From When We Were Kings (2024). When We Were Kings is the twentieth release and sixteenth studio album by Christian metal band Stryper, produced by frontman Michael Sweet and released on September 13, 2024. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson American Series Soloist SL3 through a Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Stryper's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
