STRYPER – Soldiers Under Command [Japan HR/HM 1000 Vol.2 reissue series] (2020)

As part of the new Universal Music Japan campaign “HR/HM 1000 Vol.2 reissue series” including some awesome titles you need to own in a superior Japanese CD for a reasonable price. We just purchased STRYPER‘s defining album “Soldiers Under Command“, and the sound quality is great.

”Soldiers Under Command” was the LP were everything came together for Stryper’s sound, which would finely pay off and earn them a gold status and started the band’s rise to stardom.
The hair metal catchiness from the era is blended with the band’s metallic attack on ”Soldiers Under Command’, for many, Stryper’s best balanced album. From one song to another, the arrangements are tight, and the hooks, harmonies and melodies manage to stay planted on solid metal terrain despite their potential radio accessibility.
