Stryper’s Michael Sweet on ‘Soldiers Under Command’: “We may have looked like drag queens going to war…” – 2022

Michael Sweet:

My favorite “classic” Stryper album by far! “Soldiers Under Command” was released on this day 37 years ago!

We may have looked like drag queens going to war, but we sounded like soldiers fighting The Lord’s battle plan👊

What’s your favorite songs?

Mine?

“The Rock That Makes Me Roll”
“(Waiting for) A Love That’s Real”

Produced/engineered by Michael Wagener, Stryper released ‘Soldiers Under Command’ on August 23, 1985. The album reached #84 on the Billboard 200 and was certified GOLD (April 6, 1988) for selling over 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone.

Our new album “The Final Battle” is my personal favorite.
This is our modern day Sodliers Under Command combined with To Hell With The Devil! If you liked those two albums, you will LOVE The Final Battle👊
New music video coming soon for the song “Transgressor”💪 pic.twitter.com/TKrvTDHLZI
