As reported on Frontiers Music srl:

It is time for all the Stryper fans out there to get psyched as we will be unleashing their new album, FALLEN on October 16th! The first song from the album, “Yahweh” will be released the week of July 6th!

In the meantime, enjoy the awesome artwork for the album!

“We are so excited about our new album, “Fallen”! We always try to outdo ourselves and take things to a new level with each release. We could not be more pleased with the way this project turned out and we’re absolutely thrilled to be able to start giving you sneak peeks at music in the very near future as we begin the countdown to 10/16! Love & Respect to all our friends/fans worldwide!!” – Michael Sweet

As reported on Stryper Facebook:

On the album artwork for “Fallen” we’re proud to say that we had the honor of working with Stanis Decker again (who also did “No More Hell To Pay”). We sent Stanis the concept about Lucifer being cast out of heaven and he sent us this amazing illustration, capturing the original idea perfectly. We’re excited to be able to finally show all of you!

On June 27th, 1994 – The super-duper Aerosmith became the huge name band to release a song on the internet as a free download. Head First was the song that was available on CompuServe for one week; unfortunately fans had to endure an hour’s worth (or much more) of download time to hear the song. Those were the days. Head First was an unused song from Aerosmith’s Get A Grip sessions.

Kiss - Coffeehouse - publicity photo - #00856MO33

On June 27th, 2006 – The KISS Coffeehouse opened for business, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. For this happy grand opening, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley made their appearance. Unfortunately, the KISS Coffeehouse closed in late September of 2013, due to a lack of growth in sales. A clearance sale of all KISS novelty items took place during the closing days of this establishment as well. Goodness gracious.
