THE TRUTH
WILL BE THERE
Reborn
is the
sixth album
from the
Christian
metal band
and the first
full-length album
of new material
since
Against the Law
in 1990.
Reborn
was slated to be a
solo record,
but after their
reunion tour,
Sweet played it
for the other members,
at which time
Oz Fox
suggested it
should be a
Stryper record.
So the other members
came in
and learned
their parts
from the
original demos.
Sweet says in his
autobiography,
Honestly:
My Life and Stryper Revealed,
that he convinced
Big3 Records,
which had signed him
for a solo release,
to make it a
Stryper
record deal.
Thus,
Reborn
became the
first all-original
Stryper record
in 15 years.
The sound of the album
is more contemporary
compared to their
previous records.
It is also heavier
and has
influences of
nu metal.
The sound has been
cited as more mature
than their
previous material,
"less glam and more filling",
according to one reviewer.
This is the first album
recorded by
the band with
new bass
guitar player
Tracy Ferrie.
Reborn
was released with a
variety of cover art,
depending on
format
and region.
The alternate
US cover art
was created for
record outlets
(such as Christian bookstores)
where the original
cover art
may have been
perceived as too
disturbing or offensive.
