STRYPER have shared a lyric video for ‘Go Tell It On The Mountain,’ pairing their version of the traditional hymn with the announcement that the single will be available for streaming and download for the first time. The recording comes from The Greatest Gift of All, their Christmas album available through Frontiers Music Srl.

The album, described in the announcement as last year’s release, remains available exclusively in physical formats. The single’s digital availability follows that physical-only release.

Michael Sweet explains the choice of song and the band’s approach: “‘Go Tell It On The Mountain’ is a traditional hymn that tells the story of the birth of Jesus. Not many people have covered this song, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to heavy it up and do our own version. Merry Christmas and God Bless you all.”

Produced by Sweet, The Greatest Gift of All combines five traditional songs with five originals. The project followed decades of requests from fans for a full-length STRYPER Christmas record, bringing holiday standards and new compositions into the band’s faith-centered hard rock and metal approach.

“We have wanted to record a Christmas album for many years. Ever since we released our first single ('Reason for the Season') back in 1985, the fans have been asking for a full-length Christmas album. Well, the time has finally come,” Sweet says. “We wanted to make an album of five traditional songs and five original songs. To put our own spin on our own Christmas album and not follow the pack, so to speak. We could not be more pleased with how it turned out!”

The lineup features founding members Michael Sweet on lead vocals and lead and rhythm guitar, Robert Sweet on drums and percussion, and Oz Fox on vocals and lead and rhythm guitar, alongside Perry Richardson on vocals and bass. STRYPER’s four-decade career includes more than 10 million albums sold worldwide and multiple Billboard Top 40 hits, according to the announcement.
