To Hell With the Devil - A 40th Anniversary Salute (CD, 2026) Limited Edition Stryper Tribute

2026 marks the 40th Anniversary of one of the most iconic albums ever released in Christian metal — and one of the defining melodic metal records of the entire 1980s. When Stryper unleashed To Hell with the Devil in 1986, the landscape of hard rock and metal changed forever. More than a breakthrough album, it became a cultural moment that shattered expectations, crossed musical boundaries, and proved that faith-driven metal could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest releases of the decade.

Four decades later, the legacy of To Hell with the Devil remains undeniable.

Now, Roxx Records honors that legacy with an ambitious full-album tribute celebrating the music, influence, and enduring power of this legendary release.

Roxx Records Salutes the Soldiers Under Command on the 40th Anniversary of To Hell With The Devil brings together an incredible lineup of artists to reimagine every track from the original album in sequence — concluding with a special bonus rendition of “Soldiers Under Command.” More than a tribute album, this is a passionate salute from musicians deeply inspired by the music, message, and impact of Stryper.

From the arena-sized hooks of “Calling On You” and “Honestly,” to the driving metal force of “More Than A Man” and “Rockin’ The World,” these songs remain as powerful today as they were in 1986. To Hell with the Devil helped open doors for an entire generation of Christian hard rock and metal bands, while also earning respect far beyond the Christian music world. Its influence continues to echo through countless artists and albums to this day.

Roxx Records assembled a powerhouse lineup of performers who approached these songs with both reverence and creativity — delivering fresh interpretations while preserving the heart and spirit of the originals. The project also features stunning new artwork inspired by the album’s iconic angel imagery, newly reimagined by Bill Bafford and Juan Carlos Arce of Lux Studio.
