The "Yellow and Black Attack," Stryper, have returned with "Blood From Above," the first song off their newly-announced Even the Devil Believes album, which will be out Sept. 14.

It's the first music from the Christian metal group since 2018's God Damn Evil and wields a classic heavy metal sound, powered by razor wire riffing, agile lead playing and a forceful performance from singer Michael Sweet, who hits some piercing falsetto screams toward the song's end.

Commenting on the new release, Stryper exclaimed, "We are beyond excited to be able to announce a new album and for the first time, with our new bassist Perry Richardson! We’ve worked so hard through some very difficult times to bring you an amazing album and hopefully one that will go down as our very best."

"Blood From Above" is one of the 11 tracks that make up Even the Devil Believes, which is set to include songs such as "Make Love Great Again," "Middle Finger Messiah," and "Don't Let the Darkness In."

Listen to the new song further down the page and read the lyrics here.

A star to shine, a true life divine
Born to die for me and for you
Prophesied, with no love denied
It's redemption and power so true

He's a holy human sacrifice
Nailed upon a cross
A righteous murder scene of love
Flowing down grace
In the blood from above

Evil is damned in the special plan
A straight and narrow path is for all
The crucifixion the torment of I am
Where Golgotha's at
He answered the call

He's a holy human sacrifice
Nailed upon a cross
A righteous murder scene of love
Flowing down grace
In the blood from above

He's a holy human sacrifice
Nailed upon a cross
A righteous murder scene of love
Flowing down grace
In the blood from above
