2026 marks the 40th Anniversary of one of the most legendary albums ever released in Christian Metal — and arguably one of the most influential melodic metal albums of the entire 1980s. Stryper shattered barriers in 1986 with the groundbreaking release of To Hell with the Devil, an album that didn’t just define a genre — it created a movement. Four decades later, its impact still echoes through the world of hard rock and metal.

Now available and IN STOCK at GirderMusic.com, this incredible tribute release from Roxx Records celebrates the power, passion, and legacy of one of metal’s greatest albums ever recorded.

“Roxx Records Salutes the Soldiers Under Command on the 40th Anniversary of To Hell With The Devil” is a full-album tribute featuring a massive lineup of artists reimagining every song from the original classic in chronological order — capped off with a powerful bonus rendition of “Soldiers Under Command.” This is not just another tribute album; it’s a heartfelt salute from musicians and fans whose lives were shaped by the music and ministry of Stryper.

From the soaring harmonies and unforgettable hooks of “Calling On You” and “Honestly,” to the driving metal anthems “More Than A Man” and “Rockin’ The World,” these songs remain timeless. Stryper proved that faith and metal could coexist on the world stage, opening doors for countless Christian rock and metal bands that followed. Albums like this simply do not come around often. Their influence can still be heard across generations of artists today.





Roxx Records assembled an impressive roster of musicians who poured genuine love and respect into these performances, delivering fresh interpretations while honoring the spirit of the originals. The project also features stunning new artwork inspired by the iconic angel imagery from the original album, reimagined by Bill Bafford and Juan Carlos Arce of Lux Studio.

Featuring performances by:

  • Reign of Glory
  • Becoming Sons
  • Latter Reign
  • German Pascual
  • Testimony of Apocalypse
  • All For The King
  • Undoubting Thomas
  • Weapons of God
  • Seth Metoyer
  • Motivik
  • Severed Angel
    …and more.

  1. Abyss 2.0 (Ted Gardner)
  2. To Hell With The Devil (Reign of Glory)
  3. Calling On You (Becoming Sons)

If you love melodic metal, soaring vocals, massive guitar riffs, and albums that changed the landscape forever, this tribute belongs in your collection.
