Released October 24, 1986
Label Enigma Records
Producer Stephan Galfas and Stryper
To Hell with the Devil is the Grammy Award nominated fourth release, and third full-length album, by the Christian metal band Stryper, released in 1986 (see 1986 in music).[1] It was both the first Contemporary Christian and Christian metal album to achieve Platinum status, selling over one million copies. It remains the best-selling Christian metal album of all time.
The album was listed at #88 in the 2001 book, CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music. The album was the only Heavy Metal album on the list. Ian Christe, author of the heavy metal history book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal (2003), mentions To Hell with the Devil in his book as one of the landmarks of the glam metal movement.[2]
As the band started to record the album, Tim Gaines left the band. He was replaced by bassist Matt Hurich. That failed, so "session" bassist Brad Cobb took Tim's place while recording this album.
However, before the tour for it began, Tim Gaines "rejoined" the band.

| 2. To Hell With The Devil
[Verse 1]
Speak of the devil
He's no friend of mine
To turn from him is what we have in mind
[Verse 2]
Just a liar and a thief
The word tells us so
We like to let him know
Where he can go
[Chorus]
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil

White metal - достаточно призрачное понятие. К этому стилю в музыке относили представителей различных направлений, например, прогрессивных рокеров из Novella, хэви-металистов Barren Cross, даже Armored Saint. Объединяла эти команды вовсе не музыка, а тексты религиозной направленности. Но самой известной white metal-группой стала Stryper. Выступавшие в черно-желтых костюмах и раздававшие на концертах Библии парни добились серьезного успеха в 80-е. Если отстраниться от текстов и сконцентрироваться на музыке, то "полосатые" на момент записи "To Hell with the Devil" совмещали в своем творчестве традиционный хэви в духе Judas Priest с правящим бал глэм-металлом. Следует отметить, что альбом получился отменного качества. Волшебная смесь тяжести и мелодики. Насыщенные гитарные риффы, сильный и чистый вокал, удачные хоровые припевы и при этом недостаточный напор ритм-секции, - вот отличительные черты музыки Stryper. К удачам можно отнести любую из песен альбома, будь то тяжелые "Sing-Along Song" и "More than a Man", типично глэмовый хит "Free" или же баллада "Honestly". Группа Stryper в середине 80-х доказала конкурентоспособность христианского металла на мировом музыкальном рынке, кроме того, на примере пластинки "To Hell with the Devil" продемонстрировала, что и глэм может быть тяжелым и жестким. |

When things are going wrong
You know who to blame
He will always live
Up to his name
[Verse 4]
He's never been the answer
There's a better way
We are here to rock you
And to say...
[Repeat Chorus]
3. Calling On You
[Verse 1]
Inside of me there is a lonely place
Sometimes I just don't know it's there
But when I'm all alone
That's when I have to face...
[Bridge]
The part of me that needs someone
To be by my side that's when I call on...
[Chorus]
You, You make my life complete
You give me all I need
You help me through and through
I'm calling on you
[Verse 2]
I can't explain just what You do to me
My love grows stronger everyday
You give me love, You give me company
And when I have to face the rain
You bring sunshine into my life
[Repeat Chorus]
[Solo]
[Repeat Chorus]
4. Free
[Verse 1]
Free to turn away - say goodbye
Free to walk away - and deny
The gift waiting for you
Whispers a still small voice
It's your choice - you're..
[Chorus]
Free - Free to do what you want to
Choose your own destiny
Free to do what you want to
Free to open up - and believe
Free to simply ask - and receive
There's no better time than now
You've got the right to choose
You can't lose - you're...
[Repeat Chorus]
5. Honestly
[Verse 1]
Honestly, I believe in you
Do you trust in me
Patiently, I will stand by you
I will stand beside you faithfully
[Bridge]
And through the years
I will be a friend
For always and forever
[Chorus]
Call on me and I'll be there for you
I'm a friend who always will be true
And I love you can't you see
That I can say I love you honestly
[Solo]
[Chorus 2]
Call on me and I'll be there for you
I'm a friend who always will be true
And I love you can't you see
That I love you honestly
I will never betray your trust in me
And I love you can't you see
That I can say I love you honestly
6. The Way
[Verse 1]
I want to sing some other way
Always the same, never a change
What can I do to make me feel right
Change all my ways, give up my life
[Chorus]
Oh - What did you say?
Oh - Christ is the way
Rockin' for the One who is the Rock
[Verse 2]
I feel His strength come into me
Reading His word helps me to see
I feel so new, I want to sing
Feeling His joy in everything
[Chorus]
Oh - What can I say?
Oh - Christ is the way
Rockin' for the One who is the Rock
Rockin' for the One who is the Rock
7. Sing-Along Song
[Verse 1]
In a land of freedom
God has sent His grace
We're proud to live in such a place
[Verse 2]
With the right to sing
Song after song
This song's for you to sing along!
[Chorus]
Whoa-o-o-o Whoa ooo La, La
Whoa-o-o-o Whoa ooo La, La
[Verse 3]
Lift your voices higher
We want to hear you sing
Let's lift our voices to the King of King's
[Repeat Chorus]
8. Holding On
[Verse 1]
Everyone has been hurt before - love will come and go
When you put your faith in something so unsure
Never happy and wanting more - love will never grow
Till you put your faith in something that's secure
[Chorus]
I'm holding on to the One from above
The One that's secure the one that has cured
My broken heart with perfect love
[Verse 2]
I never thought it would be this good
I never even dreamed that someone could make my
Life so complete
So if you're hurting and wanting more
No matter how it seems you can have it all
If you will just believe
[Bridge]
That someone is there for you
To catch you when you fall
To make your life brand new
To give you all
[Repeat Chorus]
9. Rockin' The World
[Verse 1]
Singing out what I believe
Singing out for you
Never want to push you can't you see
We just want to spread the news
In a different way
Rock the world but rock it with the truth
[Bridge]
You want it
We got it
Rock that lifts you up it doesn't bring you down
Stand for it
Fight for it
We are...
[Chorus]
Rockin' the world for You, Holy One
Rockin' the world for You, and your son
[Verse 2]
If you want to rock the world
Come along with me
Spread the news to every boy and girl
Singing out what we believe
Singing out for truth
Opening our eyes so we can see
[Repeat Chorus]
10. All Of Me
[Verse 1]
All my life searching for the one to share
The space within my heart
To stand right by my side
[Verse 2]
Then you came to me
Shining as the morning sun
You gave your love to me
And I knew you were the one
[Bridge]
The one to share my life
To make all the wrong so right
We will live as one for all eternity
You and I
[Chorus]
I'm giving you all of me
Cause you gave me all of you
I'll love you forever
For you my love's so strong
I'm giving you all of me
Cause you gave me all of you
We'll stand together
And our love will always carry on
11. More Than A Man
[Verse 1]
Long ago, there was a man who came
Came and died for you
You, you say you don't want to know
But I've got to tell you the truth
[Chorus]
God, I will follow you because you died for me
Gave to me your life to set me free
Anyone who asks shall receive
Jesus in your heart
It's time for you to start
Giving God all the glory
[Verse 2]
More than a man, God almighty
He created you
He's the One, the One who rules the land
He is the One I choose
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
All of the glory today
No matter what some people say
All of your faith
And your life will start to change
[Repeat Chorus Twice]
