American supergroup Sweet & Lynch issued second full-length studio album Unified<\/em> on November 10th, 2017 via Frontiers Music Srl.<\/p>\n

The hard rock band pairs Stryper frontman Michael Sweet with erstwhile Dokken and current Lynch Mob guitarist George Lynch.<\/p>\n

Michael Sweet commented: \u201cGeorge and I couldn\u2019t be more excited about this album! We\u2019ve worked very hard to bring you the best of both worlds – a throw back of the chart topping Stryper \/ Dokken days yet with a modern production that fits right in with anything out there now in the rock world today. We couldn\u2019t be more proud than to be working with Brian Tichy and James LoMenzo again as they are the best rhythm section you\u2019ll ever hear. If you liked Sweet & Lynch I [Only To Rise<\/em>], you\u2019re going to love Unified<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n

Unified<\/em> was recorded at Spirithouse Recording Studio in Northampton, Massachusetts and produced by Michael Sweet.<\/p>\n

A fifth Electronic Press Kit (EPK) was released for Unified<\/em> which can be accessed below. The latest clip focused on the recording studio.<\/p>\n

A video featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the album can also be viewed below.<\/p>\n
