Sweet & Lynch (Stryper singer Michael Sweet and longtime Dokken guitarist George Lynch) have announced their third collaborative album, Heart & Sacrifice, due out May 19th. Ahead of the release date, the duo have offered up the lead single “You’ll Never Be Alone.”
The track showcases the proven talent of both Sweet and Lynch. The singer’s arena-ready vocals are upfront and full of bravado, while the guitarist lays down the chunky riffs and incendiary lead playing that he is known for in Dokken and his own group, The Lynch Mob.
“I’m very pleased with the outcome of the new Sweet & Lynch album Heart & Sacrifice,” Sweet remarked via a press release. “It’s diverse, complex, and flows beautifully. Every song has something to say in its own unique way.”
Added Sweet regarding his latest collab alongside Lynch: “George has always been one of my favorite players and it’s an honor to work with him again. It’s also an absolute pleasure working with Alessandro [Del Vecchio, bassist and co-producer]. We’re able to bring all our own contributions and contribute to create an amazing set of songs and I couldn’t be happier with the results.”
The group’s lineup for the record is rounded out by drummer Jelly Cardarelli, alongside Sweet, Lynch, and Del Vecchio. Previously, Sweet & Lynch released the 2015 album Only to Rise and its follow-up Unified two years later.
