Progressive rock band THE FLYING CARAVAN has signed a contract with Italian record label Wormholedeath to world-wide release their double album “ I Just Wanna Break Even”. While Stryker / Stryken were part of CCM scene, lyrically, this release just doesn’t come off as sounding Christian per se…
Musically “Blitzkrieg” is glam / hard rock with a very commercial sound hearing slight influences of bands like KISS, Mott The Hoople, Queen, even The Cars. This first time on CD release includes as bonus tracks two different versions of the song ‘Right of Way’ (Keyboard Version & Original Version) taken from Stryker 1981 rare 4 song EP. “Blitzkrieg” was initially released via Polygraph Records on cassette with plans to release on vinyl however, the album never was pressed on that format.
Alongside the STRYKEN CD titled ‘Once Lost… Now Found’ which includes the band’s 1987 ‘First Strike’ LP plus unreleased material, Retroactive Records also released a remastered reissue of the band’s first album, 1983-84’s “ Blitzkrieg“, when still operated under the name ‘Stryker’ (before Stryper asked them to change it, switching the last letter in their name from an “r” to an “n”).
