Metal Band STRYFE Announces Album “Cursed Theatre”; Political Video for “Velvet Revolution" Out!

STRYFE, a Metal Band based in Los Angeles, CA, are preparing to release their long-awaited album “Cursed Theatre” on August 12.


STRYFE’s ethnic Armenian roots are highlighted in their political anthem, “Velvet Revolution”. The song was inspired by Armenia’s 2018 Velvet Revolution, which culminated in the appointment of Nikol Pashninyan as the prime minister of Armenia. “Velvet Revolution” also has a more global meaning and is about people standing up for themselves and their rights.

Each member brings countless years of experience and musical heritage to the table, giving the group a unique yet familiar sound that reverberates across all their material.
