* UnfortunateImplications: The album ''God Damn Evil'' gained controversy in 2018 as Christian retail chains [[https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/walmart-refuses-to-carry-strypers-new-album-god-damn-evil/ refused to stock the album]], and some openly Christian rock music fans balked at the title for being too profane, thinking that it's using God's name in vain. Michael Sweet refuted the criticism in an interview however, viewing that the title was taken wholly out of context and stated "Although we respect their decision and what's done is done, it's frustrating to see something that's meant for good get misinterpreted and misunderstood." Sweet denied any intent to name the album as such for shock value, but rather as a blunt prayer request calling on God to denounce or damn all the evil in the world, which the band felt is becoming increasingly prevalent in recent years.

* PeripheryDemographic: Michael Sweet mentioned in a 2018 interview that they even had ''atheist'' and ''Satanist'' fans in their ranks, which is greatly ironic given the band's "To hell with the devil" message. Nevertheless they still stand for their message of Christian positivity.
