Waiting for comments from "fans" saying that it's unfair to have a song just for the fan club, that they've been fans since year X and they already spent a lot with the band and deserved to have this song too

It's there business but I'm not joining, have to pick carefully where I spend the couple discretionary dollars these days.

This just isn't fair. I've been a fan since 1986. I've spent money on their albums. I deserve to have this song too. My life is over. Thanks a lot, Stryper.

Shut it.

This. But I’ll buy their next album.

Tritto (it's like ditto... but with three)

As far as I know, the fan club has offered only one other exclusive download, which is a "dubstep" remix of "To Hell With the Devil". Now, I don't know what a dubstep is, but my ears still haven't forgiven me for listening to it. 
The new song better be nothing anywhere similar to that.

Pass for me. I'm even skipping The Choir's latest Kickstarter endeavor, the re-release of Chase the Kangaroo.

Is this the only sing they released to the fan club only? I've been a fan since 1985 and bought all their CDs, some of the vinyl, some singles and have some of the cassettes and merch. Everyone should have accrss to their songs. This will probably eventually be on youtube legally or illegally and or be on an upcoming album. I have no plans right now of joining the fan club.

Not to cause a fuss or an argument, but I don't agree with how Greg Hayes of Grider Music was treated when he legally got the licensing to reissue the 3 albums.

Stryper is one of my favorite bands and I will support them by buying their albums. I don't agree with everything they do. Then again, I don't agree with everything that alot of Christians do.

They released "By His Stripes (We Are Healed)" last year too...

Nope. They released another exclusive tune last year too...

Are all 3 of those songs still available if you pay the money?

If you pay the $17.77 you definitely have access to "By His Stripes (We Are Healed)" and "In the Darkness You Are Light".
I haven't bothered looking up the dubstep abomination. 
You can't download the songs to anything but a Patreon app. However,  I was able to play the songs and record them with an audio cable plugged into the headphone and microphone jacks. The sound is passable
