Established in southern California in 1983, multi-platinum crossover Christian metal band, Stryper, continues to
share their positive message and energetic stage presence with a passionate following throughout the world. Since
the band's inception over 30 years ago, the founding members have stayed true to their deepest convictions, turning
from "the ways of the world" and following their hearts instead.
"In the past 34 years, we've evolved into what we are now," says vocalist and guitarist Michael Sweet. "This is what
we always really wanted to be. I love the progression. The story of Stryper is that of an underdog. We seem to go
against the grain with everything we do, and our fans tend to be the same - They're good hardworking people who
believe in love, respect, and not conforming to the ways of the world."
The members of Stryper have proven themselves as metal stalwarts, leaving an indelible mark on the genre with
each new release. With such hits as "Calling On You," "Free," "Honestly," and "Always There For You," Stryper's
album sales now exceed over 10 million worldwide. Add to that one of the most successful Christian rock albums
ever, 1986's multi-platinum To Hell With The Devil, and the unique distinction of being the first band in history to
notch two songs in MTV's Top 10 with "Free" and "Honestly."
The band has managed to leave an enduring impression on pop culture, as well.
