Share This:

Religious or not, in the 80’s and 90’s if you liked hair metal you were into Stryper.

Since returning from a 12-year hiatus in 2003, STRYPER has managed to release new music on a regular basis. Their last 4 studio albums: Murder By Pride (73), No More Hell To Pay (35), Fallen (44) & God Damn Evil (77) all crashed on to the U.S. Billboard Charts!

Today they announced an Australian tour in August!

Their latest album God Damn Evil sees the band offering up their heaviest release yet and immediately shows you that Michael Sweet and company have zero intentions of mellowing with age. The next two tracks, “Sorry” and“Lost”, are classic STRYPER anthems, but with a modern heaviness and edge that carries the band’s sound into the 21st century and beyond. “You Don’t Even Know Me” and “The Valley” are excellent follow-ups to the glorious title track, with the latter being a true example of how heavy doesn’t have to equate to “fast”. Later, “Can’t Live Without Your Love” showcases that Sweet can still write great ballads. While only time will tell, pound for pound, this very well and truly might be STRYPER’s best album yet.

The line-up still features three of the original members, including singer-songwriter Michael Sweet, his brother and drummer Robert Sweet, and guitarist Oz Fox. Recently, the group welcomed iconic bassist Perry Richardson(formerly of Firehouse), who will be joining them on tour. “We’re excited about the next season of Stryper,” says Sweet. “We have the best fans in the world and the band is at the top of its game musically and spiritually. We look forward to seeing everyone on the road.”

The Yellow and Black Attack returns to Australia for the first time since 2010!
