It wasn't until the group changed their name to Stryper (which | | stood for "Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace Encouragement and | | Righteousness") that things really began taking off for the quartet. | | Specializing in the melodic Van Halen/Def Leppard style (with heart- | | wrenching power ballads tossed in), dressed in all black-and-yellow | | outfits, and spreading their religious message even further by tossing | | bibles out into the crowd at their shows, Stryper was signed by the | | Enigma label in 1984. The same year, the group's debut recording, a | | six-track mini album titled The Yellow & Black Attack, was issued. The | | album created a buzz for the group among metalheads, which was only | | heightened with the release of their first full-length album, 1985's | | Soldiers Under Command. The first Stryper release to crack the Billboard | | charts, its success resulted in the re-release of The Yellow & Black | | Attack (which included an extra two tracks and new artwork) in 1986. | | Later the same year, Stryper issued their sophomore full-length, To Hell | | with the Devil, which many consider to be the group's finest hour. | | Turning out to be the highest-charting album of their career (barely | | missing the Top 30), the platinum-certified album benefited by MTVs | | repeated airings of the videos for "Calling on You" and the syrupy | | ballad "Honestly" (the latter of which peaked at number 23 on the U.S. | | singles charts). Despite possessing a different message than their | | peers, Stryper's music by this point fit in perfectly with the other | | popular pop/hair metal bands of the day (Bon Jovi, White Lion, Dokken, | | etc.).Yet just as it appeared that Stryper could possibly break through | | on a massive scale, such new metal styles as thrash (Metallica) and more | | stripped-down rock (Guns N' Roses) began to usurp Stryper's pop-metal | | audience. As a result, Stryper's next release, 1988's In God We Trust, | | failed to expand their following, nor did it live up to promise of its | | predecessor (although it did manage to earn gold certification). Sensing | | this, the group adopted a harder-edged sound and look for 1990's Against | | the Law, and even covered the Earth, Wind & Fire funk classic, "Shining | | Star." Neither managed to cross over to the top of the charts.A | | greatest-hits set, Can't Stop the Rock, followed in 1991, but with | | Nirvana just about to ring the death knell for pop-metal bands, Michael | | Sweet decided to leave the group for a solo career. Surprisingly, the | | remaining members of Stryper opted to carry on as a three-piece (with | | Fox handling lead vocal duties), and continued to tour for a spell. The | | Michael Sweet-less version didn't last long however, as Stryper | | officially called it quits in 1992. In the wake of their split, its | | members remained busy. Michael Sweet's solo career never scaled the same | | heights as Stryper's, although solo releases have appeared on a somewhat | | regular basis, with 1994's Michael Sweet, 1995's Real, and 2001's Truth. | | Robert Sweet issued a solo recording, Love Trash, in addition to studio | | work, while Fox and Gaines formed a new group, Sin Dizzy, who issued a | | rock opera (concerning the crucifixion of Jesus Christ), titled He's Not | | Dead. During the intervening years, a large core of devoted fans | | remained intact, resulting in all of Stryper's albums being reissued by | | Hollywood Records. In 1999, Sin Dizzy played a show with Michael Sweet, | | which ended in an off-the-cuff jam session of old Stryper tunes รน | | resulting in reunion rumors. And with a heightened nostalgic interest | | regarding '80s era metal bands come the early 21st century, Stryper | | agreed to sporadically reunite for a "Stryper Expo," which has since | | turned into an annual event. Stryper's second greatest-hits' collection, | | 7: The Best of Stryper, followed in 2003, and included a pair of new | | tunes recorded especially for the collection, "Something" and "For You." | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Sharing Widget |
