Stryper is a Christian metal band from Orange County, California, USA. Formed in 1983, they are pioneers in the mainstream popularization of Christian rock music. Stryper enjoyed great success during the late 1980s, with one Platinum and two Gold records, before breaking up in 1992 at a time when most metal groups of the 1980s were losing popularity. However, the band reunited in 2003 and are attempting a comeback in the Christian music world.

The name "Stryper" derives from the King James Version of Isaiah 53:5:

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

The scriptural reference is also part of Stryper's logo on most of their releases. (They also incorporate stripes into most of their outfits and their logo.) In addition, the band's name has been said to stand for:

"Salvation Through Redemption, Yielding Peace, Encouragement, and Righteousness."

    Stryper in the news

    Title says it all.

    "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but for those reason readers who compulsively listen to Stryper and/or Keel, you might consider consulting a doctor. And if you happen to live in Sweden, you might want to locate the closest welfare office." Read on and scratch your head in wonder and the rather interesting recent ruling.

    I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert in the genre of 80s hair metal, and without question, Stryper is the single most underrated band in this illustrious group. To the media’s and general public’s credit, it’s easy to see how the group could have been, at best, unappreciated, and at worst, laughed at relentlessly. After all, these four g
