    Don't worry about Stryper being a Christian band or not! Worry about yourselves and be grateful that there is good music still being made.
    Rock on! God bless.

    I was a thrash metal fan in the 80s and I hated stryper and all Christian metal. In 2014 I got saved. Stryper is my favourite band and I love Christian metal.

      Dude. You should check out Impellitteri! Albums "venom" and "wicked maiden" shred hard and are very melodic and articulate with awesome vocals. Their lyrics are Christian. Apparently they aren't a full "Christian" band although the awesome guitarist (Chris impellitteri) and singer (Rob Rock) are for sure. The other members are Jewish I believe. Trust me dude you won't be disappointed. Imagine the Pain Killer Priest album in regards to explosive guitarwork, coupled with Jag Panzer's Mechanised Warfare album. Except it edifies our LORD. It's totally killer.

      @Enjoy the Ride I disagree with that. So much of their music explicitly reflects a Christian world view. Outside of 'Against the Law' and 'The Covering', I can't think of a Stryper album where the majority of the songs weren't clearly and overtly expressing a Christian world view. And in the case of 'The Covering,' the final track,, the beautiful and haunting ''God" was like a confessional prayer to the Creator, as clearly Christian as any rock song ever was.

  • @garyhill2740

    What is cool about Stryper is that their music is great metal, and you don't have to be Christian to enjoy how well they perform it. If you are Christian, you will enjoy it that much more for what it's about, and may be inspired and encouraged.
    If you aren't Christian, it gives you something to think about.
    Bottom line, these guys play classic metal as well as anyone, and they rock!

    Lyrics:
    I am taking it a day at a time
    And I don't care what the doubting voices say
    I am lifting up The name that will shine
    And The light of heavens brighter every day
    Oh I know that it's rough,
    Though I know there is pain
    Even so when it's tough,
    I will not be ashamed
    If the dawn reveals the end of days
    I'll follow you till there's No More Hell To Pay
    You have given me a gift I won't deny
    And You're offering a better world to come
    The sorrow of tomorrows left so far behind
    With the joy of what this life will soon become
    If I'm deep in the storm,
    If I'm caught in the rain
    From the time I was born,
    It's you that always remained
    If the sun has fallen from the sky
    And the stars that shine begin to hide
    When the night has stolen every day
    I'll follow you till there's No More Hell To Pay
    If the sun has fallen from the sky
    And the stars that shine begin to hide
    When the night has stolen every day
    I'll follow you till there's No More Hell To Pay

    As a pastor and a guitarist I find a lot of these comments saddening. As a Christian we are to show love not harshness. As for those who question the legitimacy of Christian metal, as a musician there is room for all at the stage. I personally love heavy metal and while I mainly listen to christian metal I can still appreciate the music other very talented musicians.

      nicolas sosolic I totally understand what you are saying, and you have a point. But when your 50 years old, you don't care about fooling people anymore. It is still hard to come up with a good song, catchy melody, and good guitar work, even if there is a "Formula" to it. I like the Formula, and unlike other aging rockers, Sweet can still actually Sing Extremely well! I also was impressed with his solo record he did with George Lynch, and he is actually a nice, cool, level headed guy. I Love Stryper, but am not really a super fan or anything. I only own 1 CD of theirs. However, when I listen to their music, I really like what I hear and the OLD stuff, to ME, still holds up today. He did go outside the box on his solo record as I said, check some of that stuff out too. I am NOT just a metal head. I have a diverse musical pallet. I can listen to Ambrosia one second, and then Loudness, or Jim Croce, the next.... I appreciate the comment

The other,Autograph,Ratt etc were ok but nothing outstanding.I still listen to some of them but i have to say that sometimes when i put Tom Waits on or some Flamenco music i'm telling myself "God,all that rock'n'roll circus was a lot of bollocks lol"

    These guys are a great band. That's the bottom line, and they sing about their God. He's also my God, my Savior & Lord. They have made a true, lasting impression, in many, many lives, planted literally millions of seeds, and they have emerged almost 30 years after the MTv glory days, humble servants, unhindered by opinions, doing what they were called to do. I admire these guys, through so much controversy, being in a place no other band has been, or ever will be, they persevered, giving all the glory, honer, & praise to Jesus. The lyrics, to this song, the passion with which they perform it, tell me everything I need to know about Stryper.

      Thank you sir, I really just thought about the 'time-line' from the opening notes of 'The Yellow & Black Attack', til' "now", and stated it. Very few artists have the talents these gentlemen have, and on top of it, they work extremely hard. 'Rock Stars' tend to live in very 'destructive' ways, and the music suffers. Stryper, (and there are others), REALLY live what they sing about, and it shows. This is easily their very best recording to date. It is hard to believe, but they did it! I for one am pumped that they did! Peace

      Jim Loeffert Glad it struck a chord with you... ;-) Seriously tho, Matt sent me a copy of his 3 song demo EP a long time ago, and I was immediately hooked. Since then, he's cranked out 3 more discs, each of which saw the recording quality improve, and the songs have actually gotten heavier in many instances. Check out 'Nailed', and 'Laying the Demon to Rest'. If counterpoint vocals are your thing, check out 'Bethlehem' and 'I am'. Enjoy!

My children can recall seeing them with me in Santa Monica, CA, USA, in the 1980s, and they still hold on to the album. One of many memorable Christian rock bands that gave solid performances during a 'rocky' and wild music era as far as cultural and religious differences. Thank you, Stryper!

You;re not really listening to their words especially the song "Soldiers under Command" There is definitely a message in this song... Hearing and Listening are to different things... Amen...

I know haters are gonna hate on them , but they have had to put up with that shit since they started. ...and not just from the metal community, but from the christian side as well. I was a "closet" Stryper fan, myself , but have grown up and as an adult don' t care what others think. Just ENJOY the music and don't try to LABEL it. Be it pop- metal, Christian rock, or whatever... Music is music ...

Also among Christian rock band songs this is the overall leader in popularity on TH-cam. This song. I really like the video too. Good to see Oz in top form on the guitar, and Micheal controlling his voice better not drowning out all of the other members with his opera style singing LOL

I think even Barren Cross and Whitecross are playing this days. If you just take bands of that hairmetal generation a bunch of those bands still on the road somewhere.

    Lyrics:
    2. No More Hell To Pay
    I am taking it a day at a time
    and I don't care what the doubting voices say
    I am lifting up the Name that will shine
    and the light of heaven's brighter everyday
    [PRE-CHORUS 1]
    Oh, I know that it's rough
    though I know there is pain
    Even so when it's tough
    I will not be ashamed!
    [CHORUS 1]
    If the dawn reveals the end of days
    I'll follow You till there's no more hell to pay!
    You have given me a gift I won't deny
    and You're offering a better world to come
    The sorrow of tomorrows left so far behind
    with the joy of what this life will soon become
    [PRE-CHORUS 2]
    If I'm deep in the storm,
    if I'm caught in the rain
    From the time I was born
    it's You that always remained!
    [CHORUS 2]
    If the sun has fallen from the sky
    and the stars that shine begin to hide
    When the night has stolen everyday
    I'll follow You till there's no more hell to pay!
    [CHORUS 2]
    If the sun has fallen from the sky
    and the stars that shine begin to hide
    When the night has stolen everyday
    I'll follow You till there's no more hell to pay!

As for this band? I like them, they sing and play very well, and they bring forth a sense of positive that is much needed in today's world. Be respectful of what others believe in, there is no need for cat-calling and negativity. If God and Christianity are your solace, and it brings you to a better place in your personal life, then so be it. No one can or should try to take that from you.

'But, I became a Christian because I believe in our Saviour Jesus Christ!! He brought me out of the hell that I lived through my divorce. I drank a lot to forget my pain but it didn't work. But now. I have recuperated my life because of Jesus Christ our Lord Saviour. Yes, I am not perfect and I am still a sinner. But, I confess that Jesus Saved me from my defeat and gave me a better life. Nobody is perfect, not even me, but, I fight the good fight. I still drink do not get me wrong but now I drink out of joy. I do not hurt anyone nor do I offend anybody.
