Bio:

Stryken (originally known as Stryker was a 1980s Christian heavy metal/hard rock band based in the north Austin, Texas suburb of Cedar Park. Using stage names, the group consisted of Dale Streiker (vocals, lead guitar), Stephen Streiker (vocals, rhythm guitar), Joey Knight (drums), and Ezekiel Vade (bass guitar).Often characterized as a mere clone of Stryper (another more prominent Christian metal band popular at the time), Stryken issued several releases on their own private label, Crystal Records, including the 1986 12" single with the tracks, "Rock On" and "Surprise", and the 1987 full-length album, First Strike (which has since been reissued with previously unreleased material).The band's lyrics made prominent use of Biblical verses such as the anthemic song, "Crush the Head of Satan", which was a reference to the Old Testament prophetical verse of Genesis 3:15 and the New Testament verse of Romans 16:20. Many believed that the song's figuratively violent lyrics promoted actual physical violence which the band did not deny but rather affirmed with the statement that any such violence was "well directed".In June 1987, the members of Stryken were detained by police after disrupting a Mötley Crüe concert in San Antonio, Texas. Carrying a large wooden cross and clad in full body armor (inspired by the theological teaching of the "Armor of God" as found in the sixth chapter of the New Testament book, Ephesians), Stryken first proselytized concertgoers outside of the venue and then proceeded inside to the front of the stage. After being detained by police, the band was released without charges.The members of Stryken all used stage names to conceal their true identities.One of the members of Stryken, stage name, Stephen Streiker, (birth name, Stephen Hopkins) has gone on to "repent" of his career in "Christian rock", which he now refers to as, "a contradiction of terms".Today Hopkins serves as an elder and pastor of a "family-integrated" reformed Baptist church in Burnet, Texas, and is the father of sixteen children. He also authored the book, The Cult of Jabez, and the falling away of the church in America.

Album:

Few weeks ago we featured here the RetroActive Records remastered reissue of ’80s rocker STRYKEN recordings, and now we complete the circle with “Stryker: The Early Years“, featuring the very first recordings from the band when still operated under the name ”Stryker”.The band was put together in Arizona in the late Seventies by founding members Dale and Steve Streiker initially under the Stryker moniker. After releasing a single and a four song demo, the band move to Austin in late 1982, and by the spring of the following year the band recorded their first album entitled Blitzkrieg that sold very well.On “Stryker: The Early Years” we have the very early stages of the band. In 1980, BIRC Records released 2 of the 50+ songs they had written so far, on a 45 RPM 2-sided single. The songs, produced by Joe Bidwell, were recorded at Autograph Recording Studios in Tucson, Arizona and were titled “On The Phone” and “As The Rain Goes”.These songs, at the time, were considered to be in the power-pop / New Wave / glam genre similar to The Cars, New York Dolls, The Knack, and KISS members 1978 ‘solo albums’, especially Ace Frehley and Peter Criss Lp’s.Soon thereafter, Joey Knight (Drummer) and David Kurowski (Bass Guitar), both from Tucson, joined STRYKER and now the stage was set to rapidly develop and record new music to share with their growing fan base.“Stryker: The Early Years” contains 5 previously unreleased songs, of which 4 have never have been released on CD nor MP3 including “Playing On The Radio,” “As The Rain Goes,” “On the Phone,” and “Life Can’t Be The Same” which provides you with a glimpse of how the band matured.Very cool, enjoyable early Eighties glammy pop stuff.
