Bio:
Stryper is a Christian glam metal band from Orange County, California. The group's lineup consists of Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar), Oz Fox (guitar), Tim Gaines (bass guitar), and Robert Sweet (drums). In 2004, Gaines left the band and was replaced by Tracy Ferrie (bass guitar) but rejoined in 2009.Formed in 1983 as Roxx Regime, the band soon changed their musical message to reflect their Christian beliefs, and the band's name was also changed to Stryper. They went on to become the first overtly Christian heavy metal band to gain acceptance in the mainstream.[2] In 1983, they signed with major label Enigma Records and released their debut album The Yellow and Black Attack. In the mid-1980s, Stryper enjoyed their most successful period beginning with the release of To Hell with the Devil, which achieved Platinum sales status. Stryper went on to release two more Gold albums before breaking up in 1992. In 2003, Stryper came out of retirement for a reunion tour and subsequently signed a multi-album contract with Big3 Records in 2005. In 2013 they signed a multi-album deal with Frontiers Records, and have released an EP, Second Coming, which includes 14 re-recorded songs from their first three albums and an album, No More Hell to Pay, released on October 15, 2013.

Produced by Michael Wagener, the album’s polished harmonies, sharper songwriting, and powerful message earned both street cred with rockers and inspiration for countless fans.Now, four decades later, this collector’s edition celebrates that historic moment with ”Soldiers Under Command Live at Spirithouse”. It remains the only time Stryper performed the album in full, and marked Oz Fox’s first show after two successful brain surgeries.These songs haven’t lost any power, all are fantastic to hear 2025 in these versions – all Stryper members are in great shape, tight, energetic, emotional. An awesome performance.
