Then and now: Stryper

Posted in Stryper, Then and now on December 5th, 2008 by Dr. Rock

Almost like something from a comic book, some kind of hero team, like Fantastic 4. Well as a matter of fact, Stryper is a Christian heavy metal act that was born in the beginning of the 80s, 1983 to be exact!
Their music is like an orgasm every time I listen to them, a flash of genius, and how metal should sound like. These dudes can master the soundwaves that goes around in the air, and among the audience.
But maybe they might have overdone it with some of their early accessories, but who cares when they deliver something with full force?

Stryper is a must, you have to listen to their tunes, even thou you might think Christianity doesn’t go with heavy metal, these guys shows the differ. I was very glad to see that they was booked for SRF in ’06, but was very sad when they canceled the show, to perform on a Christian festival, I can understand that in some way. SRF might too diabolic for them, but I want to hear them and I want them to have the biggest audience they can get while attending Sweden, a mecka for rock music.

They do look much wiser and sophisticated nowadays, but that doesn’t stop them to put on a great show, from what I’ve seen on youtube, these guys can still bring what we want!

Have a listen at their myspace, you will be blessed! You can also read more about them on their wikipedia page.
