| Formed in 1983,
Stryper are pioneers in the mainstream popularization of
Christian hard rock and metal music, with overall sales
in excess of 8 million records and one Platinum and two
Gold records received for the albums "To Hell with
the Devil" and "In God We Trust". The band
released five studio albums before disbanding in February
1992. Singer Michael Sweet pursued a solo career, while
the other members have kept on working together, until Stryper
came back in the original line up during 2005, releasing
the acclaimed new album entitled "Reborn". In
the past few years singer Michael Sweet started to cooperate
with Boston and the result of this is a stunning recording
of the classic song "Peace of Mind" on the brand
new album "Murder By Pride", which sees none other
than Tom Scholz guesting on guitar. "After
years of speaking to fans and hearing comments like 'more
guitars,' 'more solos' and 'more screams'", says Michael
Sweet "I decided to keep those comments in mind as
I wrote each song. It was important to me to try to get
back to that early sound of STRYPER yet at the same time,
to remain relevant today. It's certainly not an easy thing
to do but as I listen to 'Murder By Pride', I think that
was accomplished". "I got
the idea of the title 'Murder By Pride' from seeing pride
consume dreams, goals and many times, lives" continues
Sweet "We all deal with pride and it can be crippling,
so I wanted to write a lyric and a theme that would be a
constant reminder of that. This record has been in the works
for a long, long time and I can only hope that it was worth
the wait!"
