Archive material and source history
Stryper formed in Orange County, California in 1983, with Michael Sweet on vocals and guitar, his brother Robert on drums, Oz Fox on guitar, and Tim Gaines on bass. They played heavy metal while openly discussing their Christian faith, which made them unusual in both the metal scene and some religious circles at the time.
Their 1986 album 'To Hell with the Devil' was a commercial peak, and songs like 'Honestly' and 'Calling On You' got radio play. The track 'I Believe In You' became particularly well-known among their fans. They took a break in the 1990s but started playing together again in 2005 and have put out new records since then.
