Coming off the heels of 2013’s successful inaugural Stryper Fan Excursion, the band has announced the dates and location for year two. Mark your calendar for October 10th - 12th, 2014 and plan to be in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Since Stryper re-united in 2002, Raleigh would spend the next 12 years as the headquarters for the band. Their management team, Deep South Entertainment was (and is) in Raleigh. The Stryper.com merchandising company (Port Merchandise) is also based in Raleigh. And the band even had a monumental sold-out reunion show at Raleigh's historic Lincoln Theater on that tour, where part of the 7 Weeks: Live in America album was recorded. Raleigh has been the single longest standing headquarters for Stryper since they first became a band in the '80s.

Excursion packages are on sale now and space is limited. Go to http://www.stryper.com/News/fanexcursiondetails.html" target="_blank">this location for complere details including price list and itinerary.

Stryper frontman Michael Sweet recently checked in with the following update:

"When we record a new album in January/February (all original), what do you want to hear more or less of? Should we stay on track with No More Hell To Pay, or go heavier, lighter? Thoughts?"

Go to this location to offer your feedback.

Stryper is back with their latest release, a live CD/DVD combination called Live At The Whisky. The live recording will be available on September 23rd via Frontiers Records and is a must have for any fan. The concert was recorded at a sold-out show last November at the famous Whisky a Go Go on Sunset Blvd. The 16-track collection documents the band’s first show in support of their latest release, No More Hell To Pay. From the show opener “Legacy” to the final notes of show finale “Soldiers Under Command”, Live At The Whisky documents Stryper’s rich musical legacy that spans over 30 years. The original lineup comprised of Michael Sweet (vocals/guitars), Robert Sweet (drums), Oz Fox (guitars) and Tim Gaines (bass) showcase the musicianship and songs that garnered the band a huge fan base in the mainstream world and the Christian market.

"We've always wanted to record a live album that captures the rawness of the band and this is it! We couldn't be more thrilled then to have captured this at the infamous Whisky, where it all began for us. After 30 years, we're still proud to do what we do and hopefully it shows. This is an intimate performance, the way it should be."

The DVD of Live At The Whisky also contains the music videos for “No More Hell To Pay” and “Sympathy” from their latest album No More Hell To Pay. It also features an interview segment the band recorded for Nashville All Access. The concert will also be broadcast on AXS.TV on September 28th.
