Stryper have been confirmed to headline the Monsters Of Rock Cruise Kickoff Party on Friday, April 17th at Magic City Casino in Miami., FL. Details will be revealed soon. Go to the official Monsters Of Rock Cruise Facebook page here for updates.

Stryper frontman Michael Sweet recently checked in with another brief but noteworthy update via Facebook:

"It's time. I'm in writing mode for the new Stryper album. We start pre-production mid January and we begin tracking on February 1st New album in 2015!"

Stryper is back with their latest release, a live CD/DVD combination called Live At The Whisky, out now via Frontiers Records. 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.
