Stryper Concert in Cincinnati

Stryper is an American Christian metal band that rose to fame in the 1980s with their platinum album *To Hell with the Devil*. Formed in 1981 as Roxx Regime, they adopted the name Stryper in 1983, drawing from a Bible verse in Isaiah. Known for their yellow-and-black imagery and overtly Christian lyrics, they became the first heavy metal band with a Christian message to achieve mainstream success. Over their career, they have placed 13 albums in the top 10 of Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart.

At the concert, the band will perform with their current lineup: Michael Sweet on lead vocals and guitar, Oz Fox on guitar, Robert Sweet on drums, and Perry Richardson on bass. Their setlist draws from a catalog that includes hits from the 1980s and later albums like *No More Hell to Pay* and *Even the Devil Believes*. Fans can expect tight musicianship and a high-energy show.
