Christian hard rockers STRYPER will release a concert CD/DVD combination called "Live At The Whisky" on September 23 via Frontiers. The live recording was captured at a sold-out show last November at the legendary Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood, California. The 16-track collection documents the band's first show in support of its latest, critically acclaimed 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. "Live At The Whisky" was produced by Michael Sweet and is available for pre-order at Amazon. "We've always wanted to record a live album that captures the rawness of the band and this is it!" says the band. "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 "Live At The Whisky" DVD contains the music videos for the songs "No More Hell To Pay" and "Sympathy", both of which are taken from "No More Hell To Pay". It also features an interview segment the band recorded for Nashville All Access. The concert will be broadcast on AXS.TV on September 28.
