Brothers Michael and Robert Sweet, Oz Fox and Tim Gaines make up Stryper. Originally formed in 1982 in Orange County, California, Stryper helped put Christian Hard Rock/Metal on the map and, in all honesty, paved the way for the bands that they competed with in the Awards. A nine year hiatus (1992-2000) found the band members pursuing music apart, but the Yellow and Black came back and are going as strong as ever with a new album, The Covering, that just hit stores.
