PR Newswire (US)
NEWARK, Calif., March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Praise ®
Inc., the leader in Christian-themed, family-friendly entertainment
software and currently under pending merger agreement with Left
Behind Games (BULLETIN BOARD: LFBG) , today announced it has
entered into a strategic relationship with Stryper, the top-selling
Christian metal band. Together, Digital Praise and Stryper intend
to develop new products leveraging the band's top live performance
recordings. "This is our first opportunity to license music
directly from a top Christian artist," said Tom Bean, President and
CEO of Digital Praise. "It is unbelievable to be working with
Stryper, the first openly Christian heavy metal band to gain
recognition in the mainstream music world. The idea of creating the
first band-specific expansion packs for our guitar and dance video
games is another first for Stryper." "Since 1984, Stryper has
always been a band on the cutting edge that has broken down
barriers," said Dave Rose of talent agency Deep South
Entertainment, which represents Stryper. "During their 25th
Anniversary World Tour, legions of loyal Stryper fans have been
coming out to experience the energy of their favorite Stryper songs
performed live. So it's exciting that Digital Praise is planning on
merging the world of interactive games and the live Stryper
experience. Both Stryper and Digital Praise are once again on the
cutting edge of technology and music. We're thrilled to be
involved." Digital Praise is excited to be working with Stryper and
has already started working with many of the live Stryper
recordings. About Stryper: Looking back over the last 25 years,
Stryper is considered a groundbreaking act by all accounts. Since
the band's label debut in 1984, the quartet has sold more than 8
million albums worldwide. The first Christian rock band to enjoy
decided success in the mainstream market, Stryper's RIAA certified
platinum 1986 magnum opus To Hell with the Devil is listed among
the "100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music" as designated by CCM
Magazine. One of the most mesmerizing stage acts still today,
Stryper received tremendous exposure on television's MTV and VH1,
paving the way for more faith-fueled bands to be considered for
airplay. "We attribute so much of our success to God," Stryper
founding member Michael Sweet says unashamedly. "He has
orchestrated this band, and His hand has been on it from the
beginning. We often ask Him, 'Why did You choose us?' We are just
average guys who He has continued to use in amazing ways." For more
