Just Say Rock, specialists in touring and promoting bands in Australia and New Zealand in the genre of hard rock and metal, have announced an Australian tour by reactivated Christian hard rockers STRYPER. The dates are as follows:

April 07 - Melbourne, AUS - Billboard

STRYPER was recently forced to cancel several shows in Texas due to singer Michael Sweet's bout with the flu. The band's concerts in Houston and Dallas were rescheduled for December 21 and December 22, respectively. They will feature a special Christmas segment that will include the performance of "Winter Wonderland" and their classic holiday tune "Reason for the Season", which the band says it had never performed live.

Ulterium Records (through an arrangement with the Italian label Frontiers Records) released a limited 12" picture-disc edition of the latest STRYPER album, "Murder By Pride", in Europe on December 4. The LP is strictly limited to 500 copies, and comes with a full color poster inlay.

"Murder By Pride" sold 5,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 73 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released in Europe on August 28 via Frontiers Records. It was made available in the U.S. on July 21 through Big 3 Records.

STRYPER kicked off its 25th-anniversary tour on September 11 at the House Of Blues in Boston, Massachusetts.
