STRYPER, DIGITAL PRAISE Ink Multi-Platform Game Deal

March 16, 2010

Digital Praise Inc., the leader in Christian-themed, family-friendly entertainment software and currently under pending merger agreement with Left Behind Games, has 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.

STRYPER recently added KISS' "Shout It Out Loud" to the list of songs its is recording for its upcoming album of covers, to be released later in the year.

The CD will include STRYPER's renditions of the following classics:

* JUDAS PRIEST - "Breaking The Law"
