Stryper have released the first set of dates for their upcoming tour in support of their new album, "Murder By pride". Click Here for dates and venues. The album will be released July, 21 on Big 3 Records.

When asked for comment about the new record, singer Michael Sweet offered, "I got the idea of the title 'Murder By Pride' from seeing pride consume dreams, goals and many times, lives. We all deal with pride and it can be crippling, so I wanted to write a lyric and a theme that would be a constant reminder of that. This record has been in the works for a long, long time and I can only hope that it was worth the wait!".
