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