To mark the 30th anniversary of their seminal album, "To Hell with the Devil," Stryper is going on a 27-city tour starting on Sept. 29 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Lead singer Michael Sweet said that "To Hell with the Devil" changed their lives.

"During that tour we went from playing theaters and mid-sized clubs to arenas, all in a very short amount of time," he recounted. "We never could have predicted the wild popularity of those songs and videos - especially in the mainstream market."

Stryper released its third album, "To Hell with the Devil," on Oct. 24, 1986. During that time, Christian metal is still not as popular as it was today. But the album was the first to achieve platinum status. When MTV was at its peak, the rock band's songs, "Free" and "Honesty," were the top most requested music videos.
