This is what Tim Gaines said about the album in an old interview back in 1998…
Well, while Stryper was still together on the “Against The Law” tour, Oz had been writing some songs that we thought would end up on the next Stryper album. Shortly after the tour Mike Sweet departed to pursue a solo career. We had been asked to do some European concerts and Oz filled in as lead vocalist. It sounded really cool and was more aggressive. Stryper officially disbanded in 1993. At this time Oz went into the studio to demo some songs and asked me to play on the tape. In 1994 we put a band together based on the songs on his demo. It sounded great and we started writing new songs on our first day. The other 2 members are Bobby MacNeil on guitar, and John Bocanegra on drums. John came up with the name Sin Dizzy. We recorded more songs and I released our first CD on my production label TGM to try to get a record deal. ” Long Way To Heaven” and “Hebrew Kings” were written around the time of the “Against The Law” tour. “Hebrew Kings” was actually played by Stryper during sound checks with Oz, Robert and myself on the ATL tour. Oz wrote those songs as well as “Rise Above” and “When the Son Comes Back” during this period and they sort of reflect the sound of that time. Songs like “He’s Not Dead” were written about 4 years later by the whole band, Sin Dizzy. Autographed by Oz Fox |
