Matt Hurich

Matt Hurich (formerly of Leatherwolf) was a member of Stryper for a brief moment. Stryper were looking for a new player back in 1986 and we had performed with Leatherwolf a few times locally. Matt had a style that was similar to Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. In 1986, Matt Hurich left Leatherwolf to join Stryper and was replaced by Paul Carman, formerly of Black Sheep.” Bassist Tim Gaines did not participate in the recording of To Hell With The Devil, and for a short period of time prior to the release of the record he was replaced by Matt Hurich. Hurich was not with the band more than a month, although he was outfitted with a yellow and black striped bass and a racing costume. Brad Cobb played bass on the album.
