After Roxx Regime became a Christian band, they rewrote the songs from the band's demo tape to reflect their faith. They were soon signed by Enigma Records. The record company liked the band and their music, but suggested they change their name. With that, Roxx Regime became Stryper. There were no official releases under the name of Roxx Regime until Stryper released The Roxx Regime Demos in 2007
