The Yellow and Black Attack is the debut EP by American Christian metal band Stryper. It was originally released in 1984 as a six-song EP, and fewer than 20,000 copies were pressed, as their label, Enigma Records, was unsure of the potential market for Christian metal. CCM Magazine was slightly critical, citing production quality and the short length of the release, but commented that "Stryper has the promise of a major success story." Enigma Records' Wes Hein later recalled that even before the EP's release, the label was receiving calls from Christian communities looking to purchase copies in bulk for distribution at churches: "When it's out, I want to buy a box... We're going to give them out at our church."
