Bio:

Skillet recently made headlines when their last album, Awake, became one of just three rock albums to be certified platinum in 2012, forming an improbable triumvirate with the Black Keys’ El Camino and Mumford & Sons’ Babel. The news that Skillet had sold more than a million albums in the U.S. came as a shock to all but the band’s wildly diverse horde of fans, male and female, young and old—known as Panheads—whose still-swelling ranks now officially number in the seven-digit range. This remarkable achievement was announced just as Skillet was putting the finishing touches on their eagerly awaited follow-up album, Rise (Atlantic/Word).Unwilling to stand pat or rest on their laurels, the band—lead vocalist/bassist John Cooper, guitarist/keyboardist Korey Cooper (John’s wife), drummer/duet partner Jen Ledger and lead guitarist Seth Morrison, making his first appearance on record with Skillet—continue to explore new terrain on Rise, expertly produced by Howard Benson, who previously helmed the mega-successful Awake. Eager for new challenges, Cooper threw himself into collaborative songwriting to a far greater degree than ever before, co-writing the uplifting title song and the lacerating first single “Sick of it” with Scott Stevens, founder/leader of the L.A.-based Exies, while teaming with Nashville songsmiths Tom Douglas and Zac Maloy on the timely and anthemic “American Noise,” which Cooper considers to be the strongest song Skillet has yet recorded. On “American Noise” and the joyous “Good to Be Alive,” the band explores new stylistic territory, bringing an element of heartland rock into their aggressive, theatrical approach. The band expanded their musical palette, integrating natural, acoustic instruments like accordion, mandolin, dulcimer, harp, tympani and bells to their trademark slashing electric guitars, strings, churning synths and pummeling drums.It isn’t just the songs themselves that make Rise so gripping, it’s also the song sequences—like the radical contrast between the almost unbearable tension of “Sick of It” suddenly giving way to the ecstatic release of “Good to Be Alive,” or the way the closing three-song progression of “My Religion,” “Hard to Find” and “What I Believe” builds to a thrilling musical, thematic and emotional crescendo. Clearly, these songs and the album as a whole are embedded with an impassioned overarching message. This message courses with a tidal pull through Skillet’s entire body of work, but on Rise, it’s artfully woven into a gripping coming-of-age narrative. This sprawling work stands as the band’s first concept album—though it wasn’t premeditated.

Album:

Rise is the eighth studio album by American Christian rock band Skillet. It was released on June 25, 2013.The deluxe edition includes three bonus tracks and a DVD entitled Awake & Live DVD. It is the first album to feature guitarist Seth Morrison.The first single off the album, "Sick of It", was released on SoundCloud on April 8, 2013 and was released on iTunes on April 9,and was released to US rock radio on April 23."American Noise" was released to iTunes on April 16 as the first promotional single."Rise" was released as the second promotional single on May 14, 2013.Skillet's fourth single, "Not Gonna Die", was released on USA Today on June 10.

However, the band was then scheduled to headline the WinterJam Tour.In an Interview on January 26, 2013 In Beaumont TX, John announced that the new album would be titled Rise and would be coming out in May 2013,but was later scheduled for a June 25, 2013 release."Sick of It" was released via the iTunes Store on April 9, 2013.The lead Christian radio single, "American Noise", was released on April 16, 2013.The title track "Rise" was released May 14, 2013.The fourth track from the album "Not Gonna Die" was released on June 11, 2013.The band performed the title track off Rise on the July 11, 2013 airing of Conan.According to Howard Benson, the album was not meant to be a concept album at first, but suggested making it one after reading Pete Townsend's book on Tommy and Quadrophenia. John Cooper was hesitant because the focus on the concept can result in inferior songs. But as the band fine-tuned the songs, a story began to take shape.The album sold 60,000 copies in the US in its first week of release, debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on both the Rock Albums and Christian Albums charts.On July 12, 2016, Rise was certified Gold by the RIAA.

Album:

Comatose is the sixth studio album by American Christian rock band Skillet. Released on October 3, 2006 by Lava Records, Ardent Records and Atlantic Records,this album continues their previous album's trend of downplaying the keyboard elements that were prominent in previous releases in favor of more orchestral elements and distorted guitars. Comatose was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on November 3, 2009, their first record to do so, and has since gone platinum, selling over 1,000,000 copies as of May 20, 2016.On December 6, 2007, the album also received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album. A deluxe edition of Comatose was then released in stores on December 26, 2007 and a live DVD of their headlining tour in support of the record was released in the fall 2008.This is the last album drummer Lori Peters recorded with the band. Comatose has mainly received positive reviews. Allmusic praised its unique mixture of instruments, saying, "When guitar progressions meet piano nuances, special things happen with this band."Jesusfreakhideout.com also gave the album a high rating; "Filled with big songs from beginning to end, Comatose relies on more theatrics to build their sound while delivering substance at the same time."Christianity Today, while mostly giving the album positive remarks, felt that the ballads were a bit too pop-oriented compared to the heavier songs. They also found some of the lyrics to be generic.IGN.com gave the album a mixed review, commenting, "This may play well within that niche market of Christian music, as many of the traditional listeners eschew 'secular' radio. But anyplace else, this album will be ignored by the masses, as it's all been done before in one way or the other.

Album:

Awake is the seventh studio album by American Christian rock band Skillet. It is the follow-up to their Grammy-nominated album Comatose. The album was released August 25, 2009 by Lava Records, Ardent Records and Atlantic Records and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on July 27, 2010, and has since gone double platinum, selling over 2,000,000 copies to date.It was nominated for Top Christian Album at the Billboard Music Awards 2011 and won.This is the last album to feature guitarist Ben Kasica and the first studio release to feature drummer Jen Ledger. The singles "Awake and Alive" and "Hero" are certified Platinum, while "Monster" reached Double-Platinum status. Skillet began recording for the album around October 2008.The band recorded at Bay7 Studios in Los Angeles, California, with Howard Benson as the band's producer.The album contains 12 songs.Lead singer John Cooper wrote more than 40 songs in preparation.He said that there was much pressure while recording the album: "Every time you do a record, there's pressure because you want to outdo the last record. This time it was intensified because the last project was so successful."“We’re living in hard times right now between the news that seems to get crazier every day and all the uncertainty throughout society in general,” says Cooper. “Sometimes it doesn’t seem like there’s hope, and sure you can choose to give up, but why not face it ‘Awake and Alive’? Life is full of challenges, and sometimes when you look deep into yourself, you can feel weighed down by sin and the ‘Monster’ that lives inside us all. But the more you realize your need for Christ, the less you focus on that, and on Him instead. Everything we sing about on this album is something someone can relate to, and if anything, the songs will let you know you are not alone.” According to band members, the album is similar to their 2006 release Comatose, featuring strings and guitars with a harder rock sound than their previous album.John Cooper said that it "sounds like Skillet with some new things people may not expect." On Skillet's website, they describe their musical style as "Classic rock riffs, swirling drums, monstrous hooks, and undeniably catchy choruses... hints of old school progressive rock mixed in with modern alternative flourishes... touches of classical influence as swelling strings intersect with sonic adrenaline rushes.The band finished the first leg of their Awake and Alive Tour in support of Awake, which opened on September 24, 2009 in Fort Wayne, Indiana and encompassing 52 cities between September and December. They were accompanied by The Letter Black, Decyfer Down, and Hawk Nelson on the tour.The band recently finished the second leg of the tour with RED and The Letter Black in April.They also toured with tobyMac and House of Heroes on the Awake Tonight Tour in March and April, and will resume the tour in November and December.Awake was released on August 25, 2009, through Lava/INO Records,and debuted at No. 2 on the national U.S. Billboard 200 chart.It also placed on other Billboard magazine charts as No. 1 on Top Alternative Albums, No. 2 on Top Rock Albums, and No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums listing.The album sold 68,000 copies in its first week, Skillet's best-selling and highest charting opening week to date.In 2009, Awake tied Underoath's Define The Great Line, and Casting Crowns's The Altar and the Door for the highest charting Christian rock album on the Billboard 200, debuting at No. 2.The song "Awake and Alive" also charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 100 and No. 16 on the Heatseakers charts. It was Skillet's first song to chart on the Hot 100.The song was released to Christian CHR and rock radio in February 2010."Monster" and "Hero" were used on the soundtrack of the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 video game, with "Monster" also being used for 2009's WWE Hell in a Cell PPV and "Hero" being used for the 2009 Tribute to the Troops show and 2010's Royal Rumble pay-per-view.The Cleveland, Ohio AHL hockey team Lake Erie Monsters use "Monster" for their goal song and game-opener,the AHL hockey team Portland Pirates also use "Hero" for their game opener before the team skates onto the ice.

Album:

Invincible is the third studio album by American Christian rock band Skillet. It was released in 2000 from ForeFront Records and Ardent Records. This album continues the electronic rock that was heard on their previous release but marks the exit of original guitarist, Ken Steorts, and the entrance of his replacement, Kevin Haaland on guitar, as well as John Cooper's wife Korey on keyboards, loops, sampling and programming. There was a music video made for the song "Best Kept Secret". It was the first video by the band to have a story of some kind in it, though the story is very brief. Some of the video shows the band in the story portion in futuristic clothing, while the rest of it shows them playing in a room in similar clothing. The story portion shows the band entering a hallway, which they walk along until they come to a massive room where prisoners are being held in glass cells. All of the prisoners appear to be asleep, with gas masks over their faces. Each band member takes a pipe, at which point all of the prisoners wake up, and the band then smashes the glass of the cells. All of the prisoners fall out of the cells and onto the floor. The band helps them all up as they remove their masks. After freeing the prisoners, the band exits the way they came in.The final track, "You're In My Brain", contains a hidden song called "Angels Fall Down".

Line Up:

John L. Cooper – vocals, bass guitar
Korey Cooper – keyboards, loops, sampling, programming, guitars, backing vocals
Kevin Haaland – guitar
Trey McClurklin – drums

01. Best Kept Secret
02. You Take My Rights Away

Collide is the fifth full-length album by Christian rock band Skillet. It was originally released on November 18, 2003 under Ardent Records.The album was re-released through Lava Records on May 25, 2004 with the bonus track "Open Wounds".The album peaked at No. 179 on the Billboard 200 and No. 5 on the Top Heatseekers. The album artwork is, according to John Cooper, faith and fear colliding. This is also Skillet's first full album to feature Ben Kasica on lead guitar. A video was made for the song "Savior". The music video shows the band playing in both a house and at a park at night. It became only the second Skillet video to have a story in the video, after "Best Kept Secret", though the story in the "Savior" video is more heavily featured. The video shows an abusive father mistreating his children in the house, and the subsequent escape of the children from their father. They make their way into the park, while the location of the band playing switches from one to the other. The video ends with the children being safe in their mother's arms. Lead singer and bassist, John Cooper, has said that 'Savior' is a song written mostly about his childhood. Although he was not physically abused by his father, he had a very destructive emotional relationship with him.

Bio:

Skillet recently made headlines when their last album, Awake, became one of just three rock albums to be certified platinum in 2012, forming an improbable triumvirate with the Black Keys’ El Camino and Mumford & Sons’ Babel. The news that Skillet had sold more than a million albums in the U.S. came as a shock to all but the band’s wildly diverse horde of fans, male and female, young and old—known as Panheads—whose still-swelling ranks now officially number in the seven-digit range. This remarkable achievement was announced just as Skillet was putting the finishing touches on their eagerly awaited follow-up album, Rise (Atlantic/Word).Unwilling to stand pat or rest on their laurels, the band—lead vocalist/bassist John Cooper, guitarist/keyboardist Korey Cooper (John’s wife), drummer/duet partner Jen Ledger and lead guitarist Seth Morrison, making his first appearance on record with Skillet—continue to explore new terrain on Rise, expertly produced by Howard Benson, who previously helmed the mega-successful Awake. Eager for new challenges, Cooper threw himself into collaborative songwriting to a far greater degree than ever before, co-writing the uplifting title song and the lacerating first single “Sick of it” with Scott Stevens, founder/leader of the L.A.-based Exies, while teaming with Nashville songsmiths Tom Douglas and Zac Maloy on the timely and anthemic “American Noise,” which Cooper considers to be the strongest song Skillet has yet recorded. On “American Noise” and the joyous “Good to Be Alive,” the band explores new stylistic territory, bringing an element of heartland rock into their aggressive, theatrical approach. The band expanded their musical palette, integrating natural, acoustic instruments like accordion, mandolin, dulcimer, harp, tympani and bells to their trademark slashing electric guitars, strings, churning synths and pummeling drums.It isn’t just the songs themselves that make Rise so gripping, it’s also the song sequences—like the radical contrast between the almost unbearable tension of “Sick of It” suddenly giving way to the ecstatic release of “Good to Be Alive,” or the way the closing three-song progression of “My Religion,” “Hard to Find” and “What I Believe” builds to a thrilling musical, thematic and emotional crescendo. Clearly, these songs and the album as a whole are embedded with an impassioned overarching message. This message courses with a tidal pull through Skillet’s entire body of work, but on Rise, it’s artfully woven into a gripping coming-of-age narrative. This sprawling work stands as the band’s first concept album—though it wasn’t premeditated.

Album:

Alien Youth is the fourth album released by the Christian rock band Skillet. Developing their sound into hard-hitting industrial rock, it was released August 28, 2001 through Ardent Records.This was the first Skillet album to include guitarist Ben Kasica, replacing Kevin Haaland. Kasica joined Skillet late in the recording process for the album, only recording guitars on "Earth Invasion". It peaked at No. 141 on the Billboard 200 and No. 16 on The Australian Christian Albums Chart.The video for "Alien Youth" features the band in a futuristic city, wearing futuristic clothes much like those seen in the "Best Kept Secret" video. The opening shot is something coming down to earth. It then cuts to the futuristic city, circling around a tower with large screens at the top that display the album cover. The band is mostly shown playing in the middle of the city, with various shots of the individual band members being shown on large television screens. The video was shot on a green screen.

John Cooper – vocals, bass, sampling, programming

Album:

Unleashed is the upcoming, tenth album by American Christian rock band Skillet, due for release on August 5, 2016. The album was announced on May 20, 2016, and a lyric video was released for the track "Feel Invincible" at the same time on the band's YouTube channel. Six days later, the band released a lyric video for the track "Stars" on their YouTube channel.On February 16, 2015 Skillet announced they were writing material for a new album with recording to begin in June with a potential release in the late half of 2015 or early 2016, however it got pushed back to a later-2016 release date on August 5, 2016. The band worked with Brian Howes, who previously produced their 2006 album, Comatose, along with producers Kevin Churko, Neal Avron and Seth Mosely. Cooper stated he felt "'really inspired'" before going into the studio to record the music.Even though he said "'the songs are very aggressive, very in-your-face'", he said the new material is genuine to the Skillet sound they have crafted.On April 8, Skillet released a preview of a new song, later revealed to be called "Out of Hell", on their social media pages.On May 20, 2016 the album's title, Unleashed, was announced and is to be released on August 5, 2016 on Atlantic Records.A lyric video, "Feel Invincible", was also made available.On May 26, the lyric video and digital single "Stars" was released, along with a preview for another song titled "Back From the Dead".On July 8, the full version of "Back From the Dead" was made available for purchase online,followed by "I Want to Live" on the 29th.John Cooper noted that Unleashed is made up of songs ranging from metal to pop.Cooper also mentioned that he wanted the songs off of Unleashed to be connected both in their lyrics and music.The music video for Skillet's first single, "Feel Invincible", was released on June 29, 2016.The single charted at No. 3 on the US Christian Rock charts and No. 17 at the US Rock charts. WWE announced on July 7 that it had chosen "Feel Invincible" as an official theme for WWE Battleground 2016.The song has also been chosen as the theme for TBS' E-League, an eight-week live video-gaming competition that will be broadcast in more than 80 countries. John Cooper says the track "represents the album in one facet really well: [Unleashed] is full of crowd-chanting anthems. The album is very exciting to listen to. Driving beats and melodic choruses, whether it's hard rock or leaning toward pop.” He also notes that Unleashed is “quite diverse -- there are more extreme songs on both sides of the spectrum, meaning harder rock and even metal, but also pop and atmospheric tunes/sounds."

This sprawling work stands as the band’s first concept album—though it wasn’t premeditated.

Album:

Skillet are a band that, in my opinion, have never released a bad album. With each successive release, the band somehow finds a way to continually evolve and create tracks that you’ll find yourself singing at the most random times. Their previous release Unleashed piqued my interest in the band once again and since then they’ve been a staple in my regular listening patterns with tracks such as “Monster” and “Savior” still causing me to sing along all those years later.“Legendary” starts off the album in the style which Skillet has become famous for these days. Catchy riffs, excellent singing from both bassist Jon Cooper and drummer Jen Ledger and a chorus that you can’t help but sing along to. Whilst I’ll admit the “oh”‘s are a tad annoying for me, this is a song which will no doubt go down a storm live. “You Ain’t Ready” continues the trend but with some elements from newer albums such as electronic drum parts and synths dotted around. None of these elements detract from the song and, if anything, make it that much more enjoyable.“Save Me” is where things really start to echo songs from the past. With a riff that would be right at home on Awake and lyrics that hearken back to those days, the song is, in my opinion, one of the best songs the band has written. A cracking guitar solo from Seth adds the perfect cherry on top and cements its status as one of the strongest tracks on the album. “Terrify the Dark” takes things in a different way. Sounding similar to “Watching for Comets” from Unleashed, the track changes up the album perfectly and again showcases the great singing from both Jon and Jen.“Reach” is another track that calls to the past with the guitar driven melodies and driving drums. Whilst it’s not as aggressive as some of the earlier Skillet material, it is still a cracking track which will appeal to fans of the “older style” of Skillet. “Anchor” once again takes things in a different way with a similar style to “Terrify the Dark”. Arguably the ballad of the album, both this and the aforementioned track show that the band are capable of writing both memorable riffs and cracking reflective tracks. “Back to Life” rounds out the album by featuring everything which makes up the modern Skillet sound. Guitar and synth driven melodies dominate here and provide a perfect ending to the album.In comparison to other releases, Victorious is a lot more varied and is not afraid to do things that, in the past, would not appear on a Skillet album. The tracks on this record feel a lot stronger than on the previous album with the lyrics carrying much more meaning than before and the instrumentation fitting each track much better. There’s something for every type of Skillet fan with a wide range of brilliant songs and some fantastic performances from all band members. Skillet truly have been Victorious in creating a great album.

Line Up:

John Cooper (lead vocals, bass)
Korey Cooper (backing vocals, guitar, keyboards, 1999-present)

Guitar and synth driven melodies dominate here and provide a perfect ending to the album.In comparison to other releases, Victorious is a lot more varied and is not afraid to do things that, in the past, would not appear on a Skillet album. The tracks on this record feel a lot stronger than on the previous album with the lyrics carrying much more meaning than before and the instrumentation fitting each track much better. There’s something for every type of Skillet fan with a wide range of brilliant songs and some fantastic performances from all band members. Skillet truly have been Victorious in creating a great album.

Bio:

Skillet recently made headlines when their last album, Awake, became one of just three rock albums to be certified platinum in 2012, forming an improbable triumvirate with the Black Keys’ El Camino and Mumford & Sons’ Babel. The news that Skillet had sold more than a million albums in the U.S. came as a shock to all but the band’s wildly diverse horde of fans, male and female, young and old—known as Panheads—whose still-swelling ranks now officially number in the seven-digit range. This remarkable achievement was announced just as Skillet was putting the finishing touches on their eagerly awaited follow-up album, Rise (Atlantic/Word).Unwilling to stand pat or rest on their laurels, the band—lead vocalist/bassist John Cooper, guitarist/keyboardist Korey Cooper (John’s wife), drummer/duet partner Jen Ledger and lead guitarist Seth Morrison, making his first appearance on record with Skillet—continue to explore new terrain on Rise, expertly produced by Howard Benson, who previously helmed the mega-successful Awake. Eager for new challenges, Cooper threw himself into collaborative songwriting to a far greater degree than ever before, co-writing the uplifting title song and the lacerating first single “Sick of it” with Scott Stevens, founder/leader of the L.A.-based Exies, while teaming with Nashville songsmiths Tom Douglas and Zac Maloy on the timely and anthemic “American Noise,” which Cooper considers to be the strongest song Skillet has yet recorded. On “American Noise” and the joyous “Good to Be Alive,” the band explores new stylistic territory, bringing an element of heartland rock into their aggressive, theatrical approach. The band expanded their musical palette, integrating natural, acoustic instruments like accordion, mandolin, dulcimer, harp, tympani and bells to their trademark slashing electric guitars, strings, churning synths and pummeling drums.It isn’t just the songs themselves that make Rise so gripping, it’s also the song sequences—like the radical contrast between the almost unbearable tension of “Sick of It” suddenly giving way to the ecstatic release of “Good to Be Alive,” or the way the closing three-song progression of “My Religion,” “Hard to Find” and “What I Believe” builds to a thrilling musical, thematic and emotional crescendo. Clearly, these songs and the album as a whole are embedded with an impassioned overarching message. This message courses with a tidal pull through Skillet’s entire body of work, but on Rise, it’s artfully woven into a gripping coming-of-age narrative. This sprawling work stands as the band’s first concept album—though it wasn’t premeditated.

Album:

The basic foundation of SKILLET records is always built upon catchy choruses, straightforward song structures and female vocals (Jen Ledger) that provide a foil to male vocals (John Cooper) in just the right spots. It's the formula that's made them a multi-platinum Christian hard rock band. While they stick to that formula on their eleventh record, "Dominion", there are several elements that make it distinctly different from its predecessors. Most notably, "Dominion" offers an incredibly triumphant, positive tone, whereas earlier releases struck darker ones. Even when the tempo slows and conveys a greater sense of struggle, like the weighty song "Forever or the End", there is still a guiding sense of hope."Dominion" opens with three inspiring anthems full of fight and confidence. It's immediately clear the members are caught in a proverbial battle they're determined to win. In opener "Surviving the Game", Cooper (lead vocals, bass) pledges to follow "the way of the warrior. "Standing In the Storm", the best song on the record, spits verses with rhythmic patterns that are almost rap-like, using the more traditional chorus to deliver the unshakable message, "I've still got some life in me/ I've still got some fight in me." The title track follows that up with a ripping guitar solo and the decisive statement, "Our rebellion has begun." From here on out, the record is peppered with similar digital beats, rap-esque vocal deliveries and guitar solos, giving the radio-rock champions a little more dimension.There are ups and downs in every war, but the piano-based ballad "Valley of Death" sinks the excitement brought by the first three songs with its stereotypically Christian lyrics and saccharine melodies, losing fans who don't subscribe to gospel. A much more successful version of this track is "Refuge", whose consistent build, percussive backbone, shorter runtime, and slightly more relatable lyrics appeal to a wider range of listeners. Though not ballads, "Beyond Incredible" and "Shout Your Freedom" are similarly much more formidable versions of the song "Destiny".The penultimate track, "Ignite", is one final push toward "setting the world on fire" (as they say in the song). This is where "Dominion" should end, but instead, "White Horse" is an oddly dissonant, industrial-sounding finale that would've made much more sense as a bonus or hidden track. Ultimately, just as there is a push and pull between oppressive and liberating forces in the theme of the record, there is tension between disjointed and cohesive elements in its sound and structure. While certain tracks are enjoyable individually, the fragmented parts don't add up to a satisfying whole.
