"Hero" Music Video!!!
About the latest album, "Awake"
One of Christian music’s top-selling rock bands, GRAMMY®-nominated Skillet
returns with its latest recording capturing the raw energy and multi-textured sonic landscape for which they have become known.
A mixture of dissonant chords, anthemic builds and memorable vocal interpretation combine to form a progressive, yet classic
rock-influenced sound that’s all their own. Skillet’s straightforward message and innovative sound has
garnered the band seven #1 songs and an avid fan base.
Experience pounding, classically influenced rock with a progressive edge, colored by dissonant chords,
and gutsy vocals on the latest release from Skillet, best known for hits including “Savior.” Relevant,
innovative and unforgettable, Skillet continues its tradition of a straightforward, in-your-face gospel message of
hope.
"Awake" album reviews!!!
Here's what other people think about Skillet's 8th studio album release.
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. It's indeed a fusion unlike any
other, marking the latest chapter in the continuous evolution of Skillet, whose moniker couldn't be more fitting for their
explosive new Lava/Atlantic Records release, Comatose. More
than just making a disc packed with killer compositions, John Cooper hopes Comatose's deeper meaning will strike
a chord on all levels with listeners from any walk of life. "We live in a time where technology and information is so fast,
but somehow we've never felt more alone," he sums up, referencing a line by Matthew McConaughey in Contact. "We're all so
desperately trying to communicate with each other online with MySpace and instant messenger that no one gets to know one another,
and they feel so alone with nobody to talk to about their problems. So I guess in Bono-esque fashion we're talking about how
we need to wake up and come out of the sleep we're in and start reaching out to one another, getting it right in our own lives
and actually being there for someone else."
"As soon as my feet hit the stage, I know no matter how many people are there
I'm going to give it everything I've got. I'm going to do the best show I can do; the wildest show. I'm gonna rock it. I think
we captured that feeling on our record [Comatose]."
- John Cooper
