Skillet lets their music speak the loudest. That's how the quartet has cemented its place as one of the 21st century's most successful rock bands. Selling over 11 million units worldwide, the Wisconsin quartet-John Cooper [lead vocals/bass], Korey Cooper [guitar/keys], Jen Ledger [drums/vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitars]-have received two GRAMMY® Award nominations and won a Billboard Music Award for the platinum-certified Awake. Their double-platinum single "Monster" is "the eighth moststreamed rock song of 2015" with a total of 57 million plays (and counting) on Spotify and would earn the distinction of becoming "the best-selling digital single in the history of Christian Music." 2013's Rise bowed at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 upon release and received resounding and eclectic acclaim from the likes of USA Today, New York Times, Revolver Loudwire, and more.
The group's ninth full-length album, UNLEASHED [Atlantic Records/Word], sees them turn everything up louder, amplifying all aspects of their signature hypnotic sound. Channeling an intense muse, John immediately commenced writing just months after Rise hit shelves.
Whether it's the snapping crunch of "Burn it Down" or the skittering crash and burn on "Out of Hell," the record exudes a propulsive energy that can speak to both sides of the band's audience, whether they're sharing a bill with Disturbed or Lecrae. "It's been an amazing journey," John leaves off. "The fans, the Panheads, means everything to us. They're the reason we're here. They make our shows what they are. We wanted to give that energy back to them in UNLEASHED."
Ultimately, this is Skillet at their most potent, pure, and powerful.
