The band, consisting of the married couple John and Korey Cooper, lead vocals, bass, and rhythm guitar, keys, and backing vocals respectively, have sold well over 2million albums in the US. Their other band members, Seth Morrison and Jen Ledger fill in the sound with drums, vocals, and lead guitar. With eight studio albums under their belt, the band have been nominated for several awards, including Grammy nominations, and their album Awake placed at number 2 on the Billboard 200 as it entered the chart, and their album Comatose was certified Gold.
Although the band have been through several line up changes, they have remained consistent and haven’t slowed their intense touring schedule. Band members Cooper and Sterots who formed the original line up met through tours with their own bands and began collaborating before forming the first generation of Skillet. Over the years, throughout the changes, the bands sound has developed and evolved, but maintains their original undertones, never straying from their Christian rock vibe and message.
The crossover of Christian music and rock makes the sound accessible to the masses, and has gained the band much credibility and critical acclaim over the years. As well as headlining their own tours, the band have toured alongside other artists such as Three Days Grace and Seether.
Ever been to a Skillet concert?
I have!!!! Last year at Soulfest 2013 the last night my friend Kim and I went and I have to say I loved it and enjoyed their energy. Playing under the stars in Gilford New Hampshire they were on fire. There were 10,000 screaming people there, people even brought skillets!!!!! They have excellent pyro they set off during their songs but that is not all, they reach people who believe in God and who might be struggling with their belief. Some of the songs they sang off their new album called Rise were American Noise, and Sick of it. American Noise was my favorite song because they set off fireworks over the stage. Some of the other songs they played were awake and alive and rebirthing which they also used pyro for, but their main focus isn't about setting off pyro every night or how good it looks, it is about God and reaching people of all ages. Skillet has eight albums out, two of them receiving Grammy nominations. They were formed in Memphis Tennessee. If you have not been to a Skillet concert then I recommend you go to one and enjoy the show! I did.
