Since forming in 1996, Skillet have released 8 albums, all of which have been met with great excitement, they have spanned across many styles and genres; using orchestration, male and female vocals and piano in contrast with hard hitting riffs. This chameleon-like musical ability has made an army of fans and has allowed them to tour with the likes of Flyleaf, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace and many more.
Having started as a side project for the members, they jokingly named the band Skillet in reference to their different styles all being put together to create something unique. But now it is obvious that the band is serious, with the melodies and lyrics showing their opinions on life and its difficulties, frontman John Cooper stated "the songs will let you know you're not alone". With songs such as "Don't Wake Me", "Monster", and "One Day Too late", one can see that through the variety of musical styles and experimentation, their lyrics have the same theme tying them all together.
Skillet have reached new heights with Awake and their loyal Panheads is growing at an unbelievable rate.
