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.

The project follows Skillet’s 2004 Lava/Atlantic debut Collide, which launched the group into the mainstream with the single “Savior,” and garnered the quartet a prestigious nomination at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards in the “Best Rock Gospel Album” category. Collide went on to become their best-selling project to date, with over 200,000 units sold, while the band played some 200 dates a year – including tours with the likes of Three Days Grace, Saliva, Shinedown, and 12 Stones – in the process becoming one of the hardest working, heaviest rocking, boldly witnessing, and most broadly appealing acts of its generation.
