"I must confess that I feel like a monster!"
John Cooper, the lead singer of the band Skillet, along side him, his wife and guitar/keyboards for the band, Korey, guitarist/male backing vocals Ben Kasica and drummer/female backing vocals Jen Ledger form Skillet, the American Christian Rock group with songs such as Monster, Comatose, Hero, Rebirthing and so on.
When I first heard these guys it was from the album Comatose, with the title track that got me into these guys. I was still in high school when I heard these guys, thanks to my good friend and sudo little brother David, while I was still being a arrogant prick with pants hanging down past my butt. Come to think of it, my high school years, while they sucked, also kind of rocked because I found metal \m/. Lately, Skillet has been breaking into the mainstream rock with songs like Hero and Monster, with both songs being featured on video game WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2010 soundtrack
Skillet has also had there songs used for the WWE's live broadcast, for events such of The Royal Rumble 2010 and Hell In A Cell 2010. John, being a big WWE fan, was excited to have those two songs used as the themes for the live broadcast and have them put in the video games.
As far as the album goes, I'll give it 8/10 Volts. Reason be is because, while they have awesome songs such as the ones I've mention above, they also have some slower songs that, while the message is amazing, the structure for whatever reason bothers me. Or maybe its the fact that John, which his gruff voice, his trying to sing a Ballard....Whatever the cause may be, Skillet's Awake gets 8/10 Volts.
I'm your host, Miha.
