Info for Unleashed

Drei Jahre sind seit dem letzten Album 'Rise' von Skillet vergangenen, nun können sich die Fans auf ein neues Album des Rock-Quartetts aus Wisconsin freuen: 'Unleashed' erscheint am 5. August.

Vom bombastischen Eröffnungsriff von 'Feel Invincible' bis hin zum einprägsamen Albumfinale 'The Resistance' stellt die Band unmissverständlich klar, dass sie auf diesem Album die Musik für sich sprechen lässt. Zugleich legen Skillet jedoch auch ihre bisher persönlichste und offenherzigste Songsammlung vor. 'Ich wollte ein Album machen, mit dem die Leute die Musik fühlen können', kommentiert Frontmann John Cooper. 'Es ist grundsätzlich mein Ziel, Songs zu schreiben, mit denen die Leute sich identifizieren können. Diesmal sollte diese Verbindung jedoch nicht nur über die Songtexte hergestellt werden, sondern auch musikalisch'.

Die Band, bestehend aus dem Ehepaar John (Leadgesang, Bass) und Korey Cooper (Rhythmusgitarre, Keyboards, Programming, Hintergrundgesang), Seth Morrison (Leadgitarre) und Jen Ledger (Drums, Gesang), tat sich mit Brian Howes (Daughtry, Halestorm, Nickelback) sowie Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch), Neal Avron (Twenty One Pilots, Walk The Moon, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park) und Seth Mosley (Newsboys, TobyMac) zusammen, um 'Unleashed' zu erschaffen.

Since Skillet last hit the studio for 2006’s breakthrough project Comatose, the group’s toured with the likes of Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Seether and Flyleaf, followed by a solo headlining ranking within Pollstar’s Concert Pulse Top 50 Tours for 2008. Along the way, the Grammy-nominated alternative outfit also scored three top 40 singles on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock charts, earned a pair of BMI Songwriting Awards and released its first ever concert CD/DVD combo pack in support of the season called Comatose Comes Alive.

Aside from the commercial accolades, the Grammy-nominated modern rockers are rapidly approaching gold sales status, backed by both public adoration and critical praise, making the brand new Awake (Atlantic) the band’s most anticipated album to date. Not only does Skillet continue in the tradition of bone crunching rockers and melodic power ballads that comprised the last trip to the studio, but there’s a noticeable evolution sure to connect with longtime listeners and open the floodgates of its fan base even further than ever before.

“We found Comatose scoring the most acceptance in terms of album sales, ticket sales and radio airplay out of any of our albums so far, so there’s certainly a continuation of that direction,” unveils singer/songwriter/bassist John Cooper of the current collection. “But we never want to make the same record twice and that’s why Awake keeps it fresh and surprising. We’ve built off several of the epic elements, orchestration, piano parts and male/female vocal trade offs on several songs, but there’s also a balance of straight up rock stuff and tunes that are a little bit stripped down in comparison.”

In addition to the increasingly cohesive chemistry by the famed front man, keyboardist/vocalist Korey Cooper, guitarist Ben Kasica and drummer/vocalist Jen Ledger, having all-star producer Howard Benson (Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, P.O.D., The All American Rejects, Hoobastank) behind the boards helped the band reach its most compelling conclusion to date.
