Skillet’s “Revolution” Coming
Skillet will release their first independent album, “Revolution,“ on November 1st. The set features the single “Unpopular” and the newly released “All That Matters.”
“Revolution” is expected to only extend SKILLET‘s formidable legacy. As of 2024, the band have received two Grammy Award nominations, picked up a Billboard Music Award, and landed three albums in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. Selling over 22 million units worldwide with over 24 billion global streams to date, SKILLET have notched multi-platinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for a total of 12 singles and four full-length albums. Their latest RIAA gold certifications just hit this summer with the tracks “Legendary” and “Stars”. Not to mention, they have regularly attracted 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, boasting “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with the five-times-platinum “Monster”.
“We made records on the same label for 20 years, and it was a great experience,” says SKILLET frontman John Cooper. “Since this was the first independent record, it put some pep in my step, so to speak. We did exactly what we wanted to do. If I was on the road and felt inspired to write, I just did. In the past, we’d make a bunch of ideas and whittle everything down for the album. This time, we only wrote and recorded 10 tracks, but it was all we needed. Musically, there are a lot of flavors on the record. It’s got the arena songs, but it also has some tunes that are more nostalgic and throwback SKILLET.”
