Skillet

Nearly four years since their last album, two-time GRAMMY(r)-nominated and platinum selling rock band Skillet aren't showing signs of slowing down. The new release, out today, comes as the highly anticipated follow-up to Skillet's project AWAKE. The praises for RISE are pouring in with the project being called one of the "Best Rock Albums of the Year." With a Top 5 slot on the iTunes(r) Overall Chart and the deluxe edition not far behind at No. 7, the band is also narrowing the gap on the iTunes(r) Rock chart, holding both the No. 2 and No. 3 slots.

USA Today featured the release in today's edition offering a 3 out of 4 star review and toting the headline "Skillet's 'Rise' above rock boundaries." Adding to the momentum comes Billboard's praise of the record for "mixing new sonic flavors into the group's hard-rock bombast." The flood of applause has just begun, with reviewers chiming in agreement at diverse outlets in both the mainstream and Christian world.
