Pre-Order: Skillet - After The Storm [CD]

SKILLET tap into the sound of surviving any adversity, dusting yourself off, and getting back up again for another round. Heavy guitars kick with the inspiration to keep going, while stadium-size hooks double as a reminder to never give up no matter what. The quartet-John Cooper [lead vocals, bass], Korey Cooper [guitar, keys, production], Jen Ledger [drums, vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]-have quietly, yet indisputably become one of the biggest global hard rock bands of the 21st century with total album sales just shy of 22 million, an average of 12 million monthly Spotify listeners, and dozens of massive placements across sports, film, and television. However, SKILLET decided to get heavier and punch harder on their 2026 independent EP, After The Storm.""This EP is special to me,"" observes John. ""It reignites what SKILLET was always meant to be-which is music that helps lift people out of dark times. I wrote these songs because I needed to be lifted out of my darkness."" ""For me, rock music was always so I could face life the next day without feeling so alone,"" John leaves off. ""This EP may be a little more meaningful because we haven't dealt with such dark issues in a long time. I want Skillet's music to be a reminder you can make it.""
