How a Christian Rock Band Called Skillet is Taking Over

Skillet is one of the most successful rock bands around today, but what makes them so different from everyone else? Well with a new album coming out early August let’s take a look.


This Wisconsin based band with an odd name is not is not the typical Christian rock band with a ‘holier than thou’ attitude, but rather a fully humble group who just wants to share their message in a positive way. Skillet has sold well over 12 million albums worldwide, have been certified gold at a minimum and are well crossing over the 2 billion stream mark. Does this make them legendary? Well in an interview with USA Today, Frontman John Cooper said, "Whether you're spiritual or an atheist or anti-God, music has a supernatural quality to it, Every day on social media I see people say, 'I don't get this Jesus stuff, but your music makes me feel better.' ", John has also stated that "Sometimes the faith aspect was inadvisable from certain people in the music business," Cooper said. "Some radio stations used to say, 'It's too positive, it doesn't feel like real rock music, but people love the positivity in culture today. And they love their faith. … Our songs just exude that spirit of 'Be yourself, be proud of who you are, you can make it,' and people are connecting with that.". Skillet’s new album titled ‘Legendary’ drops August 2nd, 2019 and can be preordered today. The Panheads will love this record even though there aren't a lot of risks taken, the execution and songwriting are flawless. The album flows well and there's never a moment of filler.
