Skillet greatest hits

Skillet is an American Christian rock band who has been performing together for over fifteen years. They have released eight albums and received two Grammy nominations for the collide and comatose albums. The band formed in 1996 and were together for one month before christian record label Fore Front records expressed interest in the band. Their unique name "Skillet" was decided upon because each band member was already part of a band and decided to start a side project. Having come from different bands they all had different sounds and styles. The side project was said to be like putting all of the sounds and styles into a skillet and the rest is history.

The band consist of John cooper and his wife Korey Cooper, Ben Kasica and Jen Ledger. The Awake album has been rated as #2 on the billboards and has been certified gold with sales in excess of 500,000. Various tracks from the album has received major T.V. placement including N.B.C. Sunday night football and more. The album includes the two blockbuster hits "Monster" and "Hero" which continues as hard rock fan favorites. The band has just released their latest single at christian radio "Forgiven".

Skillet has many albums to it's credit such as comatose, collide, skillet, invincible, ardent worship and more. Their style of music is diverse and intense, due to their passion and purpose for Jesus and hard core worship. The ideas for song writing come largely from scriptures, books, prayer and life. Skillet has released eight best selling albums toured with some of the best names in music and is one of the few christian bands that has successfully transitioned to mainstream music.

It had been nearly three years between the release of collide and comatose. With the release of the smash hit comatose they once again pushed their creative boundaries musically and lyrically. The single from the album "yours to hold" is encouraging a friend that their not alone in their struggles and "a whisper in the dark" is god's perspective. For those who enjoyed the more raw rock styling of their previous album, may be in for a surprise with the comatose album.

Skillet has given us many great hits over the past fifteen years and will continue to bring good worship albums for years to come. They are constantly on tour bringing other christian worship bands to our attention. Skillet hopes that their music will bring meaning and strike a chord on all levels with listeners from all walks of life. Skillet has found a way to incorporate their love for music and Christ and through their lyrics, continue to deliver powerful performances and messages to everyone, regardless of their spiritual denomination.
