Skillet, a Christian industrial/rock band, was ironically formed in Memphis, Tennessee in 1996. They remained on the underground for 10 years, until they had a break through with 'Comatose' in 2006. Their music began as very gospel oriented in sound, but with 'Collide' (2003) they fully embraced the sound of rock, leaving their lyrics to spread their beliefs. Since then they have won several prestigious awards for their newest album 'Awake and Alive' (2009).
Skillet is one of the few Christian bands to break into and become popular on the secular scene. That alone should be a testament to their talent. They have toured with Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, and various Christian bands, like Flyleaf and Thousand Foot Crutch. Last August 'Awake and Alive' was released at the Harvest Crusades at Angel Stadium and sold at discount price. I would know, I was there when they performed this song as a preview.
If you enjoyed this song, I would recommend 'Whispers in the Dark,' 'Comatose,' 'Collide,' and their currently most popular song 'Monster'.
