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. Among a catalog highlighted by chart-topping albums and hits, the 6x-Platinum “Monster” has eclipsed 5 billion global streams, claimed a place in Spotify’s “Billions Club,” and resounded as “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all time.” During 2025, their first-ever Christmas release “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” made a viral impact and captured #1 on five Billboard charts. The band’s 2026 European tour brought them in front of their biggest international crowds yet—not only selling out shows across the continent, but breaking ticket sales records at venues like Zénith Paris. Awarded multiplatinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for 12 singles and four full-length albums, the group have notably garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations, earned a Billboard Music Award, and impressively delivered three Top 5 debuts on the Billboard 200. Widening the scope of this vision, Skillet launched the graphic novel series EDEN with Z2. Kicking off another chapter, Skillet decided to get heavier and punch harder on their 2026 single “Scream.”
