The Memphis, Tennessee USA, Christian rockers Skillet, initially comprised singer + bassist John Cooper, guitarist Ken Steorts and drummer Trey McClurkin. This trio drew from an eclectic blend of musical influences to serve up a helping of spicy Alternative-Rock.

In November 1996, the band released its self-titled first album and one and a half years later they returned with a sophomore release, their Ardent debut "Hey You, I Love Your Soul", which cracked the top 30 of the Billboard Contemporary Christian chart.

Enlisting the help of Cooper's wife, Korey Cooper on guitar + keyboards, the group released "Invincible" in February 2000 reaching the #13 position on the Top Contemporary Christian Albums chart.

After nearly a year Skillet emerged with a new line-up, featuring John and Korey Cooper, Ben Kasica on guitar and Lori Peters on drums; delivered in the summer of 2001 "Alien Youth" became the band's first Billboard Top 200 entry at #141; it also peaked at #4 on the Top Contemporary Christian Albums chart.

With the release of their fifth studio opus, entitled "Collide", the Tennessee foursome launched themselves into the mainstream with the single "Savior" which hit the top 30 of the Billboard's Active Rock Tracks in 2004. The CD went on to sell over 200,000 units, while the band played some 200 dates a year, including tours with the likes of Saliva, Shinedown, Finger Eleven and Three Days Grace.

October 2006 saw Skillet release "Comatose"; the disc became their most successful album to date reaching the #55 spot on The Billboard 200 spawning three Hot Mainstream Rock top 40 hits in "Whispers In The Dark", "The Older I Get" and "The Last Night".

The first single from the band's seventh studio album is titled "Hero". The album, "Awake", which marks the arrival of new drummer Jen Ledger, is expected in stores on August 25, 2009, it also includes the Mainstream Rock radio single "Monster".
