New Skillet album with producer Howard Benson taking shape

HITMAKING rock band Skillet are currently in the studio in Los Angeles with producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Motorhead) putting the finishing touches on their highly anticipated new album. Their last album 'Awake' has been certified platinum (sales in excess of one million copies). Speaking about their as yet untitled album singer/bassist John Cooper said, "Musically, this record feels like a roller coaster ride. Several tracks are aggressive with dirtier and edgier guitars. Korey's keyboards are extremely unique and Jen's great vocals are showcased throughout the album. There are some powerful anthems and what our fans tend to love, the 'signature Skillet' songs: symphonic, classical rock duets."
