Founded in the distant year 1996, the Christian rock band Skillet has undergone numerous line-up formations in the 17 years of its existence. Only one of them always stood like an immovable rock in the surf: band founder John Cooper, who was responsible for lead vocals and bass on all eight of the band's studio albums to date. Especially in their US homeland, the band from Memphis, Tennessee continuously expanded their audience and has doubled their album sales since their 2000 Invincible with each subsequent release. Preliminary highlight: Awake from 2009, which has not only reached platinum, but also hit #2 in the US billboard charts at its release. With their catchy, anthemic alternative rock, Skillet will score exactly the notch that successful colleagues such as 3 Doors Down, P.O.D., Nickelback or Linkin Park have beaten or still beat. Unwilling to stand still or rest on their laurels, the band — John Cooper, guitarist and keyboard player Korey Cooper (John's wife), drummer and duet partner Jen Ledger, and lead guitarist Seth Morrison, who makes his album debut for Skillet here — continues to explore new territory on RISE, designed by Howard Benson was produced expertly, who had previously been responsible for the mega success AWAKE. Eager to face new challenges, Cooper plunged into collaborative songwriting more than ever before: he co-wrote the uplifting theme song and the twisting first single, “Sick Of It”, together with Scott Stevens, founder and leader of the Los Exies. strongest song that Skillet ever recorded, teameth together with Nashville songsmiths Tom Douglas and Zac Maloy. In “American Noise” and the cheerful “Good To Be Alive”, the band explores new territory by integrating elements of heartland rock into their aggressive, theatrical approach. Skillet has expanded their musical range, adding natural acoustic instruments such as accordion, mandolin, dulcimer, harp, kettle timpani and bells to their trademark sound of slashing electric guitars, strings, stirred synths and beating drums. Not only are these songs themselves that make Rise so captivating, it's also the song sequence: the almost unbearable tension of “Sick Of It” is suddenly ecstatically resolved as a radical contrast in “Good To Be Alive”; the final song triple “My Religion,” “Hard To Find” and “What I Do” builds into an immersive song. musical, thematic and emotional crescendo. These songs and the album as a whole are clearly equipped with a passionate, all-encompassing message, a message that flows through the entire work of Skillet like a make of tides, but is artistically interwoven into an exciting coming-of-age narrative on Rise. This spurbing work is the band's first concept album — although it was not originally planned. Review: Fantastic - Went to see Nickelback at Leeds arena and this group were the backing band, only managed to see a bit of them but what we heard they were amazing, we went to buy there cd but all their merchandise had sold out, bought this through desertcart and have never stopped playing it since. This group is a real mixture of heavy rock mixed very cleverly with classical instruments, they are fantastic Review: great album - Bought this after being impressed after seeing them supporting Nickelback well worth buying. Love the album some great tracks and some amazing ones. Hope they come back to the UK so I can see them live again. Off to look up more of their albums. Don't be scared of by the Christian rock tag this is one album worth having and a tenner very well spent.

Rise
I knew nothing about rise and bought it on a whim, and the reviews. I found they are spot on its a really well worked album that has that instant wow factor. They sound or at least the male lead singer sounds like him from Linikin Park if not he does a fine impersonation. Great album which I am sure will be listened to a lot.

The return in a strong and mighty way...
Here we have the all new album from one of the best rock band in America right now. If you have never heard them, this is a great place to start, and if you are already a big fan I can tell you that you will not be disapointed at all. A good couple of years or more since their last great album, suddenly this new one appears. While the last album had some great moments, seemed more polished and strong to begin with but it did actually then contain a few weak songs. It was a shame really but here with this album, it seems the band might have noticed that and we have here a much more well crafted overall album, generally very strong all the way, from start to finish, which is sometimes a problem with Skillet. It starts with a great big anthem, then onto first new single 'Sick of it' which is huge and catchy. After that there are many more, good tight strong tunes, still slick and catchy but almost every tune this time-and there are lots-is a very good one. Very much worth hearing this album-if you are a believer or secular, agnostic or just looking for really great big huge catchy rocking songs this is one of the best albums of 2013. For fans of Green Day, Flyleaf, Metallica, RED, Evanescence, Foo Fighters, KING'S X, and just really great uplifting rock music.

Musically occupying the same space as Nickelback and Green Day ...
Musically occupying the same space as Nickelback and Green Day, Skillet are slick, melodic and energetic. What sets them apart is their roots in Christian rock (don't leave yet!). That translates into powerful, intense lyrics that are positive, uplifting and relevant. Listening to this album is so uplifting.

Great Album. Fast, slow, upbeat or heavy. This band can do it all. I know an album is great when I don't want to skip a single song on it.

Great CD definitely recommend!
I bought this cd a couple of weeks ago and I am extremely pleased with the purchase. Have been a skillet fan for a while and was ecstatic for this new release! Definitely recommend, to both long term skillet fans and people who have just found this band :)

Fantastic album
I happened to stumble on to Skillet because I found out they will be on stage before Nickelback in Copenhagen in November. So. I got the cd - and I just can't wait to see them live! If you like Nickelback - you'll love Skillet.

Un grandissimo album
Questa deluxe si presenta davvero bene, tra cd, dvd e poster. È arrivato secondo i tempi previsti e nonostante lo abbia acquistato usato l'album era praticamente nuovo. Ringrazio il venditore che è stato eccellente.

A monster
Un monstre ! Ce nouvel album de Skillet m'a littéralement scotché ! Les précédents étaient bien mais ne sortaient pas du lot des groupes évoluant dans ce style. Avec ce Rise Skillet fait un énorme bond en avant et place la barre très haut. Très pêchu dans sa première moitié, plus cool sur la fin Rise fait mouche dans tous les domaines. Des hits à foison, une production béton, des compos de grand classe, pas un seul morceau faible, de l'émotion sur les titres cools, et du mordant sur les autres, des petites trouvailles géniales comme l'enchainement sublime de Madness in me et Salvation, et bien sur une interprétation au top; mention spéciale à John L Cooper qui assure grave ! Une claque magistrale, égale à celle du 1er Evanescence il y a déjà bien longtemps ! un des albums de l'année à coup sur !

Das Warten hat sich gelohnt!
Vier Jahre nach ihrem erfolgreichen Studioalbum "Awake" ist es nun soweit: Das neue Erfolgsalbum "Rise"! Aber kann die Band um das Ehepaar John und Korey Cooper das Niveau der letzten beiden Alben halten? Bei weitem! 01 RISE - Rise ist ein super Auftakt und Titelsong für das Album. Schnell, eingänger Refrain, super Text, Ohrwurm garantiert! 10/10 02 SICK OF IT - Und es geht genial weiter. Schnell und rockig, etwas härter und wieder mit einem coolen Text. Dieser Song hat als Single schon schön auf das Album eingestimmt. 10/10 03 GOOD TO BE ALIVE - Schon ein bisschen ruhiger, einfach ein gute Laune Lied über die Schönheit des Lebens. 08/10 04 NOT GONNA DIE - Wieder schnell mit der Skillet-typischen Härte und mit starken weiblichen Gesangparts. 10/10 05 CIRCUS FOR A PSYCHO - Sehr eingängiger Gitarrenpart. Wieder sehr schnell und rockig. 08/10 06 AMERICAN NOISE - Auch als Deutsche kann ich den Sinn der Lyrics gut verstehen. Es ist ziemlich ruhig, aber sehr eingängig mit einem starken Text 09/10 07 MADNESS IN ME - Wieder sehr rockig und schnell. Der weibliche Part hat mir ein bissche gefehlt. 07/10 08 SALVATION - Ein starker weiblicher Part in den Strophen. Wieder "etwas" ruhiger, aber super eingänger Refrain von dem ich tagelang einen Ohrwurm hatte 10/10 09 FIRE AND FURY - Es geht ruhig mit einem Duett weiter. Aber auch hier überzeugen die perfekt auf einander abgestimmten Stimmen und der schöne Text 09/10 10 MY RELIGION - Nur etwas schneller und leider etwas eintönig 06/10 11 HARD TO FIND - Schöne Melodie und sehr schöner Text 08/10 12 WHAT I BELIEVE - Wieder schneller und mit einem sehr überzeugenden weiblichen Part im Refrain. Abwechslungsreiche und eingänge Melodie und ein super Abschluss für ein so schönes Album. 09/10 Sehr schön aufgemacht ist auch das Häftchen bei der CD mit den Songtexten. Wer es sieht wird wissen, was ich meine. Rund um hat sich der Kauf nicht nur gelohnt, sondern meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Das Album bleibt solide bei jedem Song auf einem hohen Niveau und hat deutlich mehr als einen Ohrwurm zubieten. Ich mochte die vorherigen Alben sehr gerne, und dieses Album liebe ich einfach. Für mich ist es ihr Bestes (und wer die anderen kennt weiß, was das heißt) und ich kann es nicht erwarten, dass sie damit auf Tour gehen. Doch letztendlich sind meine obigen Bewertungen nur subjektiv. Deswegen empfehle ich besten Gewissens jedem der Hörproben o.Ä. mochte sich selbst ein Bild von "Rise" zumachen. In dem Sinne: Rock on!
