Skillet is not quite as popular as
some other Christian pop/rock groups like dc Talk or Audio Adrenaline or Newsboys
but personally I think they should be. They released their first album back in 1996
entitled "Skillet". The band then, however is not the band now. They started off
with three member band of John L. Cooper, Ken Steorts and Trey McClurkin. John L. Cooper's
wife, Korey Cooper, then joined the band just before the release of their second album
"Hey You I Love Your Soul". They the lost their guitarist, Ken Steorts, between
then and their third release and a new guitarist, Kevin Haaland, joined the band. It
didn't stop there though. Trey McClurkin left the band just after their third album
"Invincible" was released and a new female drummer, Lori Peters, joined the
band. It didn't stop there, Kevin Haaland then left the band and they got another
guitarist in Ben Kasica. They haven't had any changes since then, so the current band is
John L. Cooper - lead vocals, bass, and band leader, Korey Cooper - vocals, keyboards,
Lori Peters - drums, Ben Kasica - guitars. There new album is called Alien Youth which is
said, by them, to be their heaviest album to date. It has done well so far on several
charts including the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Below is a list of some of their albums
which you could purchase from Amazon.com as
well as links to lyrics for some of their songs. Some links don't work as yet, in time
they should.
