After nearly 30 years of fire-starting rock anthems, Skillet are back and better than ever with Revolution. Their twelfth full-length is a clear evolution for the band, one that shouts louder, hits harder, and rebels unapologetically against hard rock norms. With a legacy of 22 million records sold, a fanbase spread across the globe, and one of the most-streamed rock songs in history, the 5x-platinum “Monster,” Revolution feels like a fitting statement for the moment.

On Revolution, John Cooper (vocals, bass), Korey Cooper (guitar, keys), Jen Ledger (drums, vocals), and Seth Morrison (guitar) hold nothing back, playing like a young band still trying to prove themselves, and proving that a fire still burns inside them. With its ten insurgent, addictive tracks that feature everything from cinematic strings, adrenaline-pumping riffs, and arena-ready choruses, the album leans into the raw power that has long defined their sound.

The album's opener, “Show Time,” sets the stage with some explosive swagger. It's bold, unafraid, and declares that Skillet still has plenty to scream about. Lead single “Unpopular” is a tongue-in-cheek anthem, embracing the rebellious spirit with a hard-hitting riff and catchy hooks that forces fans to shout along. Then there’s “Ash In The Wind,” a song that balances unpredictability with undeniable punch, highlighting Skillet's range while staying rooted in what they do best. While they may be known for relentless energy, they balance it with tenderness in songs like “Happy Wedding Day (Alex’s Song),” a ballad overflowing with emotion and depth. By the time the album reaches “Not Afraid,” it’s clear Skillet is rallying for more than just a new sound, they’re continuing to build a movement.

With nearly 10 million monthly listens on Spotify and sync deals from WWE to Marvel, Skillet continue to leave their mark on pop culture. Now, Revolution brings them full circle: reignited, re-energized, and on a mission to inspire the next wave of rock rebellion.
