For most people, if they hear the phrase "Christian music" used in any form of positive sentence, they proceed to, firstly, ask if you're joking before regarding you as if you are a particularly obese slug with acne and halitosis. I have been one of those people... So you can imagine the horror of my friends and family when I revealed my passion for a certain band by the name of Skillet. If you research them, all the signs pointing to their religious beliefs are there: Met at a Christian communion, signed to a christian record label, tour with bands with names like "Disciple". It's all there. Despite this, their music is more suited to a Call Of Duty montage rather than a Sunday congregation with a unique and well-mastered sound. Hallelujah!
They have a deeply classical sound similar to that of Mozart or Bach; deeply violin based with touches of Beethoven... Or that is what you might think after listening to the opening 10 seconds of Comatose, before the heavy bass and aggressive guitar kick in. The single is fantastic and I could listen to it over and over again, each time liking it even more. The vocals of John Cooper are gruff yet perfectly in tune and harmonize well with drummer, Jen Ledger and lead guitarist Seth Morrison making this song a must-buy for modern rock lovers. Here's the single Comatose. Until next time. Amen
Just a side note, If you are a football follower read my new blog "More than Just a Game". Different style of writing, more narrative.
