Skillet To Release New Album In January
Multi-platinum rockers, Skillet, announced today that their new studio album, "Dominion" (Atlantic), will be released on January 14, 2022. Their 11th studio project, it follows Skillet's amazing track record of two RIAA certified multi-platinum albums, two Gold Albums, five RIAA certified multi-platinum singles, and four gold singles.
Simultaneously unveiling the project's stunning cover art and tracklisting (see below), "Dominion's" first Active Rock radio single, "Surviving The Game", is available now as an instant grat with album pre-order.
The album, produced by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Papa Roach, Disturbed) with songs written by John Cooper, Korey Cooper, Kevin Churko and Kane Churko, was created 100% remotely between the band's tour dates, home studio in Wisconsin, and the Churko's studio in Las Vegas.
"Dominion is about the celebration of freedom, a liberation from fear - to be who we want to be, say what we want to say, believe what we want to believe," Cooper says. "In some ways it’s a reminder of the God-given rights that we were born with. It’s time to regain some sort of control over our lives and not be a slave to fear. I hope this record is going to make people feel empowered, inspired, uplifted and want to rock their faces off!" More...
