Skillet have released a new track called ‘Scream’ ahead of their fall tour!
Skillet released their breakthrough record Comatose in 2006 and announced a tour earlier this summer to celebrate that milestone. The ‘Comatose: 20 Years Still Screaming’ tour will take off on September 30th and make a stop in Milwaukee on October 17th at the Landmark Credit Union Live. Singer John Cooper was asked about the album and what the band was feeling when it was released back in ’06.
“When we released our 2006 album, Comatose, we all had a feeling that we were making something special. What we didn’t know is that the album would change the trajectory of the band’s career. It defined our sound, our message, and propelled the band into a much bigger level of notoriety. But most importantly, it resonated with all kinds of people from all walks of life. At every show, someone tells me that this record helped them through the darkest times of their life.”
He also says this about celebrating the album, something they have never done with any other releases.
“That is why we wanted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Comatose by doing something we have never done — commemorating the album by dedicating a large portion of the show to these songs that are so meaningful to the band and so many others. Some of them we have played a thousand times. Others we have never played. We are excited to perform them alongside our catalog on this once in a lifetime tour.”
You can get your tickets here for the date in Milwaukee.
