Skillet is set to release it's 9th album, Unleashed, in August. The band has already produced and released the music video for the album's first single, "Feel Invincible", and The Sheepdog likes it ..... a whole freakin' lot.
Skillet's last record Rise just didn't do it for me. It seemed that the band got away from the lyrics and sound that made Skillet, ... well Skillet. Some of the lyrics dove into the political realm, which I didn't like, because I'd rather a band stay out of politics and stick to doing what they do best - music. In Skillet's case that means hard-driving, adrenaline fueled Christian rock and metal.
If what I see and hear in the video for "Feel Invincible" is a sample of what Unleashed has in store for the band's fans, then, Skillet is back, and they're back with plenty of volume and adrenaline. You know, the way The Sheepdog likes it.
So, check it out for yourself. The video is embedded below or you can watch it on Skillet's Youtube channel by clicking here. The only other thing I have to say is, when does the tour start??
