Two-time Grammy®-nominated rock band Skillet present their highly anticipated 2013 album Rise. Rise follows the band"s 2009 blockbuster, Awake, which was certified platinum. The band maintains momentum with Rise, a gripping coming-of-age narrative that stands as their first concept album - though lead singer/bassist John Cooper says it wasn"t premeditated. The album tells the story of a typical American teen coming into adulthood and trying to figure out who he is in a world riddled with problems both within and outside his control.
