With one of the biggest global audiences of its career and more than five million\u00a0global streams already on its latest single “Scream<\/strong>,” multi-Platinum rock band\u00a0SKILLET<\/strong>\u00a0today announced its new independent EP,\u00a0After the Storm<\/em><\/strong>, arriving October 9, and released the project’s newest single and anime-inspired lyric video for “Lift Me Up<\/a>.”\u00a0Watch it\u00a0here<\/a>.

The six-song EP is available for\u00a0pre-save now,<\/a>\u00a0with “Lift Me Up” available everywhere today.

The announcement comes during one of the most remarkable periods of sustained momentum in Skillet’s nearly 30-year career. The band now averages more than\u00a012 million monthly Spotify listeners, while its six-times-Platinum anthem\u00a0“Monster”\u00a0has surpassed\u00a05 billion global streams and earned a place in Spotify’s\u00a0Billions Club, Earlier this year, Skillet’s European headline tour drew the largest international crowds in the band’s history, including record-breaking ticket sales at Z\u00e9nith in Paris.

Produced by\u00a0David Cowell<\/strong>\u00a0(Sleep Theory) and the band’s own Korey Cooper,\u00a0After the Storm<\/em>\u00a0marks both a return to Skillet’s heavier musical roots and one of its most personal creative statements to date. Inspired by seasons of betrayal, grief, perseverance, and ultimately hope, the EP finds frontman\u00a0John Cooper<\/strong>\u00a0writing from one of the most vulnerable places of his career. See full track listing\u00a0here<\/a>.

“After the Storm<\/em>\u00a0is special to me because it reignites what Skillet was always meant to be\u2014which is music that helps lift people out of dark times,” says Cooper. “I wrote these songs because I needed to be lifted out of my own darkness.”

The EP’s newest single, “Lift Me Up,” pairs crushing guitars with an arena-sized chorus that captures the heart of the project.

“‘Lift Me Up’ reminds me of early Skillet, but it still feels fresh,” Cooper says. “When I wrote it, so many things were dragging me down. I was asking God to lift me up. It’s a reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, there is still hope.”

\u00a0The EP follows\u00a0“Scream<\/a>,”\u00a0which has already surpassed\u00a05 million global streams\u00a0and introduced listeners to the emotional landscape of\u00a0After the Storm<\/em>. Written in response to anxiety, anger, and the search for purpose amid the constant noise of modern life, the song has quickly resonated with fans around the world.Skillet will support\u00a0After the Storm<\/em>\u00a0with a nationwide U.S. Live Nation headline tour beginning this October, following a landmark European run that delivered the biggest international audiences of the band’s career. For tour info, go\u00a0here<\/a>.With more than\u00a023 million albums sold, two GRAMMY\u00ae Award nominations, a Billboard Music Award, three Top 5 Billboard 200 debuts, and music featured by the NFL, WWE, ESPN, Marvel, and countless film and television productions, Skillet continues to expand its reach across generations.

ABOUT SKILLET<\/u>:<\/strong>
Skillet tap into the sound of surviving any adversity, dusting yourself off, and getting back up again for another round. Heavy guitars kick with the inspiration to keep going, while stadium-size hooks double as a reminder to never give up no matter what. The quartet\u2014John Cooper [lead vocals, bass], Korey Cooper [guitar, keys, production], Jen Ledger [drums, vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]\u2014have quietly, yet indisputably become one of the biggest global hard rock bands of the 21st century with total album over 23 million, an average of 12 million monthly Spotify listeners, and dozens of massive placements across sports, film, and television. Among a catalog highlighted by chart-topping albums and hits, the 6x-Platinum “Monster” has eclipsed 5 billion global streams, claimed a place in Spotify\u2019s “Billions Club<\/em>,“<\/em> resounded as “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all time<\/em>,” and the only Christian song in history to cross 1 billion Spotify streams.<\/strong> During 2025, their first-ever Christmas release “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” made a viral impact and captured #1 on five Billboard<\/em> charts. The band\u2019s 2026 European tour brought them in front of their biggest international crowds yet\u2014not only selling out shows across the continent, but breaking ticket sales records at venues like Z\u00e9nith Paris. Awarded multiplatinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for 12 singles and four full-length albums, the group have notably garnered two GRAMMY\u00ae Award nominations, earned a Billboard<\/em> Music Award, and impressively delivered three Top 5 debuts on the Billboard<\/em> 200. Widening the scope of this vision, Skillet launched the graphic novel series EDEN<\/em> with Z2. Kicking off another chapter, Skillet decided to get heavier and punch harder on their 2026 independent EP, After The Storm<\/em>, introduced by the single “Scream.”<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
