Are You Ready to Rise?

Wednesday June 19, 2013

Skillet - RiseI don't know about you, but I am counting down the days to the June 25th release of Skillet's new album, Rise. I have listened to it so many times now that I can already sing along with all 12 songs and my youngest daughter and I are already bumping heads over which is the "best" track (she says "Circus For A Psycho" while I am blown away by "Not Gonna Die"). After her first listen, my older daughter immediately started looking up their tour schedule. She announced that we needed to start planning a family trip to follow them through Europe this winter when they tour with Nickelback. (For the record, she still says that their Atlanta show on the Awake and Alive Tour was the best concert she has ever been to!)

To help you get ready to Rise, I had to share a great video on Vimeo that is all about the band and the new album. Enjoy!
