Though Awake rarely strays beyond the boundaries set by Comatose, it stands on its own for its muscular attack and underlying passion. Overall, this album occupies a niche somewhere between Red and Evanescence, counter-pointing expressions of faith with boy/girl angst. The ballad “Lucy” closes on a melancholy note. On the earthly plane, love’s rough patches are exposed in the stinging “One Day Too Late,” the snarling “Should’ve When You Could’ve,” and the regretful “Don’t Wake Me.” Though many of the tunes here are decidedly dark, “Awake and Alive” offers a God-centered battle cry as stirring as any Skillet has recorded. The album was released August 25, 2009, by Lava Records, Ardent Records and Atlantic Records and debuted at No. It is the follow-up to their Grammy -nominated album Comatose. Cooper’s throat-searing vocals drive home the desperation within “Forgiven,” “Monster,” and “Hero” (the latter featuring some equally urgent singing by drummer Jen Ledge). Awake (Skillet album) Awake is the seventh studio album by American Christian rock band Skillet. 'Hero', the first single was released via on May 19, 2009. The album will contain 12 tracks, including 'Hero' and 'Monster' which were added to their live set during their Comatose Tour 2009. Singer/bassist John Cooper leads his comrades through a set of ballad-heavy tracks filled with spiritual conflict and romantic anguish. Skillets eighth studio album, Awake, recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson, is set for an Augrelease. On Awake, Skillet follows up the success of 2006’s Comatose with a similar blast of melodramatic pop/rock from a Christian perspective.
