REVOLUTION, the new album by 22x platinum, GRAMMY-nominated rock band SKILLET, is finally here, and has critics raving, calling it a “hard-rocking freight train,” “fantastic” and “exactly what fans want.” Available digitally across all DSP’s today, and physically at Walmart and Best Buy, the band also released a lyric video for their fourth focus track from the project, titled “Not Afraid.” Watch it here.
Two weeks ago, the band released the focus track, “Ash In The Wind,” which received a very warm welcome, debuting at No. 1 on the iTunes All-Songs chart, even ahead of Morgan Wallen’s new track. Listen and watch the stunning visualizer video here.

SKILLET’S first-ever tour of the Middle East is about to kick-off next week and will see the band playing SOLD OUT shows in Istanbul, Turkey, Athens, Greece, and Tbilisi, Georgia, which moved to a larger venue after selling out the first venue.
Also announced recently, SKILLET will be the headline act for WINTER JAM 2025, hitting 38 cities across the U.S. All dates are posted here.
REVOLUTION‘s first single, “Unpopular,” premiered on SIRIUS XM’s OCTANE channel and is headed Top 20 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart with over 40 stations added. The song has received over 5M streams, and almost 2M views of its music video.
Another focus track, “All That Matters,” resonated loudly with military families and saw them support VET TIX by donating concert tickets with preorders of the new album.
REVOLUTION is expected to only extend Skillet’s formidable legacy. As of 2024, the band have received two GRAMMY® Award nominations, picked up a Billboard Music Award, and landed three albums in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. Selling over 22 million units worldwide with over 24 billion global streams to date, SKILLET have notched multi-platinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for a total of 12 singles and four full-length albums. Their latest RIAA Gold certifications just hit this summer with the tracks “Legendary” and “Stars.” Not to mention, they have regularly attracted over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, boasting “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time,” with the 5x-platinum “Monster.”
