Skillet, I Must Confess That I Feel Like a Monster

Skillet - Monster With every record Skillet seems to grow by leaps and bounds.

You may be familiar with the hard hitting Collide album and hopefully you know about their phenomenal 2006 release, Comatose. Well they’ve been hard at work and the follow up to Comatose, aptly titled Awake is set to be release on August 25, 2009. (available for preorder now at skillet.com)

It will be extremely difficult to write a record as good as Comatose, but if the first couple tracks are any indication, they’re up to the challenge.

If you’ve been lucky enough to catch them on their current tour you have been privileged to a sneak peek of the record. They’ve been playing Hero, featuring their uber-talented drummer Jen Ledger on backing vocals, and the first single off the record, Monster, which is set on hit radio in 2 weeks.

If you haven’t caught a show on this tour, what are you waiting for?!? They put on shows that you won’t soon forget, with enough energy and intensity to leave you sore for days. So if they’re in your town soon make sure you get out there. You won’t be disappointed.

For those of you who don’t have a tour date coming up, I’ve got you covered. Check out the live video of the upcoming single Monster before it hits radio.

Skillet – Monster Lyrics

The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged, but I can’t control it

So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can’t hold it

It’s scratching at the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can’t control it

I hide under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won’t somebody come and save me from this? Make it end
