Two-time Grammy®-nominated rock band Skillet present their highly anticipated 2013 album Rise . Rise follows the band's 2009 blockbuster, Awake , which was certified platinum.

The band maintains momentum with Rise , a gripping coming-of-age narrative that stands as their first concept album - though lead singer/bassist John Cooper says it wasn't premeditated. The album tells the story of a typical American teen coming into adulthood and trying to figure out who he is in a world riddled with problems both within and outside his control.
