Comatose by Skillet

Comatose, the sixth album from Memphis Christian rockers Skillet, came out on October 3, 2006, through Lava, Ardent and Atlantic. Like Collide before it, it shoves the keyboards to the back in favor of distorted guitars, but this time the band adds strings and orchestral sweep to the crunch, and the combination sounds enormous.

Husband and wife John Cooper and Korey Cooper lead the charge, John on lead vocals and bass, Korey on guitar and keyboards, with Ben Kasica in the lineup and Lori Peters on drums for her last album with the band. "Whispers in the Dark" became one of their platinum songs. The album earned a nomination for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album at the 50th Grammys, went gold in 2009, their first record to get there, and passed 1,000,000 copies by 2016. A deluxe edition followed in 2007 and a live DVD from the tour in 2008.
