Unleashed, Skillet's ninth studio album, came out on Atlantic on August 5, 2016, from the Memphis band John Cooper started back in 1996. By now the lineup had settled: Cooper singing and playing bass, his wife Korey on rhythm guitar and keyboards, Jen Ledger pounding the drums and adding vocals of her own, and Seth Morrison on lead guitar. Brian Howes, Kevin Churko and Seth Mosley split the production, and they aim every song at the back row: arena-sized Christian rock with metal muscle, stacked choruses and just enough synth sparkle to keep it glossy.
The band announced it in May with a lyric video for "Feel Invincible" on YouTube, then another for "Stars" six days later. "Feel Invincible" went on to multi-platinum status, "The Resistance" went platinum and "Stars" gold, and a decade after release the RIAA certified the album itself platinum.
