Skillet is a band from Memphis, Tennessee. They are not new in the business, they've been around and it shows in this song.
Right from the start, this is one of those songs that couldn't start any better. That 'in your face' sound on the guitar that is made bigger by a second track playing on the other side. Schoolbook multiple guitar tracking, executed perfectly, the drum kick is spot on. Korey Cooper's voice has just the right amount of growl and there's a nice touch of high pitched guitars in the chorus.
The bridge is short but effective, plagal cadences never grow old. I'm not crazy about the weird, burpy effect they used on the break, but it it creates enough tension, which is the whole point anyway. Be sure to check their album Awake.
