For the sake of those who are not Panheads (the affectionate term given to their ardent fans), it may be proper to say a word by way of introducing the quartet. It is in fact going to overshadow their previous album "Awake." And that's a tall order "Awake" is one of just three rock albums to be certified platinum in 2012, forming an improbable triumvirate with the Black Keys' "El Camino" and Mumford & Sons' "Babel." In this day and age of illegal downloads and piracy, for a Christian rock album to sell in the 7 digit range is simply remarkable. "Rise" is unlike any of their eight other albums. Skillet has up the ante as far as creativity is concerned. Almost sounding like an oxymoron, a rock opera like a traditional opera is a musical that moves along an unfolding narrative plotline except that the music here consists of elegant electronics, heavy metallic rock, soaring skyscraper ballads and a touch of theatrical symphonic.
