From Press Release –
Skillet announced the release of its most recent independent EP, After the Storm, a six-song collection delivering some heavy, vulnerable and hopeful music.
Skillet also announces the release of their single, ”Grave Stomper,” a hard-hitting anthem that embodies the fighting spirit at the heart of After the Storm.
The EP was inspired by seasons of betrayal, grief, anger and depression—and the perseverance, faith and hope that emerged on the other side — the EP finds the band’s Korey Cooper writing from one of the most vulnerable places of his career. Says Cooper:
”This EP is special to me,” ”It reignites what Skillet was always meant to be—which is music that helps lift people out of dark times. I wrote these songs because I needed to be lifted out of my darkness.”
At the center of today’s release is ”Grave Stomper,” an anthem that channels the heavier side of Skillet and the spirit of resilience running throughout After the Storm.
“I was being slandered, but I knew those untrue words didn’t have any power over me. You can’t live in lies very long; the truth will come out. I can stand strong on that as a ‘Grave Stomper.””
“Grave Stomper” follows previously released tracks “Scream” and ”Lift Me Up,” which first introduced the intensely personal season behind After the Storm. “Scream” has already surpassed 12 million global streams.
