Atlantic/Ardent/INO Records' active Christian music rockers Skillet will release their first project in nearly three years 'Awake' on August 25th.

Produced by Howard Benson, (Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, The All American Rejects), the project is available now for pre-order via the band's official website, www.skillet.com. A variety of packages are being offered, pairing the album with such bonuses as an exclusive Skillet t-shirt, an autographed VIP pass, and membership in Skillet's official fan club.

Speaking about the new project, lead-singer/bassist and primary songwriter John Cooper says: "This album is even more immediate than 'Comatose,' but there's also a noticeable maturity," he says. "Some of the songs are complex, others are just really intense rockers and overall there's a real sense that we're opening a new chapter. There are definitely some classic rock elements on the record, some very melodic moments with orchestration and piano, along with a lot of today's heavier rock influences as well. "
