Skillet's new EP "After The Storm" is out now.
John Cooper told The Christian Post the six songs came out of an "absolutely brutal" conflict with the church that was part of his life for nearly 30 years. He said it caused him "a real depression" and "a mental break where I just didn't know what was real and what wasn't real."
"I wrote these songs because I needed to be lifted out of my own darkness," Cooper said when the band announced the EP in August. The independent release includes the singles "Scream" and "Lift Me Up," and Skillet heads out on a Live Nation headline tour of the U.S. this month.
Tracklist:
1. Scream
2. Lift Me Up
3. Grave Stomper
4. After The Storm
5. Heaven Help Us
6. Come And Find Me
