Rock veterans Skillet have announced the details of their upcoming album, Dominion, and revealed the music video for their single, “Surviving the Game.” Vocalist and bassist John Cooper hosted a Q&A session after the video’s release, where he described the band’s new material as a “defiant” response to a fear-based culture.
Cooper shares more about the track:
“[The song is] a defiant song about not giving in to the fear that the world is and has been experiencing. This song brings a feeling of survival; you have to do what you need to do in order to get your life back; a defiance against fear and the things that want to hold you down. For so many, that’s depression, isolation, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, etc. This song is about becoming the person you are meant be and coming out on the other side of all the madness.”
“Dominion is about the celebration of freedom, a liberation from fear — to be who we want to be, say what we want to say, believe what we want to believe. In some ways, it’s a reminder of the God-given rights that we were born with. It’s time to regain some sort of control over our lives and not be a slave to fear,” he continued, commenting on the upcoming full length. “I hope this record is going to make people feel empowered, inspired, uplifted, and want to rock their faces off!”
Skillet’s new record will be available January 14, and is now available for pre-order.
