Forgotten Shrine, the folk metal duo of Josh Alexander and Sofia Frasz (Exiled Hope), have unveiled a stunning cover of Skillet's "Hero".

Gig Review: Black Stone Cherry / Skillet / Ayron Jones – Hydro, Glasgow (20th November 2024)
I can't believe it's only just shy of two years since Black Stone Cherry last rolled into town, their previous visit being on an equally chilly January night in 2023.

Album Review: Skillet – Victorious
Skillet are a band that, in my opinion, have never released a bad album. With each successive release, the band somehow finds a way to continually evolve and create tracks that you'll find yourself singing at the most random times. Their previous release Unleashed piqued my interest in the band once again and since then … Continue reading Album Review: Skillet – Victorious
