Skillet has unveiled their video for “Monster,” which chronicles the rockers’ attempt to escape from a creepy hospital.

“Monster” is the first single off their August release, ‘Awake’, and is quickly climbing the rock charts.

‘Awake’ is the Grammy-nominated alternative outfit’s follow up to their 2006 breakthrough project, ‘Comatose’.

The band, John Cooper (singer/bassist), Korey Cooper (keyboardist/vocalist), Ben Kasica (guitarist), and Jen Ledger (drummer/vocalist) teamed up with all-star producer Howard Benson (Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, The All-American Rejects), to deliver an album that is sure to have plenty of anthems, smash singles, and concert sing-a-longs. “Monster,” the first single off the album, is loaded with towering riffs and unbridled rock n’ roll abandon.

The band will be on this year’s Alive & Awake Tour which will kick off in late September and run through November.
