I'm falling in the black Slipping through the cracks
Rating: 7/10
The Christian rock band known as Skillet is difficult to classify because they have such a mix of genres; it is how they decided on the name: throwing a bunch of different styles into a skillet and blending them together. When the band started in 1996 they were more grungy and as they developed more, they turned more to symphonic metal. The song "Falling in the Black" is from their sixth studio album Comatose. It is a great rock/metal track with electric guitars and drums, but also integrates the sounds of other string instruments that are more orchestral; their presence is subtle in this song, but they are there and they add to the beauty of the song. Alongside the skillful and strong vocals of John Cooper, his wife Korey Cooper and former bandmate, Lori Peters supply backing female vocals. The lyrics do not recite the over-told love story of many songs, but speak of losing a fight to darkness. This is one of their most talented songs even though it is not as well recognized as others on the album.
