Skillet is the self-titled debut release from the Christian rock band Skillet. Released in 1996 as an enhanced CD and audio cassette from ForeFront Records and Ardent Records, it showcases Christian lyrics with a grunge rock sound. Skillet was, at the time, a three-piece band composed of John Cooper on vocals, bass and piano, Trey McClurkin on drums and back-up vocals and Ken Steorts on guitar, back-up vocals and the guitar synth.
Also a new video has been made for the song "Splinter"
Skillet's self-titled album was the only album of theirs that they made multiple music videos for until Comatose had four. Every album in between had just one, except for Ardent Worship, which had none.
The "I Can" is a basic video, and shows the band playing on a stage along with various shots of the crowd worshipping God. The video was clearly shot during an actual live show, as it adds a part on the end of the song where John Cooper witnesses to the crowd, and adds an extra portion of the band playing.
The "Gasoline" also shows the band playing on a stage, though it is not known if this was during an actual show or if it was simply for the video shoot. It also features scenes of John crawling around in an outside scene, meant to be crying out for God.
The "Saturn" video features the band wandering around a large telescope and laboratory, as well as playing on a rooftop.
