Early years (1996–2002)

Skillet was founded in 1996 with two members, John Cooper, former guitarist for Tennessee's progressive rock band Seraph, and Ken Steorts, former guitarist for Urgent Cry. The two bands met while touring together, but they disbanded soon after, so John and Ken's pastor encouraged them to form their own band as a side project. They decided to call the experiment "Skillet." Trey McClurkin joined the band as a temporary drummer afterward. Skillet was only together for a month when the major Christian record label ForeFront Records expressed a lot of curiosity. They first appeared on their demo album Right Upside Your Head in 1996. Skillet, a self-titled debut, was launched on October 29 of the same year. It was well received, and the trio continued to produce fresh content as they toured the United States.

Cooper has said that the band's name was intended to be amusing because the other founding members of other bands had already been in other bands, each with a different sound and style. Covenant Community Church in Memphis, where the band was formed as a worship band activity, had to give them their name because they were like "outhern cooking," where you simply toss a bunch of random things into a big ol' skillet and see what it looks like."

Skillet's latest album, titled Hey You, I Love Your Soul, was released in April 1998. The band's second attempt was a change in style from the band's first outing. Skillet's post-grunge attempt for a lighter alternative rock and style was discarded with this release. Korey Cooper's wife was enlisted shortly after to perform keyboards live in order to reduce his workload.

Invincible, Steorts, his family and debuting Visible Music College were stranded just before the band began recording for their third album, and Kevin Haaland joined the band as their new guitarist. Korey Cooper joined the band permanently and performed keyboards on Invincible's album. The musical style on Invincible changed to a more modern sound as a result of the change. Trey McClurkin left Skillet shortly after Invincible's debut in early 2000, and Lori Peters filled the drummer's role.

Ardent Worship, the band's first worship album and fourth album together, was released in late 2000. On their new album Alien Youth, the band incorporated much of Invincible's sound. Skillet launched Alien Youth on August 28, 2001, the first album on which John Cooper took on production duties with little time between touring and recording. Haaland left the band before Alien Youth's debut, and Ben Kasica took over on guitar.

Ardent Records' Collide, the band's fifth studio album, was released in 2003, and it contained the singles "Savior" and "Collide." Lava Records, an imprint of Atlantic Records, purchased Collide's rights in 2004. Collide was re-released by Lava Records on May 25, 2004, with "Open Wounds" as an additional track. In 2005, the album was nominated for "Best Rock Gospel Album."

Citing P.O.D. Cooper said, "Well, I'm one of these song writers, and everything I hear goes through my John Cooper filter of what I like and what I don't like." [...] All of these activities [...] have a determining influence on me."

On October 3, 2006, Skillet's album Comatose was released. "Rebirthing," "Whispers in the Dark," "The Elder I Get," "The Last Night" and "Better Than Drugs" are among the singles included in the book. The album debuted at No. 1.
