Comatose (album)

Comatose is the sixth album by the American Christian rock band Skillet. Released on October 3, 2006, by Lava Records, Ardent Records and Atlantic Records, this album continued a similar music style set by the band's 2003 album, Collide, of downplaying the keyboard elements that were prominent in previous releases in favor of distorted guitars, and included more of an emphasis on orchestral elements. Comatose was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on November 3, 2009, their first album to do so, and has since gone Platinum, selling over 1,000,000 copies by May 20, 2016. A deluxe edition of the album was released on December 26, 2007, and a live DVD of their headlining tour in support of the record was released in fall 2008. Comatose was nominated for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards on February 10, 2008. Comatose is the last album drummer Lori Peters recorded with the band before leaving in 2008.
