The lead singer of the rock band Skillet says he wants the group's music to give hope to an angst-filled younger generation that is bombarded daily with unbiblical messages and desperately needs the "hope we found in Christ."

Frontman John Cooper and his bandmates on Nov. 1 will release their next album, Revolution, a 10-track high-octane project that includes counter-cultural messages that have defined the group's music. The single Unpopular encourages fans to oppose the world's insanity. The title track, Revolution, bemoans the world's hopelessness but declares: "I believe that there's time to save us." Another track, Not Afraid, urges fans to "keep the faith" and "never back down."

The album, Cooper said, is calling for a revolution "against the sadness, depression, angst, demonic stuff that we are experiencing in our culture every day."
