Dove Awards 2014: Skillet Wins Rock Album of the Year and Rock Song of the Year for 'Rise' and Not Gonna Die' [TOUR DATES]

Skillet

Christian rock band Skillet took home two Dove Awards, Rock Album of the Year and Rock Song of the Year, at the 45th annual GMA event.

Their album Rise won, and the single "Not Gonna Die" was what edged the band out over the competition. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard rock and Christian charts and No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The single was a No. 1 radio hit.

"Have to say it was pretty cool hearing the news about these wins," said lead singer John Cooper in a press release, "We couldn't be there since we're heading to Europe again this week, but to have this album recognized in this way is definitely an honor, and we're really thankful."
