Skillet has announced a new EP called After the Storm.

The set is due out Oct. 9. It also includes the previously released single "Scream."

"After the Storm is special to me because it reignites what Skillet was always meant to be—which is music that helps lift people out of dark times," says frontman John Cooper in a statement. "I wrote these songs because I needed to be lifted out of my own darkness."

A second cut, titled "Lift Me Up," is out now.

After the Storm follows Skillet's 2024 album, Revolution.

Skillet will launch a U.S. tour in September.
