Alien Youth

Alien Youth is the fourth studio album by American Christian rock band Skillet. It was released on August 28, 2001 by Ardent Records. The album explores various spiritual and philosophical issues from an evangelical perspective, covering topics such as Christian revival, existentialism, mortification, and atheism. Developing their sound into hard-hitting industrial rock, this was the first Skillet album to include guitarist Ben Kasica, replacing Kevin Haaland. Kasica joined Skillet late in the recording process for the album, only recording guitars on "Earth Invasion". It peaked at No. 141 on the Billboard 200 and No. 16 on The Australian Christian Albums Chart. The cover art of the original 2001 release features a photo of band frontman John L. Cooper, having been distorted with a crystallization effect. For the 2005 reissue artwork, a pixelation effect is used instead.
