Skillet - "Ash In The Wind [Live]" Review

Hey Panheads! Listen up! Skillet just dropped a new single, a live version of “Ash in the Wind.”  And guess what? They also released a live video of the track to Vevo/YouTube!  The live video was filmed during their recent Winter Jam tour, which wrapped up just over a month ago.

The original version of “Ash in the Wind” was released on October 18, 2024.  It's the third single from their latest album, “Revolution,” and it delivers the powerful vocals, heavy riffs, and thunderous drumming Skillet fans crave.  The song reminds us that we all deal with overbearing forces and bestows powerful inspiration to regain control and break free.

The video track is absolutely incredible!  The videographer did an amazing job capturing the crowd’s infectious energy.  Every member of Skillet is captured through a variety of sick camera angles and pan shots.  It’s one of the best live videos I’ve seen and you do really feel like you’re a part of the show.  The live version is a little over a minute shorter than the album version, which featured Jen’s outro.  While the live version ends at a logical point, I hope they throw Jen’s outro back into the mix.  This song, and video, are 10 out of 10 even if they don’t.   

Skillet will be out on the road soon for their Revolution Tour 2025.  They’re one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen, so you don’t want to miss them!  Please catch them on one of the following upcoming tour dates:
