Godsmack Information
|
|
'Godsmack' are a hard rock band. The band is critically acclaimed for having a very direct effect on their fan base.
In 2002, Godsmack received a Grammy nomination in "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" for the song "Vampires" from the album Awake. In 2004, they were opening for Metallica, while headlining with Dropbox in the summer. Then they did acoustic shows for their newly released album The Other Side in the fall of 2004, while still opening for Metallica. In September 2004, Godsmack issued a live DVD titled "Changes," which the band recorded earlier that year. That same month, the group also released "Batalla de los Tambores," a live cut available only via online services such as Apple's iTunes Music Store, Real and Napster. They are currently in the studio working on their next album due out in 2006.
Godsmack is often categorized as Nu-metal, but most fans insist otherwise, citing such traditional metal/hard rock sounds as Lead singer Sully Erna's voice and the inclusion of guitar solos and no rapping or mixing.
