Godsmack
All Music Guide
The Boston-based alternative metal group Godsmack originally comprised vocalist Sully Erna (a devout Wiccan), guitarist Tony Rambola, bassist Robbie Merrill, and drummer Tommy Stewart. After debuting in 1997 with All Wound Up, Godsmack signed with Universal, which in 1998 reissued the LP as a self-titled effort with a handful of new tracks; at that point Stewart -- whod left the group in mid-1997 and was replaced by drummer Joe dArco -- returned to the lineup on a permanent basis. The bands audience built slowly but surely, and Godsmack was certified gold in 1999, the same year the group was invited to join the ~Ozzfest tour; by the next year, it had sold over three million copies, thanks to hit singles like Whatever and Keep Away. In 2000, the group again played ~Ozzfest, and released their second proper album, Awake, that fall. In January 2001, Awake earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for the song Vampires, and by March, it had sold two million copies. Hot on the heels of their continuing success, their single I Stand Alone propelled the hype of the movie #The Scorpion King in March 2002. As the single maintained Godsmacks strong presence at modern ock radio into the summer, founding member Tommy Stewart left the band in June. The David Bottrill-produced (Peter Gabriel, Tool, Mudvayne) album Faceless appeared in April 2003. It also marked the debut of ex-Amen drummer Shannon Larkin. The all-acoustic Other Side arrived in spring 2004. In 2006, Erna stepped behind the board to helm IV, a collection of new material that reached number one while both retaining the groups trademark heft and expanding their sonic palette.
