It will kick off April 13th in Augusta, Georgia at James Brown Arena. Opening the show will be hard rock quartet, Halestorm.

Going on tour with Godsmack was a no-brainer, says Staind singer/guitarist / songwriter Aaron Lewis. Our fans are in for one hell of a rock show. Godsmack frontman and songwriter Sully Erna says, re very excited to get back out with our Massachusetts brothers again. Its been a pinch too long, and all hell is about to break loose! Lzzy Hale of Halestorm said, I am stoked to be supporting Godsmack and Staind on this tour! To be touring with the two bands of my generation that paved the way for modern rock is an honor! This line up will crush your skulls!

The bands are giving fans the chance to design a tour poster for The Mass Chaos Tour via Creative Allies. The winning designer will receive $500 and a prize pack. For contest details and entry, go to: http://bit.ly/xzpcAx

Godsmack is considered one of the definitive alternative hard rock bands in contemporary music. The bands 13 year legacy - guided by fearless founder and frontman Sully Erna - includes over 15 million albums sold - highlighted by scores of sold-out international concerts, countless successful tours, a remarkable 18 hit singles, 4 platinum records, 1 gold EP and four Grammy nominations.

GodmackTHE ORACLE,the bands last album, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart marking the 3rd consecutive album in a row by the band to debut at #1. Certified gold in the US, the album generated such hits as "Cryin' Like A Bitch" and "Love-Hate-Sex-Pain". The band is currently working on a new release slated for mid 2012.

Stainds latest release, the self-titled STAIND is a return to the bands heaviest roots, and their most powerful and intense collection of songs to date. Revolver magazine called the album a shocking crushing tour de force, and Loudwire declared, the band has returned to the grittier, bottom-heavy, down-tuned sound that defined its commercial breakthroughs, 1999s Dysfunction and 2001s Break the Cycle.

Exclusive pre-sale tickets for Stainds Dysfunctional fan club members: http://www.dysfuntionalstaind.com starts on January 25th 2 days before they go on sale to the public on January 27th.

Acclaimed as one of hard rocks most explosive acts, Halestorm made a Top 5 debut on SoundScans Hard Music chart upon its 2009 release, simultaneously bursting into the top 40 on the comprehensive Billboard 200. The bands follow-up album is set for release this spring. Formed by frontwoman Lzzy Hale and her brother, drummer Arejay Hale, Halestorm has made its bones as a major league hard rock outfit via countless North American gigs alongside such like-minded artists as Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed and Stone Sour.

"End Piracy, Not Liberty" ~ Google

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

VIA GOOGLE.. what will you do? Be heard...

"Tell Congress: Dont censor the Web
Fighting online piracy is important. The most effective way to shut down pirate websites is through targeted legislation that cuts off their funding. Theres no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs.

Too much is at stake please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA."

GODSMACK Perform live at Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu!

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 09:30:00 -0700

GODSMACK Perform live at Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu

www.blaisdellcenter.com- 777 Ward Avenue, Honolulu, HI-

(808) 768-5400

Friday September 9 at 8pm

Tickets go on sale on Friday, August 5 at 9am and will be available at www.ticketmaster.com and all local area Walmart stores or charge by phone call 1-800-745-3000.

In February of 1995, after being behind the drums for more than 23 years, Sully Erna decided to start a new band. It was only a matter of time before he realized he needed to take charge and step out from behind the kit to front the band himself.

One year and a couple of member changes later Godsmack was born. Sully Erna, Robbie Merrill and Tony Rombola hit the studio and recorded their first CD titled All Wound Up. They did this over one weekend for a measly twenty six-hundred dollars.

Over the next two years, the band played throughout the Boston scene with drummer Joe Darco and began earning a strong reputation of being a great live band. The noise they were making in the New England area created a snowball effect like no other.

Godsmack began drawing in bigger and bigger audiences to their live shows. Their CD began circulating through the streets of Boston and eventually landed in the hands of a DJ for WAAF, a Boston radio station. WAAF put "Keep Away" into heavy rotation and it quickly soared to the #1 spot at the station. Newbury Comics, a New England record store chain, agreed to sell the CD on consignment and the grind continued.

Shortly after the success of "Keep Away" Godsmack went back into the studio and recorded a single titled "Whatever", which became the new local favorite on WAAF. It took off in the blink of an eye and the race was on.

As a result of the single doing so well, Godsmack's CD began selling hundreds of copies per week, and soon escalated to more than one thousand copies per week, becoming the second best selling CD in that chain of stores. Godsmack's live shows began selling out throughout New England, which in return created more requests for their music on the local radio stations and more CD sales. On and on it went until the summer of 1998 when Republic/Universal stepped up and signed the band to their label.

Joe Darco was soon replaced by Tommy Stewart, All Wound Up was re-mastered and the artwork was changed. The finished self-titled debut CD Godsmack hit the shelves six weeks later.

Godsmack hit the road on their first headlining tour, The Voodoo Tour. The bands strong live performances, coupled with high record sales and growing number of fans, landed them time slots on Ozzfest 1999 and 2000, a European tour with Black Sabbath and an appearance at Woodstock 1999.

In 2000, Godsmack released their second CD, Awake. This album's title track dominated rock radio and broke chart records throughout 2000 and 2001. The CD's instrumental track "Vampires" earned the band its first Grammy nomination.

Godsmack toured Awake selling out arenas and outdoor venues nationwide. They gave their fans their moneys worth with a gothic stage, video and pyro; lots of pyro!

In 2002, Sully was asked to A&R the soundtrack for the motion picture The Scorpion King, the third installment in the Mummy saga. The song Godsmack wrote and performed lived up to its title: "I Stand Alone" became the #1 single at Rock Radio and the most played Active Rock song in 2002 for 14 weeks straight.

After spending over four years on the road the band decided to take a break before heading back into the studio. It was during this break that Shannon Larkin, a friend of Sully's for 15 years, formerly of Wrathchild America, AMEN and Ugly Kid Joe, was asked to replace Tommy Stewart.

The new line up headed to Miami to write and record the bands third CD. Faceless was released in April of 2003 and became the #1 selling record in America of that week. Faceless also brought another tour that ran 23 months strong including two more Grammy nominations for "I Stand Alone" and an 11 month international arena tour with the kings of metal, Metallica!!

In March of 2004, Godsmack released their first acoustic EP, The Other Side which included new versions of previous hits like "Keep Away", "Re-Align" and a haunting new version of the Navy's recruit song, "Awake"!

This also spawned a side tour of its own. Godsmack filled in breaks from the big stage with Metallica with intimate storytelling acoustic shows giving their fans the explanation behind the title, The Other Side.

With rich velvet curtains, stone gargoyles and strings of Christmas lights illuminating theaters around the country, fans had a whole new experience of the true talents of this unique foursome. Stripped down to nothing, Godsmack continued to deliver one of the best acoustic performances of our time.

Godsmack ended 2004, and two CD cycles, with a nostalgic New Year's Eve performance at the Hard Rock Caf, in Orlando, Fl. During this amazing three hour performance, Godsmack rolled through just about every song in their catalog as well as a few well known cover songs.

The band released Godsmack IV on April 25, 2006 and their latest album, The Oracle, hit the streets on May 4, 2010.

MAYHEM FESTIVAL: Godsmacks Goal: Prove It

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 20:35:00 -0700

By VANESSA FRANKO
The Press-Enterprise
"Although Massachusetts-based band Godsmack has sold upward of 7 million records in its career, the hard rock outfit is looking at its summer stint on the Mayhem Festival as a proving ground.

"For Godsmack, it's a chance for us to get up in front of a pretty different crowd than what we're used to. If you look at the bill -- Trivium, In Flames, Machine Head, Megadeth, Disturbed -- all of these bands are heavier than us. We're kind of the hard rock band on the tour. We definitely have the metal chug, chug aspect and all that," drummer Shannon Larkin said in a recent telephone interview."

Godsmack's Sully Erna looks at life from both sides

"Ask frontman Sully Erna how he thinks Godsmack will measure up against co-headliners Disturbed and Megadeth at the Mayhem Festival, and you get a take-no-prisoners response befitting the man whose guttural, metal-inspired growls propel the intense hard-rock band's assault."

We loved Shannon's first horror review for Bloody-Disgusting on the flick 'Yellowbrickroad'. His next review is for a movie call 'Hobo with a Shotgun'.

"My hat is off to director Jason Eisener for making such a cool debut film. Its got a nice saturated look that lends itself well with the storys overall grittiness and hard as nails appeal. This flick is over the top and doesnt pull any punches. Crack open some cold ones and get ready for some bloody fun" ~Shannon Larkin

GODSMACK AND BLACK RIVER COLISEUM TO AID FLOOD VICTIMS

Wed, 25 May 2011 11:40:00 -0700

Godsmack and The Black River Coliseum have teamed up in a special promotion to raise money to support three organizations that have provided invaluable assistance during the recent flooding in Southeast Missouri. The weather emergency resulted in the designation of the Coliseum as an emergency shelter for area flood victims and necessitated the rescheduling of the April 30 Godsmack concert to Tuesday, May 10.

An Epiphone Limited Edition Studio Deluxe electric guitar, with alpine white finish and gold hardware, will be played live by Godsmack lead singer Sully Erna during the Poplar Bluff show and will be autographed by all members of the band. The guitar will be raffled with 100% of the proceeds going to the Southeast Missouri Chapter of the American Red Cross, the United Gospel Rescue Mission and the Animal Welfare Alliance. The guitar itself is being donated by K Square, Inc., the St. Louis agency that books shows at the Coliseum.

To a Godsmack fan, the autographed guitar will be a priceless piece of memorabilia.

Coliseum director Randy Mathews remarked on the generosity of area residents. We talked about food donations, or clothes, toiletries and so forth, but local groups have been so eager to help, we realized none of these items represented a critical need. Thats when the band stepped up to the plate.

Godsmack band members came up with the idea of the guitar raffle as a tangible way to demonstrate their support for Poplar Bluff and the surrounding area. We want to do our part to help in any way we can, Erna said.

This is a great way to raise much-needed money for some fantastic charities, while offering fans a chance to get something that literally no one else in the world can ever have, Mathews added.
