Godsmack

Boston based metal band, Godsmack, is a quartet with a unique and self-owned sound, showing clearly their grunge influences with really heavy and low string riffs. Their main influence is Alice in Chains (even the name of the band is a track from Alice). Dirty, heavy and sometimes melodic harmonies define their style, making use of some acoustic guitars from here to there. Actual members are: Sully Erna (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion, harmonica), Tony Rombola (lead guitar, backing vocals), Robbie Merrill (bass guitar) and ex-Amen drummer Shannon Larkin (drums and percussion).

They reached popularity from their singles "Whatever" and "Keep Away" from their 1998 self-titled album. Now, they have released in May 2010 their 5th album, "The Oracle". Here Im leaving the video for the first track of this album, "Cryin' like a bitch". Critics say is their heaviest and most aggressive album up to date. Well, check it out:


The following is a spectacular video of a drum battle, between both percussionists of the band. Sully started his musical career as a drummer and percussionist, and even recorded drums in their first album. Enjoy:
