GODSMACK is riding high on the success of their chart-dominating sixth full-length album 1000HP [Republic Records], which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. The album’s most recent single “Something Different” reached Top 5 at Active Rock radio, giving the group yet another top smash at the format.

GODSMACK has received high critical praise since its release of 1000hp. In a 3-out-of-4 star review, USA Today asserted, “GODSMACK has lost none of its pile-driving power,” The Boston Globe said, “On its sixth album, GODSMACK—which kicked off its hard-rock career in Boston’s bars nearly two decades ago—sounds leaner and meaner, and a bit nostalgic, too,” Loudwire beamed, “GODSMACK are back and showing a rejuvenated fury as they deliver the goods,” and Billboard put it best, “Hell hath no fury like GODSMACK.”

Get ready for a big 2015 from GODSMACK as they continue to steamroll forward at 1000HP.
 
To date, GODSMACK have notched a staggering now seven number one singles on both the Billboard Mainstream  & Active Rock Chart, including "Awake", "Straight Out of Line", "Cryin' Like A Bitch", and "I Stand Alone". Moreover, they've enjoyed 21 Top 10 hits at the format—the most of any act since February 1999 as well as four Grammy nominations, and winner of Billboard Music Awards Rock Artist of the Year in 2001.  Selling over 20 million records worldwide, the band has also unleashed three consecutive albums at #1 on the Billboard Top 200—namely Faceless [2003], IV [2006], and The Oracle[2010]. This places them in league with Van Halen, U2, Metallica, Dave Matthews Band, and Linkin Park who have also enjoyed the same streak. Moreover, the accomplishment on the road remains staggering with headlining sets everywhere from Mayhem and UPROAR to Rock on the Range.
