Lawrence, Massachusetts, United States (1995 – present)
Godsmack is a hard rock/alternative metal band from Lawrence, Massachusetts, United States which formed in 1995. They are often mis-categorized as post-grunge or nu metal. The band comprises founder, frontman and songwriter Sully Erna, guitarist Tony Rombola, bassist Robbie Merrill, and drummer Shannon Larkin. Since its formation, Godsmack has released five studio albums, one EP, four DVDs, and one greatest hits collection.
The band has had three consecutive #1 albums (Faceless,IV,The Oracle) on the Billboard 200. Godsmack’s fifth studio album, titled The Oracle was released on May 3, 2010. The band has also parked a ratified 18 top ten rock radio hits, including 15 songs in the Top Five, more than bands such as Linkin Park and Metallica. Godsmack are one of the most popular metal acts of the last decade in the United States, selling over 19 million records worldwide.
Since its inception, Godsmack has toured on Ozzfest on more than one occasion, and have toured with many other large tours and festivals, including supporting its albums with its own arena tours. In the summer of 2009, Godsmack toured as support to Mötley Crüe’s Crüe Fest 2 tour.
In February 1995, Sully Erna decided to start a new band as the lead singer after playing the drums for more than 23 years, including over two years in the now-defunct band Strip Mind.

@tokinmyheart - Godsmack was formed in '95. AiC's Dirt in which "God Smack" came out in '92. So for somebody who sounds this sure, you're pretty wrong. Also, there's nothing wrong with paying tribute to older bands. Quit crying about "rip offs"

Godsmack are legends and obviously it's aic that stole from them. The song title godsmack totally came out AFTER they were a band. Because how could you not steal from holy beautiful gods such as godsmack?

@humanstain87 are you fuckin' kidding dude? their name is godsmack, they have a sun logo, their vocalist is a layne wannabe (his voice sound is really similar to him, especialy their old stuff), they have a song called love-hate-sex-pain (alice in chains has a song called "love, hate, love" and their another song "confusion"'s chorus lyrics are "love, sex, pain, confusion, suffering ..." finally, they have an album called "faceless" (alice in chains' debut album is called "facelift") do you still think that godsmack "have their own style"?
