More about Godsmack's music career

The band was originally formed in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in 1995 as a collaboration between Sully Erna, Robbie Merrill, Tony Rombola, and Shannon Larkin after the disbandment of Erna's previous band, Strip Mind. The band was initially named The Scam, which was later changed to Godsmack after a demo tape.

After some lineup changes, the band independently released their debut album All Wound Up... in 1997. The album became a minor success due to the patronage of the Boston radio station WAAF(FM). The album was later released under the major studio label Universal Records as an eponymously titled album, which peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Godsmack achieved critical acclaim with their third studio album, Faceless, released on April 8, 2003. The album was a major chart success, peaking as the chart-topper on the Billboard 200 album chart and Top Internet Albums chart. It was also among the top 10 albums in the Canadian album charts.
