Awake

Godsmack

Gritty, warehouse-recorded alternative metal defined by tribal rhythms and Sully Erna's defiant baritone. A raw, unpolished evolution of the post-grunge sound.

It's the sound of a warehouse being demolished by a drum kit and a very angry man.

A relentless, confrontational energy fueled by industrial grit and rhythmic precision.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The mechanical, chugging opening riff of Sick of Life that sets a relentless pace for the entire record.
The tribal-influenced drum breakdown in the middle of Awake that highlights the band's rhythmic obsession.
The shift into the atmospheric, swirling textures of Spiral that closes the album on an unexpectedly psychedelic note.
