Godsmack is an American heavy metal band from Massachusetts formed in 1996. Led by founder, frontman, and songwriter Sully Erna, the band have released four studio albums, one EP, three DVDs, and are releasing a greatest hits collection on December 4, 2007.

Godsmack have sold nearly 10 million albums. The band have had two no 1 albums (Faceless and IV) on the Billboard 200. They have had thirteen top ten modern rock singles as well as four modern rock #1 singles, a debut album selling over five million copies in two years and have also been nominated for three Grammy Awards.

The band’s music is often compared to Alice in Chains, which the band cites as an influence. Adrien Begrand of Popmatters states, “Erna perfectly mimics the late Layne Staley’s low, guttural, sinister singing and snarly, metal-inspired growls”-Erna's vocals also seem to be reminiscent of Metallica's James Hetfield-and, “The band’s music is a faithful retread of Jerry Cantrell’s churning, tuned-down hard rock”.
