Godsmack was formed in Boston during the mid-90’s by lead vocalist Sully Erna, guitarist Tony Rombola, bassist Robbie Merrill, and drummer Tommy Stewart. They gigged around Boston, making a name for themselves in the clubs. They released a demo, called All Wound Up, and were instantly recognized by Universal Records, who signed them and re-released the demo with a few new songs as a self-titled debut. Godsmack received a lot of attention, but they worked hard for it. They were on tour with Ozzy and the Ozzfest, they gigged endless clubs, and were working hard to produce another album. In 2000, they released Awake, which went platinum. There is much more in store for Godsmack.
