We're not going away, we are just gonna take a break and enjoy our 10th year anniversary, and kind of recharge our batteries. And then GODSMACK will be back, and we will come back bigger and badder than ever."
GODSMACK might play some acoustic shows in November around the release of "Good Times, Bad Times".
