GODSMACK To Keep Tour On Ice Until September
April 7, 2006Launch Radio Networks reports: GODSMACK's new album, titled "IV" (Four),comes out on April 25, but the band won't hit U.S. stages until September. GODSMACK hasn't toured the States since supporting METALLICA in 2004, and lead singer Sully Erna told Launch why the group is going to keep America waiting just a little longer. "We love this record so much, we want people to live with it for a few months before we hit the States, because when we come to the States, we want to bring it bigger and badder than we did when we left the METALLICA tour," he said. "And in order to do that, we have to move into arenas. I want to give people a little bit of time to learn this record because it's so good we want to play more of it. But when it comes, it's gonna be on."
The new GODSMACK effort follows up the band's 2003 disc, "Faceless", and 2004's acoustic EP, "The Other Side".
GODSMACK will be the featured guests on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" airing Monday, May 1. The live show begins at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET, and fans are encouraged to call in with questions during the program at (800) 344-ROCK (7625).
