Godsmack

Godsmack is a heavy metal band from Boston. The name "Godsmack" did not come from an Alice in Chains song though popular rumor deems it so. It came from the lead singer insulting one of his band mates for having a cold sore on his lip. The next time he came in for practice, he had one too. Sully Erna, the lead singer and practicing Wiccan believes in Karma, and his making fun of his band mate was the way in which he was repaid... His band mate told him that that was a "godsmack."

In 2002, Godsmack received a Grammy nomination in "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" for the song "Vampires" from the album Awake.

Godsmack have been called nu metal many times but they are a bit far from that genre. Lead singer Sully Erna's voice fits more with traditional heavy metal, they've never had rapping or turntables in their songs and many of their songs have guitar solos.
