Release, September 9, 2008
Formed in the mid-'90s,
Godhead has been steadily building their fan base and emerging as
a true international rock act. Their major label debut release of
2000 YEARS OF HUMAN ERROR on Marilyn Manson’s Posthuman
Records in January 2001 and the 2003 summer release of the follow-up,
EVOLVER, on Reality Entertainment, have sold well over 200,000
copies to date worldwide. After years of touring extensively with
Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Static-X, Mudvayne, Rammstein, Pigface
and Saliva to name a few -- as well as performing at Ozzfest and
the Reading and Leeds festivals overseas -- Godhead has scraped,
clawed and carved out their own place in the rock music world.
"We're one of those
bands that has done it all, from touring in a broken down van and
playing in front of 10 people to entertaining festival crowds of
tens of thousands. We've certainly paid our dues and then some,
but we don't feel we are owed anything", says frontman, Jason
C. Miller. "We've always believed in ourselves and our fans
have always believed in us and they constantly let us know, which
is amazingly encouraging.”
Formed in Washington,
D.C., Godhead was signed to Marlboro Music and had two successful
European releases in ‘94 and '95 followed by their first U.S.
release, NOTHINGNESS in 1996 and POWER TOOL STIGMATA
in 1998. But it wasn't until 2001 that Godhead broke out in the
U.S.
After years of hard work
and determination, MTV and radio stations across the country started
catching on to the Godhead sound and began playing "Eleanor
Rigby" and "The Reckoning" in heavy rotation. The
band would play in front of over 3 million people in the next two
years and appear on three major motion picture soundtracks including
the gold selling “Queen of The Damned,” as well as “The
Blair Witch Project” and “Dracula 2000.” Their
success continued into 2003 with "The Hate In Me" single
from their EVOLVER album that turned into an MTV2 hit, as
well as the song "Far Too Long," which was featured on
CBS Television's "NFL Today" show. In 2006, Cement Shoes
Records released, THE SHADOW LINE, which also included a
DVD of videos and behind-the-scenes footage. The single “Trapped
In Your Lies” put Godhead in the rock radio Top 40 for the
first time in their career.
Now signed to Driven
Music Group/ Warner Brothers, Jason C. Miller comments, “Driven
Music Group is going to be a fantastic new home for Godhead. We
couldn’t be happier to be a part of this company. Creatively
they are letting us bring our music to the audience exactly as we’ve
intended, and as artists we can’t begin to describe how much
we appreciate that!”
Driven Music Group’s
Mark Nawara and Greg Shanaberger comment, “We are very excited
to be working with such a class act as Godhead.
The band is very hard working and are incredible songwriters. We
look forward to big things from them.”
Driven Music Group will
release Godhead’s new album, ‘At the Edge of the World’
on October 7, 2008.
