It’s been a long and eventful road for GODSTICKS since emerging onto the progressive rock scene in 2009. Metal Hammer Magazine called them “the U.K’s most idiosyncratic rock band” and when the “genre redefining” prog metal masterpiece that was ‘Emergence’ was released in 2015, it garnered them new fans from all over the world and ultimately led to them being signed to Kscope.
Soon followed ‘Faced With Rage’ in 2017, ‘Inescapable’ in 2020 and ‘This Is What A Winner Looks Like’ in 2023; three more critically acclaimed albums showcasing their chugging guitar riffs, intricate solos and driving rhythm section. Also in their last few years of touring, the band have gained recognition as the explosive, high energy live act they’d always threatened to become.
Now after being holed up in the studio for the last 18 months GODSTICKS are finally being released into the wild once more, armed with new music from a soon-to-be-announced seventh studio album. They claim it is “the toughest and most demanding record we've ever made" featuring music that has "pushed us to the very extremes of what we can do as musicians.” These new shows will see a monumental release of tension and energy from this darker and angrier incarnation of GODSTICKS, so be prepared to be greeted with a ferocious sonic punch-in-the-face; it's one that you won’t want to miss.
