GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna tweeted on February 5 that the band has made massive headway in the songwriting process for its next studio album, tentatively due later in the year.
“This band is on FIRE lately!” Erna wrote. “Finished 11 songs in two weeks so far.
2014 watch the f%#k out!!!
In a post on GODSMACK‘s official web site, drummer Shannon Larkin added: “We wrote a bunch of new songs in Florida while our new [headquarters] was being built in New England. Now here we are outside of Boston in a kick-ass studio surrounded by GODSMACK vibes and creating like maniacs!
“[We have written] so many cool new tunes that I can tell ya it’s gonna be hard to narrow these down to the best ones!
“I can’t give anything away at this point, but wanted to let you real fans know that we are DEEP into this and feeling great about positive attitudes and massive progress!”
GODSMACK‘s last full-length set of all-new material, “The Oracle”, came out in May 2010, although the quarter also issued the concert set “Live And Inspired” in 2012.
Erna told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that playing live has always been important to GODSMACK. “That’s probably the exciting moment for us, is to get out there,” he said. “It is truly the thing that keeps us alive and keeps us doing this, is the feeling you get from live performances. It’s what I look forward to the most.”
The band took some time off in 2013 to recharge their batteries and allow members to work on other projects.
Erna played some solo shows, and also resumed his poker-playing career. He also acted in a film called “Army Of The Damned”, playing a sheriff who uncovers more than he bargained for when he answers a domestic disturbance call.
