Godsmack Discography

Godsmack is an American heavy metal band founded in 1995 by singer Sully Erna and bassist Robbie Merrill. The band has released four studio albums, one EP, one compilation, three video albums, and seventeen singles. Erna and Merrill recruited local friend and guitarist Lee Richards and drummer Tommy Stewart to complete the band's lineup. In 1996, Tony Rombola replaced Richards, as the band's guitarist. In 1998, Godsmack released their self-titled debut album, a re-recording of the All Wound Up demo. The album was distributed by Universal/Republic Records and shipped five million copies in the United States. In 2001, the band contributed the track "Why" to the Any Given Sunday soundtrack. After two years of touring the band released Awake. Although the album was a commercial success, it failed to match the sales of Godsmack. In 2002, Stewart left the band due to personal differences, and was replaced by Shannon Larkin. The band's third album, Faceless (2003), debuted at number oneon the U.S. Billboard 200. In 2004, Godsmack released an acoustic-based EP titled The Other Side. The EP debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA.
