Just as Godhead is emerging as a true international rock attraction, the band roars into its second decade as the first act to release an album on Cement Shoes Records, the new hard rock label distributed by Fontana/Universal which re-establishes the importance of true artist development.
The Shadow Line, set for release 08/29, embraces Godhead’s hammering industrial-rock identity with no compromise, resulting in the band’s most melodically potent album since forming in Washington, DC in the mid-'90s. The newly unrestrained Godhead sound is succinctly exemplified on the anthemic first single, “Trapped In Your Lies,” impacting at active rock radio now with early airplay from XM, Sirius and Music Choice and influential radio stations such as WIIL/Chicago and WJJO/Madison.
The politically charged “
Trapped In Your Lies” video, with its war-torn imagery, is included on a free bonus DVD featuring a behind-the-scenes documentary and two other music videos that come with the album packaging. Other standout tracks include the incisive ballad “Fall Down” and the haunting “Another Day.”
Godhead will be supporting the release of The Shadow Line as part of a five-week tour with newly signed Cement Shoes label mates Ill Niño and RA, launching in late September.
“This is the first time we were able to create an album completely on our own terms,” says Godhead front man Jason C. Miller. “We picked everyone we wanted to work with, and that’s because Dan Catullo, the president of our label, lets the artist be the artist, which is so rare to find. He knows what it means to be an artist and he lets the artists create without stifling them.”
