Boston's Godsmack were poised at the forefront of the alternative metal (or "new metal") scene that surged from underground to mainstream throughout the 1990s. Drawing on the rhythmic groovemetal groundwork laid by bands such as Pantera and Tool, Godsmack are a modern-day, meaner, funkier Metallica. The group made a sizable splash with its self-titled 1998 debut, but Godsmack's longevity is put to the test on the merit of its second Republic Records release, AWAKE. With the melodic, bluesy, Alice In Chains-flavored "Goin' Down" and the Sabbathy "Mistakes," Godsmack run little risk of disappointing their dedicated, computer-savvy fanbase.
