Lighting Up The Sky, the eighth studio album from multi-platinum Grammy-nominated hard rock band GODSMACK is out now via BMG. The album includes previously released tracks “You and I,” and “Surrender;” which skyrocketed to #1 at active rock radio for four consecutive weeks upon release.
Alongside the release, the band shares the music video for “Soul On Fire” directed by Sully Erna and shot at Studio Lab in Derry, NH.
Co-produced by Erna and Andrew “Mudrock” Murdock (Avenged Sevenfold, Alice Cooper), Lighting Up the Sky is a testament to powerful storytelling. “I like when a record takes you on a journey from front to back. I realized there’s a whole story here about one man’s journey, the ups, and downs,” says Erna. “I believe it’s a story everyone will connect to, on a human level, because we’ve all gone through things in life.” The album explores boy-meets-girl, obstacles in relationships, the polarized political climate and the state of the world, betrayal, connection, rebounds, and more. It also gets into the idea of legacy, what we leave behind; fitting for what Erna has noted as their final studio album.
