Artist History "I started Godeatgod in October of 1999 when I had a few good instrumental tracks left over from my previous band (Scarsix) that I wanted to re-record and add vocals. So, three weeks later I recorded the "Demo for the Sick" cd, which I wasn't really happy with. "So I wrote about 15 songs for a full-length CD, which got cut down to 10 (plus a remake of the song "Emptiness" from "Demo for the Sick") which ended up being recorded and released in May of 2000 as "The Sawblade Demos". I sent a few around and ended up getting a review in the Nov '00 issue of Metal Maniacs. I think I sold about 100 copies and I gave away 4 times as many. "I hit the studio again in April of this year to record 4 new songs and I packaged them all together with all the previous demos for the "Evolution of Revolution" CD. "As you can tell by the lineup changes, Godeatgod, is all my brainchild. I do all of the writing, all of the promotion, and all of the work. It is what I have made it and no matter the other members of the band Godeatgod will always be "my" band "I am currently demoing around twenty songs, which will more than likely be cut to 15 by the time I hit the studio again. 10 songs will appear on the next GEG full-length (scheduled to be released in April 2002) and the other 5 are for various compilations and split CDs."

Press Reviews METAL MANIACS NOV. 2000 ISSUE In his letter, Godeatgod's guitarist/ vocalist gave the normal summary info on his band and then in a moment of disarming honesty, states, "Hopefully we'll continue to improve without having to do anything that's currently trendy (i.e. black metal, death metal, goth)." Afer listening to their 10 song CD (note: actually the 11 song Sawblade demos), I think it's safe to say they don't ever have to worry about being lumped into any of these categories. The band plays stomping, droning tunes with fuzzed -out guitars and harsh, barked vocals, all of which remind me of a cross-pollination between Crowbar and Eyehategod with some doomier moments loitering throughout. It's all very lo-fi, as you'd expect, but you can pretty much smell the stale, cheap beer that's soaked into their rehearsel- room carpet and see th spittle flying from Scott's lips as he forces out each word. They manage some catchier moments, as on "Torn Apart", the likes of which may offer light at the end of the tunnel for Godeatgod in terms of becoming a "real" band, the sort which does all kinds of band- related things like touring, whoring, and scoring... to check out their own brand of musical death (a dirge-like hatefest), just send.............. Godeatgod - the Evolution of Revolution Self-Released by Scott Sanfratello Disclaimer: While Scott Myers is now a member of the Custom Heavy Staff, at the time of this review he was totally unknown to the reviewer. Just so'se you know... Godeatgod's the Evolution of Revolution is a collection of all the current GEG recordings to date- from the newest (recorded this year), to the Sawblade Demos (2000) and finishing up with The Demo for the Sick (1999)... just like KISS' Originals. Kinda sorta... Well, ok, not really... GEG singer, guitarist, bass player and Minister of Propaganda, Scott Myers, claims that the reason for this collection is to show how bad they used to suck and that now they don't suck as bad... with the idea being that people will want to stick with them in the hopes that their future recordings will progressively suck less... to the point where, theoretically, they won't suck at all. The truth is that in a collection of EVERYTHING any band has done throughout their lifetime, there's bound to be some suckiness. And sure, there's stuff that sucks on this CD. Scott attributes the sucking to the fact that he consumes way too much alcohol... but he is also quick to point out that second guitarist, Steven Link, has never had a drop of the stuff, so he has no excuse. No word on whether the others: Steve Crowser on drums and Scott Hogan on bass on the earliest tracks drink as much, or more than, Mr. Myers... That being said, there's also stuff here that doesn't suck. At all. The newer tunes sound kinda like a cross between Weedeater, Megadeath and a Death Metal band. It's definitely not the same old same old that most people are doing... There are moments of groove rock thrown in there for good measure now and then, but none of the sub genres feel forced or out of place and the crossbreeding is fairly seamlessly done. The middle era songs are actually my favorites because they are in the same vein as the newer tracks, but incorporate moments of tranquility... the use of a chorus effect on the bass at one point on "Victim" and a section of a single strummed guitar on "Blindfold"- again through a chorus effect- that I think adds a really nice dimension to the whole thing. The oldest four songs definitely have a different feel and sound to them... both musically and vocally... so, if you take the original description I gave above and replace Weedeater with early Jay-era White Zombie you might have an idea of what it's like. The musicianship throughout, for the most part, is very solid. There are a few clunkers, but I think that that's totally understandable and expected when you're dealing with demos. Or it may have been the alcohol... Anyway... There are NINETEEN songs here totaling just under 67 minutes... one of the cool things about this collection is that the song "Empty" is included as recorded in 1999 and then in 2000, and that really illustrates the sweeping changes made in the band's sound during that time. So, if I've piqued your interest in checking out this band or you just have $5 laying around burning a hole in your pocket, go to the GEG website and pick up your own copy- with the LoFi DIY individually handwritten track list... If not, go to the GEG site and tell Scott he sucks... Either way, I think he'd appreciate it.
