Artist description
gODHEAD is gODHEAD -
The vastly eclectic musical elements of this band's recorded works
defy all attempts to categorize, describe or even explain gODHEAD
in just a few words.
Much like the legendary "Doors" the members of this foursome all
stem from highly varied musical backgrounds, providing the basis
for a intriguing blend of Metal,Rock, British Glam, Pop, Punk, Goth,
Industrial, Electronica, Techno, Trip-Hop and Classical music.
Furthermore, every Album represents another chapter in gODHEAD's
evolution which vividly illustrates the stages of the morphing of all known
types of music. |

Artist History
Formed in Washington, D.C. in the early 90's, Godhead was signed to Marlboro Music and had two successful European releases in 1994 and in 1995 followed by their first US release Nothingness in 1996 and Power Tool Stigmata in 1998. but it wasn't until 2001 that Godhead broke out in the US. After years of hard work and determination, MTV and radio stations across the country were playing "Eleanor Rigby" and "The Reckoning" both from 2000 Years of Human Error.
Since the release of 2000 Years of Human Error on Posthuman Records in January 2001, Godhead has been steadily building their fan base and emerging as an international rock act. With the July 15, 2003 release of the long awaited follow-up Evolver on Reality Entertainment, the band evolves into the total sum of all their parts.

Press Reviews
"...Marilyn Manson proteges Godhead stand out from the metal crowd with their visceral goth- and industrial-flavored fare and seppuku-gloom lyrics. The follow-up to their promising 2000 Years of Human Error, Evolver has what it takes to snag a broader audience. Though industrial trappings turn up on most tracks, singer Jason C. Miller has a remarkably smooth voice, and melody is a core element of this album. "The Hate in Me," lights the fuse with a Manson-esque opening before folding into a chorus that could belong to Collective Soul. "The Giveaway" roars along on assault-weapon guitars while Method's programming does its best to suture the wounds. The funereal "Rotten" goes from dirge to purge with rolling thunder axes anchoring the shift. With some acoustic touches and lighter sonic moments, Evolve never gets stuck in one groove. Hybrid, nihilistic and tortured, it'll suck at your soul and get better with every listen..."
