Lighting Up the Sky

A high-voltage hard rock swan song. Thick guitar grooves and gritty baritone vocals anchor a reflective, career-spanning journey through legacy and brotherhood.

February 24, 2023 · Godsmack

A powerful blend of hard-hitting defiance and mature, retrospective gratitude.

Moments Worth Listening For

The massive, anthemic chorus of Surrender that feels tailor-made for a thousand voices to sing back.

The shift into a more vulnerable, piano-led reflection on the track Truth.

The way the title track builds into a soaring, celebratory guitar solo that feels like a final curtain call.
