Godmaker

Godmaker is a band born out of frustration with its members' more single-faceted previous projects, even ones they loved, and out of desire for a band unbound by dynamic or stylistic limitations, or a desire to fit into certain 'sub-genres,' or really anything else, other than to write music all the members completely loved. It's been working. Built of members of Cleanteeth, Bröhammer, and a cadre of other Brooklyn-based bands, Godmaker has so far found happiness in thick, doomish sludge, swinging stoner riffage, noodly, meedly arithmetic, straight-up rock, giant ear-scraping screams, full-bore catharsis, whisper-quiet respite, and any number of combinations of these and whatever other whims they've landed on -- somehow woven into coherent, purposeful songs. If we're to believe the band members, it's only gonna get weirder. The music spoke for itself, and within months, the band had shared the stage with the likes of Weedeater, Floor, Candiria, Wino, Crowbar, Royal Thunder, Lord Dying, Mutoid Man, Yob, Acid King, and a multitude of other heavy hitters, in and around Brooklyn. Godmaker's self-titled debut LP was released in digital form, a limited cassette run, and in a 100 page art book, to wildly positive reviews. Following a year of touring, and the vinyl re-release of the LP, the band added former Hull guitarist/vocalist Carmine Laietta to the mix, as they began crafting their second full length in earnest. Laietta's entry to the band adds countless new possibilities, and textures to their palette. Where that leads, let alone ends up, they don't even claim to know, or probably care to.... But they do know that with something like 50 years of gigging, writing and recording experience between them, *this* is the music they've been waiting, wanting to make. *This* is where to go for broke. *This* is fulfillment. No bullshit. No boundaries. All in. The kind of genre bending, earsplitting, swingy, sludgy, doomy, dynamic, oddly-timed, LOUD music you'd expect from a weird mix of Kansas and NYC Lifers
