THREE YEARS AND ONE PANDEMIC SINCE THE RELEASE OF THEIR LAST ALBUM, ‘INESCAPABLE’, GODSTICKS ARE BACK…

This time they are showcasing their latest album, ‘This Is What A Winner Looks Like’, their heaviest and most melodic offering to date.

It’s been a long and eventful road for Godsticks since emerging onto the progressive rock scene in 2009. Lauded by METAL HAMMER as the “the U.K’s most idiosyncratic rock band” it was their 3rd album - the “genre redefining” prog-metal masterpiece ‘Emergence’ - that garnered them attention and ultimately led to them being signed to KSCOPE, home of other prog-metal titans TESSERACT.

Two more critically acclaimed albums have followed since then, all showcasing chugging guitar riffs, intricate solos and a tireless, driving rhythm section, that TOTAL GUITAR MAGAZINE described as, “technically astounding prog-metal replete with hooks and melodies.”

Hot on the heels of blistering festival performances in 2022, Godsticks released their sixth studio album on May 26th 2023, titled ‘This Is What A Winner Looks Like’ – a tour-de-force in heavy, progressive and alternative metal.

As always, you can expect an explosive, high energy live show that will have etched its way into your memory long after the final encore.

Godsticks will be supported by VMBRA

We are also delighted to announce that Godsticks will be supported on the 21st by local Manchester Band VMBRA. 

Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of bands including Porcupine Tree, Haken, The Dear Hunter, Karnivool, and Leprous, VMBRA crafts Progressive Metal characterised by powerful choruses, lush vocal harmonies, intricate riffs and structures, dramatic dynamic shifts and skilful genre fusion, which keeps the listener guessing.

They have released their second EP, ‘DELAPSVS’, which has been featured in Prog Magazine’s 150th issue.
