Co-produced by vocalist/guitarist Sully Erna and Andrew "Mudrock" Murdock (Avenged Sevenfold, Alice Cooper), Lighting Up The Sky is the eighth studio effort from multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated hard rockers Godsmack and a testament to powerful storytelling. "I like when a record takes you on a journey from front to back. I realized there's a whole story here about one man's journey, the ups, and downs," says Erna. "I believe it's a story everyone will connect to, on a human level, because we've all gone through things in life." The album explores boy-meets-girl, obstacles in relationships, the polarized political climate and the state of the world, betrayal, connection, rebounds, and more. It also gets into the idea of legacy, what we leave behind; fitting for what Erna has noted as Godsmach's final studio album.
