GODSMACK's 'IV' Tops BILLBOARD Album Chart

May 3, 2006

GODSMACK's latest album, "IV", has sold 211,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 1 on next week's The Billboard 200 chart. This figure is a bit less than the 267,000 units registered by GODSMACK's third CD, "Faceless", back in April 2003, and the 256,000 first-week tally achieved by 2000's "Awake".

GODSMACK will be taping an appearance on NBC-TV's "Last Call with Carson Daly" on Wednesday, May 3. The band will perform 2-4 songs at the event, the attendance to which is by invitation only. To obtain tickets to attend the taping, visit www.1iota.com and follow the instructions.

GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna is working on a song with magician Criss Angel for Angel's upcoming album. The pair have taken the theme song from Angel's A&E series, "Mindfreak", and are reworking it, according to Billboard.com. Former EXTREME guitarist Nuno Bettencourt is also playing on the track.

Erna also plans to appear on the new season of "Mindfreak", which begins on May 31.

GODSMACK's upcoming North American tour (set to kick off in September) will be a three-band package, featuring an as-yet-undisclosed co-headliner (rumored to be ROB ZOMBIE) and an opening act, to be announced at a later date.
