While many bands released new albums during the peak of the pandemic, Sully Erna decided to ride it out and use the downtime to be with his closest friends and family.

Another bombshell that Sully drops is Lighting Up The Sky will probably be the last studio album coming from Godsmack. He will tell LA Lloyd why the band came up with this decision. Spoiler alert, the band isn’t breaking up and will continue to tour…just don’t expect new original music.

Did you know that The Offspring vocalist Dexter Holland has a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from USC?
