The Godz Hair Metal Band

The Godz was a metal band that formed in Cleveland, OH in 1976.  The band, whose members all contributed on the microphone, landed a recorded deal with Casablanca in 1977.  In addition, the band also landed a deal as opening act for Kiss on their Love Gun Tour.  The band released their first album (self-titled) in 1978.  Their 70’s and early 80’s albums received little attention, but things did begin to pick up for them in the mid 80’s.  The band’s most recognized albums are 1985’s I’ll Get You Rockin’ and 1987’s Mongolians.  Some of you may remember the title track from their 1985 release.

There was a reason why Kiss picked them as a warm-up band.  With the exception of the raw vocals, the band’s sound is very similar to classic Kiss music (not all songs, but a number of them).  If you like old Kiss, you will likely enjoy this band.  The Godz broke up in the late 80’s, but did reform years later to go back on tour and release some new studio material.  The Godz Discography is as follows:
