Returning after their 2020 release ‘Inescapable’, Progressive Metal luminaries Godsticks unveil their new
masterstroke, ‘This Is What A Winner Looks Like’ on May 26th via Kscope.
Sonically, Godsticks marry effortless technicality with earworm melodies to create an offering that
surpasses their previous album, ‘Inescapable’ that many deemed as the zenith of their sound. The album
is their most collaborative effort to date, incorporating electronic elements alongside their trademark
metallic edge. ‘This Is What A Winner Looks Like’ represents an evolution and furthers each facet of the
band’s identity in a contemporary and refreshing fashion .
As an indirect impact of the pandemic much of the lyrical concept of ‘This Is What A Winner Looks Like’
was inspired by TV shows that band leader Darran Charles immersed himself in during this trying time but
also takes influence from the crushing inability to escape from the void of live performance. Something
the band deeply cherish.
'This Is What A Winner Looks Like' was produced by James Loughrey (Skindred / Def Leppard) with
mastering from Maor Appelbaum and was recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios (Queen / Black
Sabbath / Devin Townsend etc…)
This edition of ‘This Is What A Winner Looks Like’ is presented in single black vinyl in single sleeve running
at 33rpm.
