Godhead

The first band signed to <a href="spotify:artist:2VYQTNDsvvKN9wmU5W7xpj">Marilyn Manson</a>'s label, Posthuman Records, the industrial goth band Godhead experienced a kick-start to their career after years of relentless touring and playing in the underground scene in their native town of Washington, D.C. Their aggressive, industrial sound caught the attention of <a href="spotify:artist:1ALiu7S9gPJPSw122Ds1t2">Manson</a> and the band landed a slot on <a href="spotify:artist:1ALiu7S9gPJPSw122Ds1t2">Manson</a>'s 2000 international God, Guns, and Government tour. <a href="spotify:artist:1ALiu7S9gPJPSw122Ds1t2">Manson</a> acted as executive producer and oversaw development of the band's Posthuman debut, the 2000 release 2000 Years of Human Error.

2000 Years is the fourth album from this hard rock/metal band. Godhead has released three independent albums: Godhead (1994), Nothingness (1996), and Power Tool Stigmata (1998). 2000 Years was produced by <a href="spotify:artist:4eo7PD1XBcDdceWaVH6f4w">Danny Saber</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:5M52tdBnJaKSvOpJGz8mfZ">Black Sabbath</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:51Blml2LZPmy7TTiAg47vQ">U2</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:22bE4uQ6baNwSHPVcDxLCe">Rolling Stones</a>) and mixed by John X Volaitis (Orgy, <a href="spotify:artist:2VYQTNDsvvKN9wmU5W7xpj">Marilyn Manson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3RNrq3jvMZxD9ZyoOZbQOD">Korn</a>). The album displays Godhead's religious and social discontent and exhibits the intense electronic and rock combinations of lead singer/guitarist Jason Miller, bassist and programmer the Method, guitarist Mike Miller, and drummer James O'Connor. On the album, Godhead also does a dark, macabre cover of <a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2">the Beatles</a>' Eleanor Rigby. <a href="spotify:artist:0oSGxfWSnnOXhD2fKuz2Gy">David Bowie</a>'s longtime guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:04TnU4eRkAp17iClTducee">Reeves Gabrels</a> was a notable guest on the album. <a href="spotify:artist:1ALiu7S9gPJPSw122Ds1t2">Manson</a> lent his vocals to "Break You Down," while Gabrels co-produced and played guitar on the track, "Tired Old Man." Godhead has also toured with bands like <a href="spotify:artist:3dnH7fdVm2X07MK6Fkbhbt">GWAR</a>, Genitorturers, and <a href="spotify:artist:6mEohczxsctzkEIU0WAeWD">Christian Death</a>. ~ Kerry L.
