Not to be confused with the 1960s/early-'70s psychedelic band that was also called <a href="spotify:artist:7aWRi6pqwR80o5HyFO6u7q">the Godz</a>, this foursome was a Cleveland-based hard rock outfit of the late '70s and '80s. The band was formed in Columbus, Ohio in 1976, when bassist/producer Eric Moore got together with lead guitarist Mark Chatfield, rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Bob Hill, and drummer Glen Cataline. All four contributed lead vocals. The Godz signed with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Casablanca%22">Casablanca</a> in 1977, which was also the year in which they had an opening spot on <a href="spotify:artist:07XSN3sPlIlB2L2XNcTwJw">Kiss</a>' Love Gun Tour. (<a href="spotify:artist:1LB8qB5BPb3MHQrfkvifXU">Cheap Trick</a> was the other opening act on that tour.) The Midwesterners recorded two little-known albums for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Casablanca%22">Casablanca</a>: 1978's The Godz and 1979's Nothing Is Sacred, both of which received very little attention. More albums followed in the '80s, including 1985's I'll Get You Rockin' on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Heavy+Metal+America%22">Heavy Metal America</a> and 1987's Mongolians on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Grudge%22">Grudge</a>. The band faded away soon after, although Moore re-formed the band in the 2010s for a pair of albums, 2012's Last of the Outlaws and 2015's Last Rites. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
