Looking among the many heavier sounding groups that have arrived on the new millennium rock scene, it may seem that boy bands are not simply limited to pop. Black clothes and makeup have spread into this century like mullets and parachute pants of yesteryear. But from our country"s capital Godhead has pushed through the darker imagery and into the metal scene. After four years, four CDs, and tours with gothic rock legends like Christian death as well as the Genitortures, Godhead was signed to Marilyn Manson"s newly formed label Posthuman Records.

Endorsed but not created by Manson, Godhead has maintained its unique and heavy sound. A four piece band whose lead singer"s training lies in opera, Godhead stands on its own besides Manson. Of the choice to join Posthuman Records, lead singer Jason Miller commented, "to me this was the best place to go, you got someone who"s not going to censor you and who is already a musician and an artist. That situation was so much more ideal because you"re not going to have a bunch of guys in suits that are in charge of you." Not wishing to be known simply as Manson"s label"s first band, Miller says "we want to establish ourselves to where we"re no longer in any category were just a category by ourselves. I"d rather let the music speak for itself."

And having just returning from the European leg of the "God Guns and Government Tour" and set to tour this summer with Ozzfest, Godhead isn"t waiting around for there name to get out. They have embarked on a 28-date tour with Disturbed to promote their new album 2000 years of human error. Miller sums up this tour as an effort "to get ourselves heard in front of as many different people as possible." Adding, "I want our music to effect people in a positive way. If more people can identify with it, that"s what is all about. I"m not trying to dominate the world or anything like that."
