On the back of two new songs Plan Of The Damned and The Man Who Became Himself they hit the road both at home and throughout Europe for numerous tours and festival appearances.

Soon followed Faced With Rage in 2017, Inescapable in 2020 and This Is What A Winner Looks Like in 2023; three more critically acclaimed albums showcasing their chugging guitar riffs, intricate solos and driving rhythm section. Also in their last few years of touring, the band have gained recognition as the explosive, high energy live act theyd always threatened to become. Now after being holed up in the studio for the last 18 months Godsticks are finally being released into the wild once more, armed with new music from their seventh album VOiD (released on March 27th 2026). They say it is the toughest and most demanding record we've ever made" featuring music that has "pushed us to the very extremes of what we can do as musicians. Their upcoming live shows will see a monumental release of tension and energy from this darker and angrier incarnation of Godsticks, so be prepared to be greeted with a ferocious sonic punch-in-the-face; it's one that you wont want to miss.
