Godsmack's eighth studio album, Lighting Up The Sky, is out this Friday, February 24, via BMG. On the same day, the band will release the new single and music video, "Soul On Fire". Check out behind the scenes footage from the video shoot below:

Lighting Up The Sky follows the band’s 2018 release, When Legends Rise, which achieved four #1 singles back-to-back.

Co-produced by vocalist/guitarist Sully Erna and Andrew “Mudrock” Murdock (Avenged Sevenfold, Alice Cooper), Lighting Up The Sky is a testament to powerful storytelling. “​​I like when a record takes you on a journey from front to back. I realized there’s a whole story here about one man’s journey, the ups, and downs,” says Erna. “I believe it’s a story everyone will connect to, on a human level, because we’ve all gone through things in life.” The album explores boy-meets-girl, obstacles in relationships, the polarized political climate and the state of the world, betrayal, connection, rebounds, and more. It also gets into the idea of legacy, what we leave behind; fitting for what Erna has noted as their final studio album.
