Godsmack has a hot new single out in "Truth," and now, the hard rockers have shared a behind-the-scenes video of the making of that song. It's a roughly seven-minute clip that goes in-depth about the band's songwriting and recording process.
Inside 'Truth' with Godsmack's Behind-the-Scenes Video
Godsmack vocalist Sully Erna opens up about the meaning on "Truth" in the behind-the-scenes video. "Today, I've made a choice to share with all of you an emotional event that happened to me three years ago," he says in the video's description. "Sometimes my dearest friends and family will ask me why I would want to expose such a personal story to the public, and normally I wouldn't. However, I would also be a hypocrite if what I preach all the time is how people should expose their SCARS, emotionally or physically, and wear them loudly and proudly on their sleeves to remind us of what we survived. Rather than carry that weight internally and sink into dark places, always wondering what we did wrong, what we could’ve done better, and never forgiving the other person or ourselves."
He continues, "If we are going to truly heal and live our best lives free of guilt, pain and suffering, then I feel we have to share our stories, expose our vulnerabilities and move past them with forgiveness. As I have with my ex, who chose to make this mistake and betray our love some time ago. It is also how I choose to create my art. Not only does it help heal me, but it also allows me to share my gift of music with all of you. Although it can be very painful to create under these circumstances, the reward has ALWAYS been much greater than the risk."
Erna adds that as you view the behind-the-scenes video, "I hope you see it more as a celebration of a rebirth, than a trauma endured. I truly hope it helps ALL OF YOU who may have suffered a betrayal of some kind find your peace too." He also urges fans to share their personal stories at Scarsfoundation.org. Watch the behind-the-scenes video clip of the making of "Truth" below. The songs has nearly 7 million on-demand streams to date and is currently inside the top 15 at active rock radio. It's great to see a band that's been around for decades, such as Godsmack, continuing to release new music that resonates with modern day rock fans.
