Greek stoner-rock collective Godsleep today share a music video for a new track titled “Pots of Hell”, which is taken from the band’s third full-length album “Lies To Survive,” due out on April 7, 2023 via Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Records, the label owned by 1000Mods.
Produced by Vanilla Films and directed by Valentin Rivera, the video for “Pots of Hell” is now playing at The Obelisk, who had this to say about the new effort “Lies to Survive is a landmark for them in unveiling the scope of their intent as it is today, pairing awareness of that with the knowledge born of experience that not all of their audience is going to be on board for the sundry turns in the material. The album is bolder for that, and its boldness might be the greatest unifier of all.”

The follow-up to their 2018 critically acclaimed second album “Coming Of Age” was produced by John Sotiropoulos & Godsleep at Wreck it Sound Studios, Corinth, GR and sees the four-piece keeping the core ingredients of their sound intact: Heavy/Fuzzy guitars, thick bass lines and powerful Groovy drumming, perfectly complemented by uniquely addictive female vocals which vary from Psychedelic howls and haunting melodies to throat-ripping edgy screams. Yet, this time is also shows an eagerness to branch out into other areas bringing in elements of noise-rock and even punk-rock elements like on the raucous “Pots of Hell.” Pre-orders are now available on bandcamp: https://godsleep.bandcamp.com/album/lies-to-survive

Formed in 2010, Godsleep have been working relentlessly since then, walking their way to entering the Heavy Rock pantheon. Having been described as one of the most promising bands of the Heavy Psychedelic Rock sound, from their very beginning, the Athenian Heavy Rock roller-coaster based its very existence on powerful live appearances, including the participation in high profile Rock festivals all around Europe and a full European tour in support of their critically acclaimed debut album “Thousand Sons of Sleep” (Rock Freaks Records, 2015).
2018 welcomes the release of “Coming of Age,” Godsleep‘s sophomore full length album, which was released by legendary Greek underground Rock record label The Lab Records and garnered strong reactions from both press and fans. Having kept the core ingredients of their sound intact: Heavy Fuzzy guitars, thick bass lines and powerful groovy drumming, Godsleep enriched their songwriting with uniquely addictive female vocals which vary from Psychedelic howls and haunting melodies to throat-ripping edgy screams.
Now five years later, Godsleep return with their third album “Lies to Survive” to be released by Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Records in April 2023.
