Recently signed to Californian label Ripple Music, the Kansas underground rock favorites are set to issue their most adventurous record to date with “Diminishing Returns.” Godzillionaire invites us to embrace their fervent brand of heavy rock through eight superbly magnetic songs.
From the dark and atmosphere-driven Rock journey of “Spin Up Spin Down,” the murky grunge aura of “Shadow of a Mountain” to the hard-hitting charge of “3rd Street Shuffle” and the triumphant Heavy Psychedelia of “Boogie Johnson” and “Common Board, Magic Nail,” the fabulous foursome is never short of an undeniable rifftastic grandeur crowned by spectacular grooves and the unique soulful voice of Mark Hennessy (also known for fronting cult Grunge Rock outfit Paw).

Godzillionaire “Diminishing Returns” out January 17th on Ripple Music (vinyl/CD/Digital) Bandcamp Pre-Order / US Pre-Order
Fronted by legendary singer, poet, and artist Mark Hennessy from grunge band Paw, Godzillionaire is known for creating focused music equal in ferocity and lovelorn sensitivity and bringing raging, emotionally intense live performances. Hennessy is joined by Ben White (guitar), Michael Dye (bass) and Cody Romaine (drums) in creating music with focus and intention, rooted in human experience.
Godzillionaire first received worldwide attention with the inclusion of their songs “Absolute Zero” and “Excommunication” in the film “They Come Knocking” (part of Hulu‘s “Into the Dark” series) upon request of video director and long-time supporter Adam Mason (Alice in Chains, Cradle Of Filth). Released in April 2020, their debut album “Negative Balance” was ranked #14th in New Noise Magazine’s Albums of the Year staff poll and #50th in their readers’ poll. It was also ranked #13 in Guitar Part magazine’s staff picks for Best Albums of 2020, and was featured in John Gist’s Doom Charts 2020 Favorites. Leanne Ridgeway of Riff Relevant described it as: “an hour of enchantingly heavy and light moments blended into thoroughly encompassing storytelling”.
Their upcoming sophomore album “Diminishing Returns” sees the band exploring new, intriguing, yet familiar sonic territory, perhaps the most eclectic release of their career. It will be issued in various vinyl editions, CD digipack and digital on January 17, 2025 on Ripple Music.
