Godsmackis a hard rock/ alternative metalband from Boston, Massachusetts, USA formed in 1996. They are often categorized by critics as a nu metal band, but most fans insist otherwise; their music contains very few of the essential nu metal elements. Alice in Chainsis believed to be the primary influence to Godsmack. In early interviews, the band admitted they started off as a tribute band to Alice in Chains. Many believe Godsmack obtained their name from the Alice in Chains song "God Smack" off the album Dirt.
