LOS ANGELES (August 18, 2006) � Just as GODHEAD is emerging as a true international rock attraction, the band roars into its second decade as the first act to release an album on Cement Shoes Records, the new hard rock label distributed by FONTANA/Universal which re-establishes the importance of true artist development.
THE SHADOW LINE, set for release Aug. 29, embraces GODHEAD's hammering industrial-rock identity with no compromise, resulting in the band's most melodically potent album since forming in Washington, DC in the mid-'90s. The newly unrestrained GODHEAD sound is succinctly exemplified on the anthemic first single, "Trapped in Your Lies," impacting at active rock radio now with early airplay from XM, Sirius and Music Choice and influential radio stations such as WIIL/Chicago and WJJO/Madison.
The politically charged "Trapped in Your Lies� video, with its war-torn imagery, is included on a free bonus DVD featuring a behind-the-scenes documentary and two other music videos that come with the album packaging. Other standout tracks include the incisive ballad "Fall Down" and the haunting "Another Day." Fans can hear the single and view the "Trapped in Your Lies" video now on the band's web site (www.godhead.com) and on their MySpace page (www.myspace.com/godhead).
GODHEAD will be supporting the release of THE SHADOW LINE as part of a five-week tour with newly signed Cement Shoes label mates Ill Niño and RA, launching in late September.
"This is the first time we were able to create an album completely on our own terms," says GODHEAD front man Jason C. Miller. "We picked everyone we wanted to work with, and that's because Dan Catullo, the president of our label, lets the artist be the artist, which is so rare to find. He knows what it means to be an artist and he lets the artists create without stifling them."
THE SHADOW LINE, the fifth U.S. release from GODHEAD, was co-produced by the band with Ben Moody (Evanescence) and Julian Beeston (Billy Idol, Nitzer Ebb), and mixed by Jay Baumgardner (Papa Roach). Joining Miller (lead vocals, guitars) in GODHEAD is Mike Miller (lead guitar), Ullrich "Method" Hepperlin (programming/bass) and new drummer Glendon Crain.
GODHEAD stepped out of the garage for good with 2001's 2000 Years of Human Error. The band was suddenly in demand worldwide once radio stations and MTV embraced their version of "Eleanor Rigby" and "The Reckoning." GODHEAD started showcasing its talent as songwriters and players as hits soon began to appear on major motion picture soundtracks such as The Blair Witch Project, Dracula 2000 and the gold-selling Queen of The Damned. Success continued in 2003 with GODHEAD's Evolver, when the single "The Hate In Me" quickly became an MTV2 hit and also appeared in the movie Galerions: Rion, and "Far Too Long" was featured on CBS Television's NFL Today.
"We have more opportunities now than we've ever had before," says Miller. "And we�ve got a group of people behind us who won't take no for an answer � who won't stop until we get to the next level."
Cement Shoes Records, formed in 2006 by industry veterans Daniel E. Catullo III (President/Founder of Music DVD company Coming Home Studios), Peter Koepke (former President/Partner of legendary London Records), and Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, seeks to re-establish true artist relationships and development neglected in recent years by major labels. An independent label distributed by FONTANA/Universal, Cement Shoes Records believes the artist comes first and needs to be properly developed through relentless touring and focused marketing efforts to "The Street," where the true music fans are.
The full track listing for THE SHADOW LINE is as follows:
1. Trapped In Your Lies (3:29)
2. Hey You (4:19)
3. The Gift (4:39)
4. Fall Down (4:19)
5. Push (3:37)
6. Another Day (4:54)
7. Once Before (3:51)
8. Unrequited (3:55)
9. Through The Cracks (4:29)
10. Goodbye (3:41)
11. Your End of Days (4:31)
12. Inside Your World (3:47)

The first signing of Cement Shoes Records is gODHEAD. Formed in the mid- '90s, gODHEAD has been steadily building their fan base and emerging as a true international rock act. Their debut release of 2000 Years of Human Error on Posthuman Records in January 2001 and the 2003 summer release of the follow-up Evolver on Reality Entertainment, have sold well over 100,000 copies to date. After years of touring extensively with Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Static-X, Mudvayne, Rammstein, Pigface and Saliva to name a few -- as well as performing at Ozzfest and the Reading and Leeds festivals overseas -- gODHEAD has scraped, clawed and carved out their own place in the rock music world.
"We're one of those bands that has done it all, from touring in a broken down van and playing in front of 10 people to entertaining festival crowds of tens of thousands. We've certainly paid our dues and then some, but we don't feel we are owed anything", says front man, Jason C. Miller. "We've always believed in ourselves and we are ecstatic to be working with Cement Shoes who recognize our years of hard work and know what it takes to succeed," says Miller. "We are thrilled to be on a label where the president truly cares about our long term career and not just what we can do for him next week. We�ve never had that before."
Originally from Washington, D.C., gODHEAD was signed to Marlboro Music and had two successful European releases in 1994 and '95 followed by their first US release- Nothingness in 1996 and Power Tool Stigmata in 1998. But it wasn't until 2001 that gODHEAD broke out in the US�
After years of hard work and determination, MTV and radio stations across the country started catching on to the gODHEAD sound and began playing "Eleanor Rigby" and "The Reckoning" in heavy rotation, both were from the 2000 Years of Human Error album. The band would play in front of over 3 million people world wide in the next two years and appear on three major motion picture soundtracks including the Gold selling Queen of The Damned as well as The Blair Witch Project and Dracula 2000. Their success continued into 2003 with "The Hate In Me" single from their Evolver album that turned into an MTV2 hit as well as the song "Far Too Long," which was featured on CBS Television's NFL Today show.
"We're ready for the next step and I couldn't think of a more capable person to run a record label in this day and age and get us to that step than Dan Catullo," says Miller. "In the ever changing and evolving record business that has a new set of rules every six months, Dan and his staff are the people that I am confident can roll with the punches and take us to the top."
Cement Shoes is releasing gODHEAD's newest album, THE SHADOW LINE, August 29. 2006.
