GODSMACK MEMBERS TO RELEASE ANOTHER ANIMAL DEBUT IN SEPTEMBER

ANOTHER ANIMAL, the new band featuring GODSMACK members Shannon Larkin (drums), Robbie Merrill (bass) and Tony Rombola (guitar), alongside vocalist Whitfield Crane (UGLY KID JOE, LIFE OF AGONY, MEDICATION) and DROPBOX guitarist Lee Richards, will release its long-awaited debut album in September via Republic/Universal. A single will precede the full-length CD in July.

As previously reported, ANOTHER ANIMAL has made one track, entitled 'Find a Way', available for download via its MySpace page. The song is one of the 20-some surplus tracks GODSMACK members wrote for the group's latest album, 'IV', that didn't make the final cut.

'We hooked up with Lee Richards and Whit Crane, and while not all of the material is leftover GODSMACK material, a lot of it was,' Larkin told MTV.com last year. 'A lot of it was real metal. We're more a hard-rock band, GODSMACK. So a lot of those riffs we threw to the side. Working as a side project on these songs is nice, because you don't have the pressure of being in this multiplatinum thing, where everybody's really looking at you and there is anticipation. With ANOTHER ANIMAL, we can just go in and be musicians.'
