Godiva
Encyclopedia : G : GO : GOD : Godiva
GODIVA is a heavy metal band from Switzerland.
Originally formed in early 2001 as a cover band. By the summer of 2001, the band recorded their first 3-track-demo and within the next year GODIVA supported numerous bands such as Freedom Call, Shakra, Primal Fear and Dokken. Therefore it is not really a surprise that already one year after GODIVA was founded the boys were headlining the Swiss Metal Attack festival in 2002.
The Helvetians first album was simply titled GODIVA and was recorded in the House of Music Studio in Winterbach, Germany under the direction of the two successful producers Tom Naumann and Achim Köhler and released by Limp Music Products.
The second album, Call me under 666, was released in summer 2005.
Hard and modern riffs of the two guitarists Sammy Lasagni and Moses B. Fernandez, a driving groove from the rhythmsection Mitch Koontz (bass) and Peter Gander (drums) as well as the unique, unmistakeble melodic heavyvoice of Fernando Garcia give GODIVA its unprecedented characteristics, which even live meets in every respect all expectations.
