James O'Connor
(October 2005 Issue)
Creating The Mystery "'Break You Down'
is one
of those songs where I wanted a driving drum beat that would overwhelm
the listener, like a train you couldn't
stop," says James O'Connor of
Godhead, describing one of the songs on the band's new album, 2000
Years Of
Human Error.
Though Godhead is the first band signed to Marilyn Manson's
new label, Posthuman Records,
O'Connor says that Godhead's music
differs somewhat from Manson's. "Our message is more about
knowledge,
and it's not so pissed off and maybe a bit more enlightened. Our album
is very diverse. Some songs are in
your face, with crunching guitars
and heavy drums. Others are slower and more dramatic."
O'Connor notes that
his favorite band is Pink Floyd and that
lead singer Jason Miller's preferred listening is The Cure. "Sure, we
want power,
drama, and emotion in songs," O'Connor says. "But we also
want the epic. After hearing our songs we want you to have
the feeling
of, 'Wow, that's unbelievable.'"
