About

Godzillionaire rocks for the wounded soul.

Fronted by legendary singer, poet, and artist Mark Hennessy from grunge-band also-ran Paw, Godzillionaire is known for creating focused music equal in ferocity and lovelorn sensitivity, and for bringing raging, emotionally intense live performances. Hennessy is joined by Ben White (guitar), Michael Dye (bass), and Cody Romaine (drums) as well as vocals, in creating music with focus and intention, rooted in human experience.

The band first received worldwide attention with the inclusion of songs "Absolute Zero" and "Excommunication" in the film "They Come Knocking" (part of Hulu's "Into the Dark" series) at the request of director and long-time supporter Adam Mason (video director for Alice in Chains, Cradle Of Filth, and others). Leanne Ridgeway of Riff Relevant writes of their last album Negative Balance that it is the “aural sanctuary I’ve been waiting 20 years for someone to build…after repeated listening, I find myself entranced and compelled…nearly an hour of enchantingly heavy and light moments blended into thoroughly encompassing storytelling.”

Negative Balance,  originally released in Apr 2020 independently and rereleased in 2026 via Ripple Music, was ranked #14th best album of the year by the staff of New Noise magazine and #50th in their readers' poll, ranked #13 in Guitar Part magazine's staff picks for best albums of 2020, and was featured in John Gist's Doom Charts 2020 Favorites.

Diminishing Returns, released in Jan 2025 vis Ripple Music, was ranked #5 album of 2025 by Doom Charts
