"When Legends Rise" is the title track of Godsmack's seventh album, from 2018, and its second single, and Sully Erna wrote it with John Feldmann. Erna framed it as a song about starting over, personally and musically: a look back at a couple of years in which he'd decided to cut the negative people and things out of his world, written from a place where he felt good about his band, his daughter, his career and his health.
Anyone who took the title as Godsmack crowning themselves had it wrong, by his account. The legends are a metaphor, meant to lift listeners up, and Erna was quick to say he wasn't claiming the word for his own band.
