God Forbid Complete New Conceptual Album; Studio Wrap-Up! Posted By: Becky Hoyle, Assistant Editor July 12th, 2005
Ozzfest 2004 alumni God Forbid
recently completed the recording process for their highly anticipated new album
IV: Constitution Of Treason, set for a
September 20th release. The group tracked the new offering with Jason Suecof (Trivium) at Audiohammer Studios in Florida and with Eric Rachel (Atreyu, Dillinger
Escape Plan), who also handled mixing duties, at Trax
East in New Jersey. Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals) checks

or CD samplers and let the music speak for itself. I can say, however, that the
band is very satisfied with the work we've done and we feel like another
plateau has been reached as musicians. “Lyrically, the album is very deep
and dark. In fact, IV: Constitution of Treason, has become a full on
conceptual album with a story included about a post apocalyptic society. This
story and it's themes intertwine heavily with the
illustrations handled wonderfully again by Travis Smith (Nevermore, Opeth)
who also developed the art for Gone Forever and the Better Days
EP. With the exception of some weekend tour dates in July, we will be taking
the rest of the summer off, for our first real break in a year and a half. Our
next With three full-length releases and
almost a decade of experience under their belts, God Forbid now begin to
show their true potential with this groundbreaking offering that will force the
entire world to take notice. Official Website - www.godforbid1.com |
