God Forbid

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 in with the following studio report: “The recording process for the new God Forbid album, IV: Constitution of Treason, is finally complete. This record sounds massive, and is definitely our most dynamic, complex and diverse effort to date. It clocks in around 50 minutes, which would make it our longest album and will hopefully make up for some of the people who thought Gone Forever was too short. I don't want to hype it up by telling everyone how great it is, I'd rather wait until some clips are released through the internet 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 U.S. tour should be expected near the album's release date, Sept 20th, with a European tour to follow. We've also taken some steps in the next frontier... that's right, we're playing some shows on M-A-R-S. Mars bitches. See y'all at the beach.”

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.
