God Forbid Continue U.S. Tour With Children Of Bodom! Posted By: David Priest, Editor In Chief February 17th, 2006
God Forbid continue
their touring assault on the God Forbid recently completed a stunning new
video for the track "To The Fallen Hero" with acclaimed director
Shane Drake (Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights). Look for it to
make its Fuse and MTV2 debut late next month. Click here to check out some
photos from the shoot. Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals) further
describes his excitement over the upcoming influx of touring activity: "We
just finished up a couple weeks with the legendary Anthrax which I have
to say is one of the best tours we have ever done. Most of the shows were sold
out or packed to the gills. Anthrax and their crew were extremely
welcoming and accommodating to us. I was also surprised how cool their fans
were. I expected an older crowd, but I thought turnout was very diverse from
old to young to even whole families coming out. I think we made a lot of new
fans in a short time, which is what it's all about. Anthrax really
brings it live, and I really felt like we were part of history even though we
were a support band. I'll always remember this tour fondly. It's been fun as
hell to get back out with our old friends in Sworn Enemy and new friends
in Manntis. We are in the midst of doing some
intimate shows with those guys and the fellas in "We get to rest for a couple
weeks, before doing the U.K./IRE tour with Trivium and Bloodsimple,
which is going to be goddamn huge, to say the least. It has also just been
announced that we'll be hitting the road with Children Of
Bodom for a few weeks in March-April. I have been
a fan since I had to buy their first record on import. I'm immensely looking
forward to this tour, to say the least. I hear they are quite the drinkers, so
I might have to do prepare for some long nights, dehydration, and a bit of
anarchy. Once again, this tour is just too short, but we're trying to tour as
much we can in the "Anyway, see ya on the
road."
