Forerunners of the New Wave of American Metal scene, New Jersey’s GOD FORBID, will embark on a short East Coast run with A Life Once Lost and labelmates Diecast at the end of the month. This trek concludes with a performance at the Saints and Sinners fest in Asbury Park, NJ that also features Killswitch Engage and Unearth. This caps off an extremely successful year for the band, which saw them tour alongside such renowned acts as Children of Bodom, Anthrax and Arch Enemy, among a slew of others.
GOD FORBID just returned from the highly successful Hell on Earth tour, and Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals) checks in with the following report: “We are very happy to be home from a great European run. Heaven Shall Burn, Maroon, Cataract, Purified in Blood, A Perfect Murder and Narziss were all great people and excellent bands. Some of my personal highlights on the tour were the last show in Essen (the biggest show and the crowd was rowdy as fuck), Denmark (where we were fortunate enough to play with the legendary Entombed) and Austria (where fuckers just lost their minds).
“There were plans in place for a U.S. headlining tour to close out the year, but it’s been rescheduled for Jan.- Feb. We want to do at least one more U.S. run before we start working on another album. What better way to come back than to play a long set with the biggest, most elaborate show that GOD FORBID has ever has done! We should have a concrete announcement in the coming weeks. There hasn't been an American tour since June, so we are raring to go. Speaking of shows, in addition to the Saints and Sinners Festival we have two shows with our good friends in A Life Once Lost and Diecast that same weekend. These will probably be our last shows of the year, so be sure to make it out.”
A new live video for the track “Chains of Humanity” is currently being edited by David Brodsky (Diecast, GWAR, The Red Chord) and will be primarily composed of footage from the renowned Metal Hammer Awards show. Look for it next month.
