GOD FORBID: New Album, DVD Update

May 5, 2008

New Jersey metal titans GOD FORBID kicked off their 2008 worldwide touring schedule this past week with a massive co-headlining North American tour alongside DEATH ANGEL. The trek also features SOILENT GREEN and LIGHT THIS CITY in the support slots.

GOD FORBID is ready to deliver its career-defining statement with its much-anticipated new full-length album, which is set for a late summer release. However, preceding this release will be the group's first-ever DVD, "Beneath the Scars of Glory and Progression", which is due on June 10. This package features multi-camera footage shot at a sold-out performance at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey, all of the group's promotional videos and an hour-long documentary composed of historical insight, look into each member's personalities, and some hysterical social commentary.

Regarding the band's current tour with DEATH ANGEL, GOD FORBID's Doc Coyle stated: "So far it's been a blast. The first two shows were with TESTAMENT, and they were excellent. We are sharing a bus with DEATH ANGEL and they are really some of the nicest guys I have ever met. There is a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm that they carry with them. Man, do they destroy live! I wasn't too familiar with them before the tour, but I can see why they are considered legends. SOILENT GREEN and LIGHT THIS CITY are kicking ass too. Great people and awesome bands."

He added, "So before the tour started, I'm sure many of you know we've been in the studio working on the new album. The album was supposed to go to mix May 1st, but we ran out of time in the studio, and will have to resume recording once this tour is done. Unfortunately, this means the record probably won't come out until fall now, but the quality of the record is the top priority, and we have to put our all into the final product. I can assure you what we have done sounds great, and this really is a different record for us. I think it will surprise people once it's out there.

"We are playing a new, untitled song on the tour, and it seems to be going over great.

"Also, to keep everyone in the loop, our new DVD, 'Beneath the Scars of Glory and Progression', will be in stores June 10th, but fans will be able to purchase it from the band on this tour starting May 13th at the Masquerade in Atlanta. These shows will be the only place you guys can get it before the official release so make sure you come out."
