GOD FORBID: New Album Title Explained

October 24, 2008

New Jersey metal titans GOD FORBID have set "Earthsblood" as the title of their new album, tentatively due in February 2009 via Century Media Records. The CD was produced by Eric Rachel (ATREYU) with Christian Olde Wolbers (FEAR FACTORY, THREAT SIGNAL) handling all vocal tracking.

Commented Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals): "The title 'Earthsblood' came to me after watching the film 'There Will Be Blood'. What is the price of ambition? Is the blood of our bodies and the blood of the earth one and the same? With the current energy crisis, and its relation to many of the military conflicts worldwide, there has been a global, collective consciousness that has emerged in regards to the interdependence between humankind and the planet in which we inhabit. Coincidentally, the lyrics that Byron Davis and Dallas Coyle had written meshed with these revelations perfectly. This isn't a preachy, trendy, 'hip-to-be-green' album, nor is it a concept album. It's just an abstract observation."

Video footage of GOD FORBID performing a new track off the group's upcoming CD can be viewed below (courtesy of Metal Injection via Metal Nick). The clip was shot at the Baltimore, Maryland stop of the band's recent In Thrash We Trust tour, also featuring DEATH ANGEL, SOILENT GREEN and LIGHT THIS CITY.
