God Forbid Announces Co-headlining North American Tour With Death Angel
New Jeresy metal titans, GOD FORBID, will kick off their 2008 worldwide
touring schedule with a massive co-headlining North American tour,
dubbed “In Thrash We Trust,” with Death Angel this spring. The trek,
which kicks off on May 1st, also features Soilent Green and Light This
City in the support slots. Fans can expect to hear some new GOD FORBID
tracks and be sure to see below or visit www.myspace.com/godforbid
GOD FORBID are back in black and ready to deliver their career defining
statement with their 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 set for a June 10th release. This package features a sold-out
performance shot with multi camera angels at the Starland Ballroom in
the group’s hometown, all of their promotional videos and an hour
documentary composed of historical insight, introspection into each
member’s personalities, and some hysterical social commentary.
Doc Coyle states: “I am very proud to announce that GOD FORBID will be
hitting the road in America on a co-headline tour with the legendary
Death Angel. This is our first full U.S. tour in many years, so we feel
honored that they would choose to do this with us. We will be splitting
the closing of the shows so we can each get a chance to play in front of
each others fans, which will be awesome. The rest of the bill is great
as well. This is a dynamic and powerful line-up of veterans, legends and
new comers. I think fans will really love this package. This tour will
give us an opportunity to support our forthcoming DVD, Beneath the Scars
of Glory and Progression. I don’t want to jinx the release date, but
everything is pointing to that it will come out around half way through
the tour. We also plan to play at least a couple new songs. We hope to
see you all soon.”
The new effort, once again produced by Eric Rachel (Atreyu, The
Dillinger Escape Plan), is the follow up to the group’s most successful
offering yet, IV: The Constitution of Treason, and the depth and
diversity on this disc is easily going to position the band as of one
the most innovative bands within the genre. This is an entirely new GOD
FORBID that have matured beyond their years and are now more focused
than ever before.
