GOD FORBID: New Album Artwork, Track Listing Revealed - Dec. 16, 2008
New Jersey metal titans GOD FORBID have unveiled the artwork and track listing for their new album, "Earthsblood".

Commented guitarist Doc Coyle: "The album layout and our spiffy new MySpace design were both done by our new partner in crime and artistic virtuoso Gustavo Sazes. Based out of Brazil, he hasn't done many American bands.

"For 'Earthsblood', we thought it would be great to go with someone who isn't one of the usual suspects for album design in modern metal. The cover turned out much better than we ever hoped. It fully captures the dark and organic, yet emotional atmosphere of the album. The detail and abstract imagery is haunting and beautiful. The color scheme is perfect. I assure you all that the rest of the layout is just as impressive as the cover. Hopefully it will give people incentive to want to buy the CD (as opposed to downloading) to be able to enjoy the artwork first hand. This is my favorite GOD FORBID album artwork to date!"

"Earthsblood" track listing:

01. The Discovery
02. The Rain
03. Empire of the Gun
04. War of Attrition
05. The New Clear
06. Shallow
07. Walk Alone
08. Bat the Angels
09. Earthsblood
10. Gaia (The Vultures)

"Earthsblood" is scheduled for release on February 24 in North America and February 16 in Europe via Century Media Records. The CD was produced by Eric Rachel (ATREYU) with Christian Olde Wolbers (FEAR FACTORY, THREAT SIGNAL) handling all vocal tracking. The mixing was handled by Jens Bogren (OPETH, SOILWORK, AMON AMARTH).

Regarding the album's title, guitarist Doc Coyle previously stated, "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."

GOD FORBID recently posted a new song, "The Rain", on its MySpace page.

This won't exactly stand out on record store shelves.
I won't buy (or download) this album, but metalcore fans could do a whole lot worse than God Forbid. Some of this stuff would be pretty enjoyable if you have the mental capacity to imagine Bruce Dickinson singing over the music instead of Doc Coyle's generic huffing and puffing.

It would be nice to hear a decent song without all that metalcore screaming shit.. There were a few tracks on the last album that got close but alas..Byron is a one trick pony..


"Fucking metalcore Photoshop album cover."

no doubt... These fuckers are done, put a fork in them...

That is some fantastic Photoshop work. I'll give this album a listen when it comes out, and only after I hear it will I pass any judgement on it. Not anytime before that.

Good job to the artist. Those of you who so quickly lash out at an artists work obviously haven't spent much time doing any art yourselves.

COMMENT | Great cover....

....as for the new song we've heard, I'm really disappointed in it, but I'll hold out hope that the rest is better.

I did love the last release!

to be honest, it is a typical metalcore cover, but how many amazing album covers are out there? truly, the music is the important part. good lyrics can be nice as well.

Calling every band you don't like metalcore is more generic than metalcore itself. STFU! This band is not metalcore. Atreyu is metalcore. Compare the two. They aren't very similar.

And when did this type of vocals become "metalcore" vocals when they were first popularized as a metal vocal style by bands like Death and Kreator? Are they generic metalcore too? STFU douchebags.

This track is kille btw. The solo is great. This is thrash metal, not metalcore.

No wonder metal fans get a bad rap - all you ever do is bitch.

If you don't like it - FUCK OFF.

You're not wanted here. Most of you wouldn't know metal if someone stuck a sword in your ass.

"metalcore" is a term used by dickheads. In order to label something they don"t like (read - understand).

Just like "emo". To even use this term now, in reality, is to brand yourself as an idiot.

It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
