GOD FORBID To Co-Headline 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 visit the link below to view the complete tour itinerary.

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.
