GOD FORBID CAN’T STOP “THE RAIN” (AND WE WOULDN’T WANT THEM TO)

 Thursday, December 4th, 2008 at 3:18pm by

God Forbid have posted a new song from their forthcoming album Earthsblood, entitled “The Rain,” on their MySpace page. Guitarist Doc Coyle has this to say about it:

“So ‘The Rain’ is the first official offering from Earthsblood as the ‘Empire of the Gun’ teaser released for a few short days in October was neither a final mix or master. This was one of the first songs completed in the writing process, and the first song performed live as I’m sure many fans saw us play it on the Death Angel tour. Those who heard it live or saw the bootleg footage online will notice the evolution with the song vocally. With a significantly darker and intense tone than Constitution and noted, new, black metal influence, ‘The Rain’ sets an accurate tone of the statement this album makes about our intention to keep core elements of our sound while not being afraid to expand the palette and venture into new musical territory. Enjoy the metal!”

It’s a kick-ass song – and it’s not even close to being our favorite off of Earthsblood.

Century will release Earthsblood in the US on February 24 and in Europe on February 16.

    Boring song. Sounds like something I could’ve written in five minutes. Disappointed after Constitution.

    This song is ass. That solo sounds stupid, vocals sound like shit, this band has not progressed at all. Boring fucking song.

    Thanks for deleting my previous comment, by the way, MetalSucks. I guess you don’t want any negative feedback on anything by a MS contributor (Dallas). Well if this song fucking blows, the world has a right to know it. It does, and they do.

    I was surprised to see the outpouring of negative comments… until I realized they were all written by the same retard. This song fucking rules, and the black metal influence is certainly a nice touch. Really looking forward to the new album. Fuck off.

    Alright, this is my first time writing on this site. I honestly think God Forbid hit a major snag after Constitution. I constantly wondered why it was taking them so long to write new material. Sadly, it looks like they have run out of ideas. I could sense a tension over the last year or so with this band. No doubt the stress of not being able to write decent material has plagued them now for sometime.

    @ Rob D.: In 2 years we’ve only deleted a comment once, and it wasn’t yours. It’s not in our spam folder and there’s no record of you ever leaving a 4th comment. If you’re too dumb to hit the “submit comment” button, please don’t blame us. Thanks.
