God Forbid Rumors: No Rumors, No April Fools Prank

Scott — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:03:49 +0000

The rumors that God Forbid Guitarist, Dallas Coyle had left the band earlier this week have proved to be true and not just some elaborate April Fools prank as most people hoped for. The outspoken guitar player spoke exclusively with Metalsucks.net whom he has had a close relationship with for some time now.

Dallas would like the metal community to know that his split from the band has nothing to do with any familial issues with his brother, but that he has decided to leave the band for personal reasons. Beyond that, he wishes to remain quiet at the time and asks that his privacy be respected.

Earlier in the week, his brother, Doc Coyles released a statement as well, stating that there was a disagreement and that Dallas says that he doesn’t want to tour anymore. They’ve recruited former Darkest Hour guitarist Kris Norris to fill Dallas’ shoes for their tour. All I can really say to all of this is; Shit.

In the meantime we have a video teaser of God Forbid’s upcoming video for “War Of Attrition” from Mtv.

Lamb Of God Forbid: EarthsWrath News

Scott — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 14:01:47 +0000

A week later and as usual we have some chart and sales results for two great albums. We all expected Lamb Of God’s Wrath to sell well and sold well it did. I mean, it didn’t sell Slipknot or Metallica well, but it still did pretty good selling around 68k copies and landing the album in the #2 spot on the Billboard 200 charts, losing that number 1 spot to Taylor Swift. Sadly this is only about 5k more than they sold during the first week of Sacrament’s release. This could be attributed to the economy or the fact that the album leaked a month before it was scheduled to drop

God Forbid’s Earthsblood didn’t do so well, only selling about 5600 copies but still enough to land them on the Billboard 200 at # 110. I think once they get on tour with Lamb Of God and on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival people will hear this album and want it. Either that or people are just downloading the hell out of this album. Unfortunately God Forbid is subject to people hating them in forums and discrediting them, even using racist words against them. But you have to ignore all that and check out this album! Most metal fans that bought a cd last week probably opted for the Lamb Of God, which I can understand, but I will stand by my opinion that THIS album is better than Wrath. Forget all the metalcore labels and everything that surrounds this band and LISTEN-TO-THE-ALBUM! It’s heavy, it’s thrashy and it’s catchy. I don’t know how many times I have to say it, Earthsblood kills!

God Forbid’s Earthblood Is Out And It’s Awesome

Scott — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:30:24 +0000

Despite the bullshit you see around the web from comments in various blogs and message boards, the new God Forbid album is great. I really didn’t get in to this band until I bought God Forbi IV: The Constitution OF Treason and after hearing War Of Attrition from Earthsblood, I knew I had to have it. Either that or I’ve been visiting Metalsucks.net way too much and they have brainwashed me in to liking this band. All B.S. aside, even if you have never been in to God Forbid before, give this album a listen.

Scrap Metal Report 2/10/2009

Scott — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:15:57 +0000

A slight case of sleeplessness brings you this early edition of the Scrap Metal Report today. Just a few things to run down in the news.

God Forbid are streaming their entire new record, Earthsblood on their Myspace. Earthsblood sees it’s release on century Media on February 24th.

Hatebreed guitarist Sean Martin has decided to resign from his duties in the Connecticut hardcore band. No details on the circumstances of is decision but there doesn’t seem to be any bad blood. Original guitarist Wayne Lozinak will step back in to the band to fill Sean’s vacant spot.

Tool Guitarist Adam Jones and Bass player Justin Chancellor have started to write new material for the follow up to 2006’s 10,000 Days. No word yet on any estimated time frame for that release.

Iron Maiden’s last show of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008/’09 will be at Ft. Lauderdale Florida. This will close out this epic tour and will be the first time Maiden has played in Florida in 13 years.

Lastly, I have 2 pairs of tickets for Scion Rock Fest for February 28th in Atlanta, Georgia and only one request so far. I have to close this out at the end of the day, so if you want to go visit here and put your name in the hat.

Check back throughout the day for more updates.
