Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals) states: “God Forbid has been kicking for ten years strong, and we are consistently blown away by how loyal our fans have been through our musical evolution. It's definitely time to give something back. The GF camp have been having some trouble coming up with a title for our upcoming DVD, so Dallas (guitars, vocals) thought it might a good idea to involve our faithful fans in our creative process by letting you name the DVD. Yes, YOU motherfucker! Put on your thinking caps and become part of God Forbid history.

“This contest will only be running for a week, and the grand prize winner will get their name listed in the DVD’s credits, receive an autographed copy of the DVD, an ESP/Cocaine Energy drink guitar and a case of cocaine energy drinks. The two runner ups will also receive a bunch of other awesome stuff. We're going to pick the top three and have everyone vote on the best title from there. We will announce the winner on January 28th. Good luck and let the games begin!”

Please send all DVD title submissions to mail@centurymedia.com and be sure to include your full name, age and mailing address. The contest runs through 12PM on Friday, January 25th.

Coyle further comments: “This is going to be a big year for God Forbid as we will be releasing our first ever DVD and our first new album since 2005. The DVD is pretty much done, except for the menus, and we still need a title. I've already mentioned how incredible the concert portion looks and sounds, but the band was fortunate enough to be able to screen the documentary portion, directed by Denise Korycki, and we were all blown away. It is a combination of historical insight, introspection into our personalities, social commentary and some god damn funny ass shit. I guess we were sick of being funny on other bands DVDs. If you consider yourself a true God Forbid fan, this DVD will be essential. I think this DVD ranks among the best metal DVDs on the market.

“In regards to the new album, we are a lot further along in the writing process. We have a few songs completed, and probably a dozen more in the works. So far the material is extremely varied. I can also say that Dallas and I have started using seven string guitars, so tonally there will be more variety.

"We will be heading into the studio at the beginning of March with our long-time producer and friend, Eric Rachel (ATREYU, IN THIS MOMENT) at Trax East. So the album we probably come out mid to late summer. Let's keep our fingers crossed on that front. We will also begin videotaping rehearsals and recording, and releasing some YouTube updates as the process continues. Keep your eyes and ears open for those. More news to follow soon”

Yeah, I have to agree with 2. God Forbid is a decent melodic deathcore band. We played a show with them and not a single scene kid was there so I don't know what you're talking about dave.

Panteradude shut the f*** up! I am not sure about the rest of the members, but I for one am getting sick and tired of every post you make being raceist. We get it little boy. You are an ignorant raceist. Now unless you have something to add to the convo then lets hear it, but shut the raceist crap up! I think God Forbid are o.k, but not the greatest. Though I do like the vocals.

I doubt that panteradude is really racist. He's probably just some stupid kid who thinks he's being funny. Most likely, he's also just recently discovered naughty language, and judging from the constant "420" thinks the two times he's tried pot with his little friends (stolen from their parents' stash, or bunk weed they bought with their allowance) makes him king of the f***in' playground.

God Forbid is heavy as hell, yet remain melodic. Coyle's vocals are awesome! A perfect voice to bring about destruction and mayhem. I met this band at ozzfest 2004- they are really cool guys. They are in no way - emo - what a moronic statement.

Panteradude, I think you fail to realize that you are a person on this planet too and just as findable. If you are not careful you could find the police at your door to arrest you if you keep it up.

O.k I am going to use a word I hardly ever use, but DUDE! GOD, that was an odd post. Maybe its time to re-evaluate somethings in your life? You know... Do the whole "soul searching" thing. By the posts you have made in the past it would not do any harm. Not trying to preach, but to make a suggestion.
