God Forbid To Begin Writing New Album

by | Apr 9, 2010

God Forbid will begin work on a new album. Guitarist Doc Coyle comments:

“Now we immerse ourselves back in the writing process for the next God Forbid album for an unknown record label as our contact with Century Media has ended. It’s always difficult to tell how a new album will sound this early in the process, but I can say that our new guitar player Matt Wicklund is contributing tons of material. His stuff is very hook oriented with a Scandinavian twinge. The stuff I’ve been writing has been varied from evil Morbid Angels, black metal shit to mid tempo/power groove Machine Head type stuff, and signature GF material that is a logical progression from our previous albums. The process has changed with all of the touring and space between members, there’s been more writing and demoing on our own. I’m finally utilizing technology. It’s cool. I like it a little more than recording my out of time riffs into a tape recorder with my old Peavey practice amp. Now it’s Garageband, Line 6 tone port and EZ Drummer. I may yet still become a professional.”
