Continuing along the path set forth by their immensely popular previous effort 'Gone Forever', God Forbid deliver yet another compelling album that solidifies their position as one of the better metal outfits on the scene today. Production by Jason Suecof (Trivium) gives the music of God Forbid the punch that it deserves and the expert studio wizard also chips in axework on four tracks, including a ripping solo on 'Into The Wasteland.' The definite show-stopping track here is the highly tuneful, yet skull-bashing 'Chains Of Humanity', a track that binds Megadeth style guitar riffing with an intensely melodic chorus that is extremely ear-catching. Byron Davis' chants of 'Strength Beyond Strength' during the songs bridge resonate with a commanding force, a call to arms for young metalheads to rise up against the injustices of the world. God Forbid attack with supreme viscosity on 'Divinity', delivering a hell-hammering riff that pounds most other bands into the dirt as Davis lets loose with an unforgiving vocal onslaught. The crushing guitar tones that reside in songs like 'To The Fallen Hero' and the album's title track remain some of the heaviest tones to grace an album this year, courtesy of some of the best studio production that money can buy. One question remains at the end of the record – Is the band's bragging and the wall of hype that's behind this album in the media completely justified? That will be for the fans to decide September 20th.
