A new GOD FORBID track, “Chains of Humanity,” has been posted online here. The blistering first single comes from IV: Constitution of Treason, the group’s fourth full-length album, which is set for a September 20th release. A video for the track was shot earlier this month with up and coming director Eric Shamlin that effectively captures the lyrical darkness and the apocalyptic nature of the album’s concept. Look for the clip on Fuse and MTV2 close to the album’s release.
Produced by Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM) and Eric Rachel, the album – a socially and politically charged vision of a post-apocalyptic world – further displays the incredible creativity and talent of one of the most highly respected bands in metal today. A limited edition dual-disc version will also be available featuring, in addition to the album itself, The Act of Treason; an exclusive, making-of-the-album, behind-the-scenes documentary featuring band interviews and tons of in-studio footage that takes you from rehearsals to pre-production all the way to the mastering of IV: Constitution of Treason.
GOD FORBID will kick off the new album’s touring cycle on the massive Decibel Magazine sponsored Fury of The Fall U.S. trek alongside MESHUGGAH, THE HAUNTED and MNEMIC on October 1st; look below for the tour’s complete itinerary.
