BW&BK; has received the following press release:

GOD FORBID guitarist Doc Coyle appears along side his bandmates in the second issue of the gothic comic book series Eternal Descent, slated for publication this Fall. The issue features a storyline inspired by God Forbid's fourth studio album IV: Constitution of Treason and will be available at comic book stores worldwide, scheduled for release through Diamond Distribution during the 4th quarter of 2009. Llexi Leon, creator of the multi-media concept ETERNAL DESCENT, began approaching ESP artists late last year to create the Eternal Descent comic. The series is inspired by and features cameos from a host of iconic metal musicians. The initial launch issue is slated for late October, 2009 with the God Forbid issue released in November. The bands ATREYU, FIREWIND and STATIC X, among others, are also slated for upcoming cameo appearances in subsequent issues.

Llexi Leon began making noise in London, England in 2005. His highly intricate guitar style exhibits the many influences corralled to create his intense sound - from classical, flamenco, electronica, and ambient genres to the more prominent genres of rock and metal. All of these genres infused to one, Leon has built a cinematic metal fantasia with his music which has branched out to a comic book series. His main aspirations are bringing stories to life through escapism. He utilizes everyday events and his vivid imagination to drive him to create more avenues for his multimedia enterprise. To prove its tangibility, Leon, who is responsible for the basic concept artwork, storyboards, and character design/creation, has assembled a team of artists including:

Jason Metcalf: Pencils + Inks on Eternal Descent comics and Phantom single artwork. Talented and versatile artist has worked on Image comics titles such as The Darkness and Magdelena

Javier Tartaglia: Eternal Descent colourist, has provided stunning colouring work for many top Marvel comics titles.

Reiq: CD cover artwork. Fantasy illustrator and anime artist.

'Blond the colourist' : Comic book colourist, has provided stunning colouring work for many top titles, such as Ghost Rider, X-Men, City of Heroes, and Witchblade

Leon also began his own production company Incendium Records to release his first concept album "Losing Faith" and the EP The Phantom of the Opera. This fulfilled Leon's dream of having all Eternal Descent media developed with the utmost highest standards under one roof. Leon will soon begin recording his third CD release with producer Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, LED ZEPPELIN, KISS) at the helm.

Eternal Descent endorses ESP Guitars, Ovation Guitars, Kahler Tremelos, Ernie Ball Strings, and Coffin Case.
