BW&BK; has received the following press release

New Jersey’s GOD FORBID, kick off their Chains Of Humanity Tour” tonight (January 5th) at The Webster Theater in Hartford, CT. This headlining package also features extreme metal titans GOATWHORE and MNEMIC, who are one of the most talked about new acts to hit the genre in recent years. The line-up is rounded out with ARSIS, THE HUMAN ABSTRACT (who will be on the tour from Jan 4th - 31st) and BYZANTINE (from February 1st - 18th).

This tour is God Forbid’s first headlining run in support of their latest album, IV: Constitution Of Treason, and they purposely chose to play smaller venues on this run to get more intimate with their fans.

Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals) states: “Unless some really big opportunities come our way, this will probably be the last US tour for the Constitution album cycle, so all the real GF fans should make that extra effort and find their way to a show in their area. We plan to put together a headlining set that will pummel everyone in attendance! We look forward to seeing you all soon.”

A new video for the track 'Chains Of Humanity' is currently being edited by David Brodsky (DIECAST, GWAR, THE RED CHORD). Look for it to make its online debut early next month. The group also have a newly designed website at www.godforbid1.com and have launched the first few episodes of God Forbid TV (GFTV) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSzzQ0ffIRc.
