New Jersey's GOD FORBID kick off The Monsters of Mayhem 2 Tour tonight (May 18th) as direct support to HATEBREED, with EVERGREEN TERRACE, THE ACACIA STRAIN and AFTER THE BURIAL in the support slots. The group will follow this up with three special headlining shows that successfully cap off the IV: Constitution Of Treason touring cycle.

See below for their complete touring itinerary and click here to view their new video for 'Chains Of Humanity', edited by David Brodsky (DIECAST, GWAR, THE RED CHORD).

Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals) checks in with the following report: “We are pretty fucking excited to hit the road with Hatebreed. They are some of our closest friends in this whole crazy business, and they always bring us on the road and help us out whenever possible. This is probably the 4th or 5th time we've toured together. We look forward to stealing their beer and crowding their bus. LOL. We have never toured with Evergreen Terrace, Terror, or The Acacia Strain but we have played one-off shows and festivals with them here and there all over the world. They are all cool dudes and good bands, and will certainly be tough to follow every night.

“This is going to be a sick tour, and it's probably the biggest thing we've done in a while so that should give you some idea of how pumped we are to annihilate the crowd nightly. We are the token heavy metal band on this one, so I hope the hardcore kids dig what we do. I have no doubts that the GF faithful will represent.

“We also filmed (Directed by David Brodsky) our most recent concert on the ‘Chains Of Humanity’ headlining U.S. Tour at the Starland Ballroom in our home, New Jersey. Eric Rachel, who co-produced the last two albums, recorded the concert audio and will also be mixing it. We’ve also decided to include a very in-depth documentary shot by our close friend Denise Korycki. Since this is our first DVD release, it's important to us to make this DVD as comprehensive and in depth as possible so that our fans feel like they get their money's worth and them some. We're going to work really hard to make this project incredible and worth of your DVD libraries. We promise that you will not be disappointed.”
