GOD FORBID guitarist Doc has issued the following update:

"What's the word friends? Doc from GF checking in once again. Alot has been going on in the God Forbid camp as always. First off, we can't seem to stay off the road. Haha. We'll be hitting up a 2 week west coast run with our good friends in DEVILDRIVER. We have been trying to set up something with them forever, but it never seems to work out. They are some of my personal favorite people in the metal scene, and they bring the thunder live. Mayhem and drunken antics shall ensue. I will look forward to it. SUICIDE SILENCE is on the tour as well, and they seem to be really turning alot of heads. Can't to play with them! We'll be doing our own headline shows to and from the Devildriver tour as it takes place almost entirely on the west coast. These shows have been put together kind of last minute so tell your friends to come out bitches! We're also playing the Gathering Of The Juggalos festival, and have been catching some flack for it on our myspace. Trust me, we were as suprised as you guys when we found out we were playing it, but ya gotta pay the bills. Driving across the country costs money. It's certainly not our cup of tea or comfort zone. Either way, it should interesting, and we'll see how we fit into that odd mix. White people rapping and black people playing metal. It'll be like an alternate universe.

While we've been home for the last few weeks working on the DVD and the new record. The audio for the DVD is done being mixed, and I have to say it sounds monstrous. Eric Rachel hit another home run. I love that guy! Dave Brodsky should start the editing process for the concert shortly, and I expect nothing but good things. We also filmed a bunch of interviews for the documentary, which I am sure will prove entertaining. Denise Korycki is working on the documentary, and she has a big task in front of her in regards to editing. She has every bit of footage ever shot of the band going back to 98 and 99. I am very interested in seeing what makes the cut. Hopefully, we can get it out this year, but we don't want to force it out until it's top notch. Let's keep our fingers crossed. We also started writing for the next GF cd. I can say it's going slow, but it's going. I'd love to get the record out next year, but no promises. We can't seem to stop touring, and the new record has to be a masterpiece or nothing at all. So I expect it to be a painstaking, heart wrenching process that hopefully we'll all survive. See you all on the other side. Peace."
