As part of Covering 20 Years Of Extremes, a special compilation 2 CD celebrating Century Media Record’s 20th anniversary, GOD FORBID has recorded a cover version of the song 'Master Killer', originally by legendary NYC metal/hardcore crossover band MERAUDER.

Here’s what Doc Coyle has to say about the track: “Merauder was one of the first CM bands we collectively got into. Although we're a metal band, we came up in the hardcore scene, so covering Merauder really honored our roots! They were an under exposed band, so we hope to shed light to those who don't know and pay respects to the die hards who've appreciated Merauder all these years. I think people will enjoy this tribute."

Century Media will share tracks from this special release, which is available now in Europe and the US, with you in weekly turns until the end of the year, so listen to God Forbid’s version of 'Master Killer' here.

God Forbid have finished the recordings for their follow-up to IV: The Constitution Of Treason (2005), which is expected to surface in February 2009.

The new album was produced by Eric Rachel (ATREYU, THE RED CHORD) with Christian Olde Wolbers (FEAR FACTORY, THREAT SIGNAL) handling all vocal tracking and Jens Bogren (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, SOILWORK, KATATONIA, SYMPHONY X) taking over mixing duties at Fascination Street Studios in Orebro, Sweden. In 2009 God Forbid shall triumphantly return with their most mature and diverse effort to date that will easily position them as of one the most innovative bands within the genre.
