GOD FORBID是支美國技術性旋律金屬樂隊。樂風快速不失邪惡感，猛烈不失旋律化，被認為是new wave of American death metal的代表樂隊之一。樂隊以Coyle兄弟為中心，這點上有點像ARCH ENEMY，其實這兩個分屬大洋兩岸的樂隊也是挺像的。樂隊的鼓很有特色，顆粒感強，雙踩快速均勻，而且節(jié)奏把握很準確。吉他RIFF段落清晰，節(jié)奏鮮明，有時候也會出現(xiàn)ARCH ENEMY那種兩把吉他對飆的SOLO ，顯示了Coyle高超的技巧 。貝司手John Outcalt手法老道，沉穩(wěn)利索。這個樂隊用了三個主唱，除了Byron Davis外，Coyle兄弟也參加了和聲和演唱。
別的樂隊聽起來硬核感覺十足，但是這個樂隊死亡感明顯。主唱還能用雙嗓，這是個黑人為主的樂隊，在金屬界也并不是很多見。
一個樂隊突然以一種全新的姿態(tài)展示在大眾的面前，然而這種改變是翻天覆地的。像一些空想家-Hatebreed, Meshuggah ，The Dillinger Escape Plan樂隊一樣，這個強大的樂隊——GOD FORBID將他們的音樂伸展至他們的極限，這當然離不開他們的不懈努力。這群酷愛運動衫的五個小伙成功地將他們的才華發(fā)揮到了極致。
1996 年這個團隊組成不久，專輯Out of Misery and Reject The Sickness標著小型獨立標簽9 Volt Records 被發(fā)行，這就使得God Forbid 刮起了一陣地下音樂狂潮。這個狂躁的聲音很快的就吸引了Century Media Records 的注意，然后一紙合約便浮上水面。

專輯介紹:
Gone Forever is the heavily anticipated follow-up to God Forbid's 2001 CD Determination. Since the release of that album, their Century Media debut, they moved up the ladder from being an opening act on several package tours to scoring a spot on the MTV Headbangers' Ball tour (with likeminded bands Shadows Fall and Lamb of God) and finally emerging as headliners in their own right. They come out with their guns blazing on this album, as opener "Force-Fed" throws everything they've got at the listener: racing Swedish death metal riffs, tightly synchronized dual-guitar leads ?la Carcass' Heartwork, "chugga-chugga" hardcore breakdowns, and a bloodletting of harsh, screaming vocals. It is an impressive, punishing song that comes at you from about five different directions. They proceed to do the same thing eight more times on the album, with only the brief quiet intros on "Precious Lie" and "Judge the Blood" offering any reprieve.

專輯介紹：
Never the most political of bands in their early years (like most hardcore-based metal bands, they trod a path marked by earnest but often unfocused, generalized social commentary), New Jersey's God Forbid appear ready to run for office with their fourth album, 2005's IV: Constitution of Treason. Or at least ready to tear the "office" down, judging by the album's incendiary lyrics foreseeing an apocalyptic new world disorder. Obviously imagined, but also rooted in grimly contemporary historical forecasts, their three-part, ten-song "Constitution" moves from worldwide nuclear destruction (no surprise there — see "The End of the World"), to a stone-aged aftermath ("The Lonely Dead" —not quite Mad Max, but close), to the emergence of an unlikely messiah-cum-martyr (not again! see "To the Fallen Hero"), and, finally, a gradual regeneration of "civilized" humanity possessing belief systems disturbingly similar to those of old (yes, again — see "Crucify Your Beliefs"). Through it all, suspension of disbelief definitely helps one get with the overwrought story line, but it's a boatload of inspired music that really cushions the passage, with the tracks named above as well as further highlights "Chains of Humanity," "Into the Wasteland," and the title cut proving among the most memorable and inventive of God Forbid's career. And if all of the above sounds eerily familiar to survivors of the original '80s thrash metal movement, these will be happy to know that the Coyle brothers' abundant deployment of jagged thrash metal riffing — as much as their apocalyptic subject matter — is in fact one of the album's greatest strengths. Besides perfectly offsetting the inevitable doses of melodic passages and alternating clean/screamed vocals typical of God Forbid and their metalcore generation, they help lend a timelessness to Constitution of Treason that any album should aspire to. And for a band that almost threw in the towel the year before, all of that makes this an even greater triumph.
