God Forbid<\/a><\/strong> is one of the many fantastic bands set for Metal Injection Festival 2024 (tickets here<\/a>), happening September 21 and 22 at the Brooklyn Monarch and Meadows in Brooklyn, NY.<\/p>\n God Forbid<\/a><\/strong> will celebrate 20 years of their record Gone Forever<\/em> at the festival, meaning the band is gonna have to dig deep and play some songs they haven’t in a while\u2026 but they have played them all.<\/p>\n “We’ve played every single one of those songs live, so it’s not that big of a stretch to play all of them,” said God Forbid<\/a><\/strong> guitarist Doc Coyle<\/strong>. “Same thing with Constitution Of Treason<\/em> \u2013 those two albums are our most popular ones and they’re built to be played live. It’s been 20 years and these are albums that people really care about.”<\/p>\n “We were a band that was always a little insecure with our place in the metal world. A lot of times we didn’t feel that successful \u2013 it was always very up and down. To have these moments like playing Gone Forever<\/em> is something special.”<\/p>\n So which songs is Coyle<\/strong> looking forward to playing the most? Well, there are two you definitely know and one you might not (if they get to it). “‘Judge The Blood’ was always one of my favorite songs. ‘Soul Engraved’ is one that we haven’t played in a really long time, too. It’s a heavy ass groove metal song. There’s also a B-side called ‘Allegiance’ that I think we’re gonna try to play.”<\/p>\n
