GOD FORBID CAN’T STOP “THE RAIN” (AND WE WOULDN’T WANT THEM TO)

God Forbid have posted a new song from their forthcoming album Earthsblood, entitled “The Rain,” on their MySpace page. Guitarist Doc Coyle has this to say about it:

“So ‘The Rain’ is the first official offering from Earthsblood as the ‘Empire of the Gun’ teaser released for a few short days in October was neither a final mix or master. This was one of the first songs completed in the writing process, and the first song performed live as I’m sure many fans saw us play it on the Death Angel tour. Those who heard it live or saw the bootleg footage online will notice the evolution with the song vocally. With a significantly darker and intense tone than Constitution and noted, new, black metal influence, ‘The Rain’ sets an accurate tone of the statement this album makes about our intention to keep core elements of our sound while not being afraid to expand the palette and venture into new musical territory. Enjoy the metal!”

It’s a kick-ass song – and it’s not even close to being our favorite off of Earthsblood.

Century will release Earthsblood in the US on February 24 and in Europe on February 16.
