Multi-cultural metal wizards God Forbid, whose mercilessly evil thrash skills and haunting vocals have put them head-to-head with tour-mates like GWAR, Cradle of Filth and Mushroomhead, have just unveiled the wickedly beautiful cover art and track listing for their upcoming fifth album Earthsblood, which is slated for release on February 24th.
Guitarist Doc Coyle was so taken with the concept designs by Brazilian artist Gustavo Sazes that he felt compelled to blog about it. “This is my favorite God Forbid album artwork to date,” he proclaimed. “For Earthsblood, we thought it would be great to go with someone who isn't one of the usual suspects for album design in modern metal... [Sazes] fully captures the dark and organic, yet emotional atmosphere of the album.”
Sazes' art also graces the band's website and MySpace – where you can also listen to the album's first single “The Rain,” which the band has already been performing live on their summer 2008 tour with reunited thrash titans Death Angel.
Here's the track listing for Earthsblood:
“The Discovery”
“The Rain”
“Empire of the Gun”
“War of Attrition”
“The New Clear”
“Shallow”
“Walk Alone”
“Bat the Angels”
“Earthsblood”
“Gaia (The Vultures)”
