5.0 out of 5 stars An epic album, in every way possible., April 13, 2004

When you watch a band from the very beginning, you hope and dream of what they can do as a band. With the release of "Gone Forever," God Forbid approach near perfection in the world of hard rock and metal. They have now, simply put, placed themselves in the elite of today as well as becoming one of the brighest hopes of tomorrow.

On "Gone Forever," there's not a momentum breaking track on the album; the sequence is simply outstanding. The album balances its peaks and valleys with near precision until you are left pounded to the turf by "Judge the Blood" and its crushing fade-out. This is the kind of detailed thought that went into this album, and it pays off many times over.

To listen to this album in your car or on headphones is a treat like no other. You can put on nearly every heavy record of the last few years and feel the difference Eric Rachel, Trax East Studio and the Brothers Coyle made on this album. It is a sonic monster that pounds its soul right into yours with every listen. And to bring all the great sounds and performances together, the band called upon Colin Richardson (Carcass, you name it...) to handle the mix. This proved to be the perfect compliment as Colin helped put it all together into one powerful wall of sound. It's got the old school vibe presented in the new school way and sometimes the stereo just can't get loud enough for this album. It's that good.

Overall, the performances and writing here are beyond top notch; they are creatively written, well-thought out, energetic and reaking of talent. To know the leaps and bounds God Forbid made on this record is to not only embrace the moment, but it has many of us lining up for what they have in store for the world the next time around.

These guys are scary good. Check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witness the Forbidden Ones, March 25, 2005

This review is from: Gone Forever (Audio CD)

Now I have a really big CD collection, and I can stack many bands better than this one. But God Forbid is now among my favorite new bands with this incredible album Gone Forever. Of course the main tracks that make this bad boy great are "Antihero" and "Gone Forever", but the album goes way beyond. "Force-Fed" is a nice opening song with a fast tempo to a catchy chorus. And "Better Days" is a nice track following "Antihero", the way the track is put together is awesome. The rest of the songs are really great, and if more God Forbid albums are like "Gone Forever", God Forbid could be one of the greatest bands of all.

God Forbid, these guys kick mayor whiplash!!!!!

This review is from: Gone Forever (Audio CD)

This album rules it's so overlooked i think it was album of the year for 2004 the breakdowns are more complex and enduring then unearths or lamb of god .. while the solos Dallas and Doc Coyle are also very intresting a great duo brutal drums from Corey Pierce and great layered vocals from byron davis... over all these guys all bring there goods to the table here to make God FOrbid have a real distinct sound and a advantage over the other guys

tracks

1) Force Fed - a well rounded song great breakdown and solos great opener 10/10

2) Antihero - awesomely brutal with great solo only 1 minute into song - 11/10

3)Better Days - greats riffs brutal drums the sing - along song for this album for sure - 10/10

4)Precious Lie - another well rounded one probably the softest song overall on this album 9/10 - just because it doesn't quite match up to the rest of the album

5) Washed out World -HERE IT IS GREAT SLOW THRASHER WITH ONE OF THE BEST BREAKDOWNS IN A WHILE 12/10
metal!
6) Living Nightmare - brutal thrasher basher probably the most head banging track here 11/10

7)Soul Engraved - God Forbid works with a different vocalist to make a powerful chorus here while still sticking to their sound its awesome listen to the solo fading out at the end by guest soloist jeff loomis it rules -10/10

8-Gone forever title track for the album one of the best songs just listen 10/10

9- judge the blood heavy riffs chorus and soft keyboard intro great layered vocals again ..a great overall representation of the album 11/10

pick this album up if you havn't already and show your support if you like trash death old stuff black metal - -- its all here just give it a try best album of 04
