God Forbid is a metalcore band from New Brunswick, New Jersey which was formed in 1998. Building up a following in the late 1990's by touring with bands such as Cradle of Filth, Nile, and Candiria, their first full album Reject the Sickness was released by 9 Volt Records in 1999. This album received heavy rotation from WSOU-FM in the New York City area, and the band was subsequently signed to Century Media Records, releasing the album Determination in 2001. They played on the MTV2 Headbanger's Ball tour with Shadows Fall and Lamb of God. In 2004, they released Gone Forever, which increased their profile considerably. The next year, they released IV: Constitution of Treason, a concept album about the end of the world.
