Their style is different than the styles presented by other, popular metalcore bands: God Forbid's influences are deep-rooted in thrash metal. Building up a following in the late 1990s 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 Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and Lamb of God. In 2004, they released Gone Forever, which helped increase their status considerably. They supported Machine Head along with Caliban in Nov/Dec of 2004 in the UK. The next year, they released IV: Constitution of Treason, a concept album about the end of the world. In 2005-2006 they supported Trivium on their UK tour along with Mendeed & Bloodsimple.
In 2009, they released a brand-new album, Earthsblood. To promote this album, they went on a tour with August Burns Red, DevilDriver and Anthrax.
A Few Good Men
God Forbid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forced to suffer, beg, and plead
God help me in this time of need
Life is fragile, it's here and gone
The ones we use to love have all moved on
Waking to a rising sun, a new day has begun
Under this blue sky, we give it one more try
A few good men walk alone
Back into the breach we go. A few good men walk alone
Taking giant steps along the way
Turning my dreams into reality
Looking forward, but I can't step aside
Anonymous whispers will not die
Waking to a rising sun, a new day has begun
Under this blue sky, we give it one more try
A few good men walk alone
Back into the breach we go. A few good men walk alone.
Never, never, never
Go! Into the breach we go. A few good men walk alone
Into the breach we go. A few good men walk alone
