GOD FORBID Forced To Cancel HEAVY MTL Appearance

Due to reasons beyond the band’s control, New Brunswick, New Jersey’s melodic, thrash-metal warriors GOD FORBID have been forced to cancel their appearance at this year’s edition of the Heavy MTL festival, set to take place this weekend (August 11-12) at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

GOD FORBID guitarist/vocalist Doc Coyle had a bag containing his passport stolen from the band’s dressing room when they performed in San Antonio, Texas on July 27 as part of the Trespass America tour. According to Coyle, the “beat-up Swiss Gear backpack” also contained his “MacBook pro laptop, iPod, hard drive, headphones, toiletries, etc.” He added, “I do everything with my computer. Communicate, create music. This sucks big time, but it’s just stuff. I am lucky I have my health. So many are less fortunate.”
