IV: Constitution Of Treason

New Wave of American Heavy Metal bands got pretty ambitious around 2005, but while their peers were dealing with inner turmoil, New Jersey metalcore warriors God Forbid put together an apocalyptic concept piece based on one of the core tenets of humanity: those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, and people are really bad at learning.
