29.God Forbid-Earthsblood (2009)
God Forbid broke up in August 2013 after being the single most unheralded act in metalcore for almost 20 years. In a discography that is loaded with overlooked gems, their 2009 release Earthsblood stands out the most. Earthsblood saw God Forbid entering a more traditional melodic death metal territory than their previous four releases. Dallas Coyle was given more times to shine with his unique clean vocals, the riffs are consistently catchy and immense, and above all, the compositions are a lot more complex and memorable than anything they had done in the past. Earthsblood is the work of a veteran band that had a strong command over their sound and successful expanded it without ignoring their roots. I can only hope at some point in the near or distant future that this record and God Forbid on the whole will get the recognition they deserve. These guys are way too good to stay a relatively well-kept secret forever.
