Looking back on this album fifteen years later, you can either laugh or cry, little did the band know what was to come.

God Forbid's fourth release is a concept album that saw the band embrace the topic of civilization collapse, re-emergence and inevitable collapse again. A noble idea and luckily one that doesn't get bogged down in exposition or tying its colours to a political mast. The band challenge themselves on this record and they manage to make a success of things, IV: Constitution Of Treason is a strong album, even if it wasn't a smash hit.

There are metalcore influences to be found here, but I think Constitution Of Treason is still a really competent modern thrash metal. The production I think is well above average when it comes to albums like this.

I reckon the '8' I've apparently given this might have to be nudged down if I ever gave this a re-listen, but I did like this album when I discovered it back in 2009 or whenever - Crucify Your Beliefs in partuclar is a banger of a closing song
