See the video here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/CcsJAKLa2XM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/CcsJAKLa2XM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s line-up includes guitarist George Harris, guitarist Tommy Gentry, bassist Matt Cox, drummer Jai Patel, and singer Matt \u201cMJ\u201d James.<\/p>\n<p>Rushing in on a scalding lead guitar riff, \u201cForgive &amp; Forget\u201d is a genre-defining, sonic stampede, upbeat and catchy, but bearing the band\u2019s signature ambition and heaviness. \u201cIt\u2019s about letting go of old demons and not letting unwanted memories shape your future,\u201d explains lead guitarist and songwriter George Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Conceived, produced, and directed by the band themselves the Tarantino-esque video was shot in the legendary Laredo Western Town. \u201cWe wanted to try something completely different with \u2018Forgive &amp; Forget\u2019\u201d, says singer Matt James. \u201cWe wanted to follow on from our two recent singles \u2018Serpents Tongue\u2019 and \u2018Parasite\u2019 with the horror vibe but with a spin\u2026 and to see how far we could push it! Cowboys and zombies definitely felt like something unique, and we found the perfect location to make it happen!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The band is pushing everything further than ever before. The choruses are made for arenas, the riffs are taut, direct and go straight for the jugular. The creative ambition on display in the video is also evident throughout the forthcoming album <em>Blood Omen<\/em> which will be out on July 7 via Music For Nations\/Sony Music and was produced by Matt Hyde (Slipknot, Machine Head, Bullet For My Valentine) with final mastering put into the hands of Mika Jussila at Finnvox (Nightwish, Children of Bodom, HIM).<\/p>\n<p><em>Blood Omen<\/em> is available on several formats including standard transparent red vinyl, standard jewel case CD, deluxe hardcover CD with exclusive artwork, and a deluxe LP version pressed on black and red splatter vinyl, housed in gatefold packaging, complete with additional and exclusive artwork. <em>Blood Omen<\/em> can be pre-ordered at The Raven Age <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theravenage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.theravenage.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Having established their name as one of the finest in modern metal thanks to two brilliant albums, <em>Conspiracy<\/em> in 2019 and their debut, <em>Darkness Will Rise<\/em> in 2017.
