Bay Area Thrashers FORBIDDEN are back and will appear at this year’s Alcatraz Metal Festival in Belgium, August 11 – 13, 2023. Here’s an official statement from the band’s guitarist Craig Locicero: “First off, I did not see this coming. When FORBIDDEN quietly disbanded the second time in 2012, I figured it was over. While I always apply the “never say never” mantra to my life, Russ made it clear that he was completely finished with touring. My wingman and main dude from the conception of FORBIDDEN EVIL, Russ was my mentor and the guy who bought me beer when I was 15! I couldn’t imagine FORBIDDEN without him, so I had little hope of a future with FORBIDDEN. Today Russ is happily retired and living the sober life. I have nothing but love for that and him. Everyone needs to respect his wishes like we do. So then… fast forward 11 years after our last show, Bay Area vocal talent Norman Skinner walks in to help us rehearse and sing a few Thrash classics for the Bay Area Interthrashional set at Dynamo Metal Fest 2022. Whammo! That’s when it all happened by accident. Truly. Then it happens again when Norman sings ‘Chalice Of Blood’ on stage alongside WARBRINGER at the one Bay Area show of Bay Area Interthrashional. Holy fuck! We will go into detail thoroughly in the upcoming weeks. It’s an amazing and organic progression story to tell. I now can announce that alongside my brothers Matt Camacho (bass) and Steve Smyth (guitar) we are officially introducing Norman Skinner (vocals) and Chris Kontos (drums) to the FORBIDDEN family. As far as Kontos goes, he’s well known as one of the Bay’s very best and most respected drummers. Chris’s work in MACHINE HEAD and ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT alone are legendary. Historically he’s sat behind the kit in with EXODUS, DEATH ANGEL and TESTAMENT to name few. I’ve been lucky enough to play music with Chris in the past and present as well most recently with Punk legends THE BONELESS ONES. We work amazingly well together and have remained great friends for over 30 years. In a long line of amazing drummers… Bostaph, Jacobs, Hoglan, Hernandez and Horn… Kontos is the perfect fit for FORBIDDEN. Having 5 people all moving the same direction with enthusiasm and positivity. It’s all I’ve ever wanted with FORBIDDEN. Making the seemingly impossible, possible. This is not a reunion, it’s a rebirth.” For regular updates make sure to follow FORBIDDEN at www.facebook.com/forbiddenofficial

Haven’t you ever felt that since Covid, the world has become more and more surveillance oriented and peer pressure driven? We made this song to capture the update in the world. However, it is not a specific condemnation of any particular country or group. We deliberately try to construct a perspective that is abstract and metaphorical. The themes we deal with are heavy and dark, and they are filled with our own irony. But we hope the world will become a better place. We hope you enjoy the video.” For more DEFILED information check out www.facebook.com/defiled

MASS INSANITY is our baby, our hobby, we do it for ourselves and at our own pace, the break was needed, but the desire to create came back. We felt the hard way that the system was sick, that in the situation we found ourselves in, we were alone, without real help from the authorities. To express our feelings, we chose the song ‘System Fucked Up’ by the Punk Rock legend THE EXPLOITED, which is perfect for the occasion, let it be our manifesto against the people who robbed us and against the system that did not want to help us.” For all additional information please visit MASS INSANITY at www.facebook.com/massinsanity
