It is with great pride that Nuclear Blast proudly announces the signing of legendary Bay Area thrashers FORBIDDEN!
“We are very proud to announce that FORBIDDEN has signed to Nuclear
Blast Records! Ultimately, we all knew that there is NO better label in
the world to handle Metal and bring it to the masses with authority.
For the last year, we have been intensely working on our craft while
re-examining our past with a perspective we'd never had before. Our
vision is clear and we know exactly who and what we are today.
FORBIDDEN is in an amazing creative space and we can't wait for
everyone to hear it! We began recording on March 1st.We must thank Jaap Wagemaker and everyone else at Nuclear Blast for
making their enthusiasm known to us since we've committed to writing
this record. Also, there are so many other amazing friends that helped
us along the way and we appreciate everything you've done for us to get
FORBIDDEN back into a position of strength. If you feel in your bones
that you are one of them, then you definitely are! Thank you all so
much.” – Craig Locicero [guitars], Russ Anderson [vocals], Matt Camacho
[bass], Mark Hernandez [drums], and Steve Smyth [bass].Added Nuclear Blast A&R Manager Jaap Wagemaker: “We are totally
stoked to announce that FORBIDDEN has inked a deal with Nuclear
Blast!!! It is no secret that the staff of Nuclear Blast has a soft
spot for thrash metal! We all grew up here with classics such as
Forbidden Evil and Twisted into Form! I am sure you can imagine that we
were totally thrilled when we heard the news that FORBIDDEN were coming
back and after seeing them live several times since then and seeing
them doing a smoking rendition of ‘Twisted into Form’ it was totally
clear to us! FORBIDDEN needs a new home and that home is called Nuclear
Blast! This feeling became even bigger after Craig had sent us the 2
new songs last year!Needless to say that a dream is coming true! The future belongs to
FORBIDDEN and together with Nuclear Blast, we will bring the band back
on the metal map! What the future will bring? I cannot tell you ‘cause
it is….. FORBIDDEN!”
San Francisco’s FORBIDDEN debuted onto the worldwide scene with their
1988 Combat Records debut, Forbidden Evil, featuring artwork by Kent
Mathieu (Heathen/Exhorder/ Autopsy/Artillery). Thirteen years later,
they performed live at Chuck Billy & Chuck Schuldiner’s benefit
concert, Thrash Of The Titans, on August 11th, 2001 under their
demo-name FORBIDDEN EVIL.
