Forbidden Completes Work On New Material

American thrash metal veterans Forbidden has confirmed that they have finished writing new material for their first new studio album in thirteen years. A message from guitarist Craig Locicero reads as follows:

"Hey Everyone. As some of you may already know, my blogs can get a bit long winded. So I'll do my best to keep it short here. Ughhhh!!!

"The last few months have been filled with music like no other time in my life. No longer will I feel that I have to put all of the eggs in one basket. There are too many talented people and too much creativity out there to sit around and wait for anything. But the hardest part is holding it back. You want to let people hear it when you know how cool the stuff is. But that's just the business part of things.

"Let's see, Forbidden finished recording and mixing our first new stuff in 13 years, we can't wait to unleash that!!! This is a huge monkey off of our backs and we feel great about it. I'll only say this for now, these are exactly the songs that needed to springboard us into the future. We will be posting 'Adapt Or Die' up on our MySpace page before our show at Slim's in San Francisco on August 22nd. That's next week. We promise!!! Much more on that as this week progresses."
