When FORBIDDEN broke up in 2012, guitarist and founder Craig Locicero believed for all intents and purposes, that the Thrash Metal act would never give it another go. What a difference a decade makes. FORBIDDEN has announced its return with new members and old faces in tow.

Norman Skinner of Power Metal acts NIVIANE and SKINNER is now in the vocalist position, with ex-MACHINE HEAD drummer Chris Kontos on the skins. Longtime bassist Matt Camacho is on board, as well as guitarist Steve Smyth, who appeared on the last FORBIDDEN studio album Omega Wave (2010).

FORBIDDEN is gearing up for their upcoming performance at the 2023 Alcatraz Festival in Kortrijk, Belgium, August 11-13th. I had the chance to catch up with founder Craig Locicero to find out more about the rebirth of FORBIDDEN.

Highlights include:

-The rebirth of the band
-What led to their 2012 disbandment
-Why vocalist Russ Anderson didn’t return
-Recruiting new singer Norman Skinner
-Convincing Chris Kontos to sign on
-Upcoming Alcatraz Festival appearance
-Future live shows
-New music plans
-35th anniversary of debut album Forbidden Evil
-Early recording & touring memories
-Craig’s contributions to Geoff Tate’s 2012 QUEENSRYCHE album Frequency Unknown
-What really led to multiple mixes of the album
-And much, much more
