Forsaken At The Gates is FORBIDDEN's new thrash anthem for the 2010's and beyond, commented guitarist Craig Locicero. If we could go back in a time machine to when we called it a day in 1997, there still would have been no way that we could have written Forsaken back then. We needed the distance and hind-site to write this record and had to get a grip on what the hell FORBIDDEN was all about when we started. Our vision is clear. We are a Thrash Metal band! Forsaken At The Gates says it all.
If I were to compare Forsaken At The Gates to any of our old songs, it would be March Into Fire, which was one of the first songs that I'd ever written in my life. Ironically, Forsaken was the last song we'd written for Omega Wave. Funny how things work.
The main line of the song says Corpses laid out for the Rapture, New World Order buried in it's tomb. In other words, if the surface isn't worth living on and the powers that be decide who lives in a canned air bunker for future generations to come...let them rot down there, that's not a world worth living in!
Omega Wave, FORBIDDENs fifth studio album after a 13-year recording hiatus, will be released in late October. It was recorded at Sonic Room/Audio Voyage Studios in Livermore, California, produced by FORBIDDEN guitarist / songwriter Craig Locicero with Tim Narducci, and mixed by Sean Beavan (Slayer, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails).
