Forbidden guitarist Craig Locicero recently checked in with the following update:
“Hello, Forbidden People! We want to share with you that we’re deep in our writing pre-production process presently. At this point, Chris Kontos, Matt Camacho and myself spend a few night a week banging out the details and we try new arrangement ideas to improve what’s already there. Norman comes down one day a week with new melodies, lyrics and more arranges suggestions.
Dan Mongrain and I spend a few hours each week on WhatsApp going over the riffs, also adding and subtracting to the arrangements. He’s been absolutely fantastic to work with and a great sounding board for suggestions. In a weird way, this is as tight of a writing circle that Forbidden’s ever had. Lots of listening and open minded trying of new things.
We’re going into Shark Bite Studio with Zack Ohren to record and engineer the first three songs next week. Once those are recorded, Dan adds his parts (that we’ve been working through) from Quebec. Next, we get Norm in the studio to knock out the vocals as we slingshot solos and overdubs. There’s some pretty grandiose stuff going on with his parts. We’re very impressed with his material and work ethic.
This record is going to be produced by myself with assistance from Kontos, Mongrain & Ohren. Who mixes it is still a bit up on the air. We have some world class mixers that are willing to test mix a song each. We’ll see how that lands.
Very exciting times with so much inspiration to draw from.”
The band has followed up with photos from the studio, a few of which can be viewed below. To see the complete photo galleries go to Instagram or Facebook.
