Forbidden check in from the studio

After a thirteen-year hiatus, San Francisco's FORBIDDEN are currently at Sonic Room Studios in Livermore, California to record their as-yet-untitled fifth studio album. They have issued the following update:

"Hey Everyone,

It's time again for the once a week studio update. This one will be our last drum installment. Next week will be all about guitar! Until then, we gotta get to work...

March 4th:
Another great day with no real issues to speak of. Three more songs in the bag! We were crushing through it by then! Once we finished that night, Girardo from Nuclear Blast came out to meet us. We just talked about metal for about 4 hours. Seriously felt like I've known him for eons. It was very cool and I felt like we made a great decision! We also watched the documentary part of the EXODUS DVD. That was great! Fucking A if Gary and Tom are not on Fire! The whole band is, but those two are my role models for this genre! Get 'em fuckers!!! It's funny, Girardo was there all that time, and we didn't play him a thing. Dicks!

March 5th:
This was the day we slayed the last two songs. The first one is the fastest Forbidden song I've ever played. Thought my arm was gonna go on strike! And I had the easy part, Mark was over the top, really great stuff in this one. I have not named any songs for you so far, but I will tell you this one is called 'Forsaken At The Gates'. It was the last tune we wrote before we came down South. A burner for sure! Brings back my March Into Fire memories of how we used to do things, but much better. One last song in which Tim had Mark experiment with his snare turning it off and on all over the song. Sounded awesome!"
