October 23, 2008

Reactivated San Francisco Bay Area thrashers FORBIDDEN have been confirmed for next year's installment of the Rock Hard festival, set to take place May 29-31, 2009 at the Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

ANGEL WITCH
AUDREY HORNE
BULLET
CHILDREN OF BODOM
FIREWIND
FORBIDDEN
GRAND MAGUS
HAIL OF BULLETS
JAG PANZER
JON OLIVA'S PAIN

Recent photos of FORBIDDEN have been posted online at this location.

FORBIDDEN was rejoined by drummer Paul Bostaph (TESTAMENT, SLAYER, EXODUS) for a couple of songs during the band September 12 Slim's concert in San Francisco. It was the first time in over 15 years that the all-original FORBIDDEN EVIL (pre-FORBIDDEN) lineup played together.

FORBIDDEN's new drummer is Mark Hernandez, who has previously played with HEATHEN, DEFIANCE, RE:IGNITION, VIO-LENCE, TORQUE, TECHNOCRACY and SOCIAL UNREST.

The band's last studio LP, "Green", was released in 1997 on the G.U.N. label.

Professionally filmed video footage of FORBIDDEN's June 28, 2008 performance at the Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium can be viewed below (clip uploaded by YouTube user "Sebastos1").
