FORBIDDEN Guitarist: 'We WILL Deliver The Goods!'

February 6, 2008

Guitarist Craig Locicero of the reunited San Franciso Bay Area metallers FORBIDDEN has issued the following update:

"First off, we have a couple of new warm-up gigs that we've added. February 22 in Chico at Lost on Main and February 23 in Livermore at Burnin' Burro Studios.

"Chico is always a great place to have a gig and they're hungry for some old-school thrash! This will be the first FORBIDDEN show in over 12 years. That's a pretty good reason to come on out!

"The show in Livermore is our 'secret gig' we've been waiting to announce. Consider it announced! The Burnin' Burro holds less then 200 heads and you can get tickets at www.ticketweb.com, so you'd better hurry if you want to be there. It'll be a chance for some of the people in the Bay Area to catch us in a smaller setting as we get ready for the big two night stand at Slim's with DEATH ANGEL. Plus, we'll be meeting with the fans after the show for shakin' babies and kissin' hands!

"On the practice front...HOLY SHIT!!! Things are coming together great. [Drummer] Gene [Hoglan; STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DARK ANGEL, TESTAMENT, DEATH] has been crushing and it's a seamless transition for all of us. Everything sounds really good so far. We're building up the set into 16 songs spanning all four albums. The first two are the focal point, but the material from the last two sound very, very heavy! I can confidently say that we should not disappoint anybody unless they've already made up their minds that it's going to be a disappointment. And even they will be left eating their hats!

"Our intent is to go out there and have fun kicking the shit out of anyone within ear-shot of us. We WILL deliver the goods!"

Upcoming FORBIDDEN shows:

Feb. 22 - Lost On Main - Chico, California
Feb. 23 - Burning Burro Studios - Livermore, California
Feb. 24 - the Fat Cat - Modesto
Feb. 28 - Slim's - San Francisco, California (w/ DEATH ANGEL)
