FORBIDDEN is rumored to be in talks with Nuclear Blast Records about recording a new studio album for the label. The proposed deal would also include the release of a new full-length live album, to be recorded on the band's upcoming European tour.

FORBIDDEN's last studio album, "Green", was released in 1997 on the G.U.N. label.
