The following are excerpts from the second studio report written by Craig Locicero, guitarist/songwriter of the reunited Bay Area thrashersFORBIDDEN while the band was at Bombshelter Studios in downtown Los Angeles with owner Eric Kretz (drummer & founding member of Stone Temple Pilots):
March 4th - Three more songs in the bag! Once we finished that night, Gerardo [MartÃnez, Label Manager] 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. 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, Gerardo 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, [drummer] Mark [Hernandez] was over the top, really great stuff in this one… called “Forsaken At The Gates.” A burner for sure! Brings back my “March Into Fire” [a track off the Forbidden Evildebut album] memories of how we used to do things, but much better. One last song in which [producer] Tim Narducci had Markexperiment with his snare turning it off and on all over the song. Sounded awesome!
[P]roducer/mix GOD Sean Beavan [Marilyn Manson/Nine Inch Nails]… invited us to come out to see him in Hollywood...
