Paul Bostaph will join the ranks alongside originating classic thrash legends Chuck Billy on vocals, Alex Skolnick on lead guitar, Eric Peterson on rhythm guitar and Greg Christian on bass.

Paul Bostaph will join the ranks alongside originating classic thrash legends Chuck Billy on vocals, Alex Skolnick on lead guitar, Eric Peterson on rhythm guitar and Greg Christian on bass.

Dark Fortress - Working On New Album
Dark Fortress have successfully finished the vocal recordings for their new album. At the moment guitarist V. Santura is working on the mix.
We hereby would like to seize the opportunity to clarify two things:
1. Our new frontman Morean is not the singer, but the guitarist of the band Noneuclid! The vocal styles of Noneuclid and Dark Fortress are actually quite different.
2. The forthcoming album, which initially was entitled "Scum", is now named "Eidolon". The musical compositions remained, but new lyrics and vocal lines have been written and arranged. "Eidolon" is a concept album which in its nine chapters describes the initiation, dehumanization and unearthly rebirth of a transcending soul by mirror magic and astral projection.
Furthermore, Dark Fortress are confirmed for Metalcamp Festival 2008 (04.-06. July 08) in Tolmin, Slovenia.

Craig Locicero stated , "We want to show everyone what we used to do was as relevant and powerful as anybody else of that era. The gravity of our influence is really dawning on us now and we're very humbled. We owe it in turn back to those who supported our influenced us in the past. We'll be concentrating mostly on Forbidden Evil and Twisted Into Form material to give the people what they want. The time is right and it's gonna be a lot of fun. 2008 will also be the 20th anniversary for the release Forbidden Evil. It'll be VERY HEAVY and we're all excited to get started."
Added drummer Paul Bostaph (ex-Slayer, Testament): "Though out the years I've been asked about Forbidden by many people. Fans and friends alike have been wanting to see us play live again. I'm very happy to see this become a reality! I've been honored to play in some great bands. To play with Craig, Glenn, Matt and Russ (a truly great vocalist) again will be a longtime wish come true. I hope Forbidden fans get a kick outta this as much as I will!"
Forbidden is looking to book one Bay Area show for late January early February and look into some festivals in Europe, Japan and Australia starting in late May. These will all be exclusive gigs and there are no plans for a full-fledged tour, at least not in the immediate future. Locicero says, "We'll put our blood and guts into it and give it all we've got! Get ready to have your heads ripped off, motherfuckers!!!"
