Forbidden guitarist Craig Locicero confirmed on Facebook that the band will enter Shark Bite Studio with Zack Ohren next week to begin tracking new material for their long-awaited follow-up to 2010's Omega Wave. The new record will be their debut with new singer Norman Skinner and drummer Chris Kontos, and will also include some guitar work by Dan Mongrain of Voivod.

Craig Locicero wrote: "Hello Forbidden People!

We want to share with you that we're deep in our writing pre-production process presently. At this point Chris Kontos, Matt Camacho & myself spend a few night a week banging out the details and we try new arrangement ideas to improve what's already there. Norman comes down one day a week with new melodies, lyrics and more arranges suggestions. Dan Mongrain & I spend a few hours each week on WhatsApp going over the riffs, also adding and subtracting to the arrangements. He's been absolutely fantastic to work with and a great sounding board for suggestions. In a weird way, this is as tight of a writing circle that Forbidden's ever had. Lots of listening and open minded trying of new things. We're going into Shark Bite Studio with Zack Ohren to record and engineer the first 3 songs next week. Once those are recorded, Dan adds his parts (that we've been working through) from Quebec. Next we get Norm in the studio to knock out the vocals as we slingshot solos and overdubs. There's some pretty grandiose stuff going on with his parts. We're very impressed with his material and work ethic. This record is going to be produced by myself with assistance from Kontos, Mongrain & Ohren. Who mixes it is still a bit up on the air. We have some world class mixers that are willing to test mix a song each. We'll see how that lands. Very exciting times with so much inspiration to draw from."

Really looking forward to hearing this and was sad to have missed their shows with Chewy last year. Fingers crossed they collectively bring it!
