The wait is finally over! Legendary Bay Area thrash band Forbidden has returned with a vengeance, unveiling their first new music in over 15 years.
The blistering new single “Divided By Zero” can be found below, though it’s probably and unfortunately paired with an AI-generated music video. Which just looks kinda doofy, as all AI-generated imagery does. Still, the video is credited to Ethan Renoe at Crumb Hill.
“The opening riff for ‘Divided By Zero’ was the first thing Craig [Locicero] brought to the table as a new Forbidden song,” said Forbidden of the single. The lyrics address the erosion of civility and society through divisive control of institutions, cultures, religion, and government. Without picking sides, ‘Divided By Zero’ points to anyone and everyone that partakes in this mass manipulation, willingly or unwittingly.”
“The video for ‘Divided By Zero’ is the stuff of dystopian nightmares, depicting how influential words and propaganda of the few have power to sway the many. ‘Robots and monsters — how most of us unwittingly end up being one or the other through the multiple institutions’ relentless brainwashing and beating us down. All of the disturbing imagery, created by Ethan Renoe at Crumb Hill, visually captures the story perfectly, haunting, powerful, and poignant.”
Forbidden in 2025 is guitarists Craig Locicero and Dan Mongrain (Martyr, Voivod), bassist Matt Camacho, drummer Chris Kontos (Machine Head, Testament).
