| Monday, May 3, 2010 - Forbidden Confirm New Album Title | Reactivated San Francisco Bay Area thrashers Forbidden continue their work at Sonic Room/Audio Voyage Studios in Livermore, California recording their upcoming new album Omega Wave. Album artwork will be provided by Kent Mathieu (Forbidden, Exodus, Autopsy).
The album is being produced by Forbidden guitarist / songwriter Craig Locicero and Tim Narducci. All tracks will be mixed by Sean Beavan (Slayer, Nine Inch Nails)
States Locicero commented: "After a year of writing and a couple of months recording this son of a bitchin' album, we've finally decided to call it Omega Wave. It certainly would have been easy to self-title it, but anyone who knows anything about Forbidden and our history understands that we spend a considerable amount of time thinking about these things. That's just what we do. Omega Wave seemed most fitting and it's one of the thrashiest songs on the record! An 'omega wave' is the feeling of impending doom that hangs over everyone in these difficult times, more so than any other era in history. Many feel that our time is almost up, partly because it has been written and predicted in almost every ancient society; also because most people can tell which way the wind is blowing, if you know what I mean. So the question is, is this all really happening by design or is it a self-fulfilled, man-made hysteria that we are creating by accepting it in our collective consciousness? Either way, it's a black wave of negative energy that exists to billions of people. That is the Omega Wave."
On why the band sought out the artist Forbidden's career began with:
"Within the last few months, we've reconnected with the original artist who painted the artwork for our first two albums, Forbidden Evil and Twisted Into Form: Kent Mathieu. I love the work he's done with everyone, but there is no denying that the first two covers he did for Forbidden are a couple of the most iconic pieces for our genre. Getting Kent on board was a coupe and he gets us like no other artist could. He's got a pile of lyrics to inspire him and he fully understands the Omega Wave concept. I can't wait to see what he comes up with. Should be perfect!"
Song titles for Omega Wave are as follows:
Alpha Century
Forsaken At The Gates
Swine
Immortal Wounds
Hopenosis
Adapt Or Die
Inhuman Race
Behind The Mask
Dragging My Casket
Overthrow

Check out the history books. Look no further back than the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nuclear war appeared inevitable.
Want more examples, just let me know.

Comments: 40 | | Brian, I was thinking the same thing exactly! How about the time after World War II, where the whole world was in shock over all the despicable things mankind can do. Plus, as you say, countless other exaples thorough history.
On another note, a new Fobidden album sounds awesome! :-) Great band!

Seriously though, I reckon you could perhaps have got away with saying that in the couple of years following 9/11, with paranoia and mistrust rife and terror levels being jacked up left, right and center for no apparent reason but these days, riding out the end of an economic downturn, you would like to think the future is a little brighter.
