Metal Exiles' Jeffrey Easton has issued an interview with FORBIDDEN bassist Matt Camacho. The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Q: To start off with, how does it feel to have Forbidden recording and releasing a record almost 25 years after the start up of the band?

A: "Since we’ve been at it for a couple of years it feels like I’ve never left and seems like second nature. However, a couple of years ago I never imagined I would be back here, so I’m totally excited to go from working and college to a new release and a new tour. I do have that same anxious feeling just like when I was a young kid before the album Forbidden Evil came out."

Q: Considering the hiatuses of the band, what have you done musically besides Forbidden for the last decade?

A: "After Forbidden broke up, everyone continued playing music except for me. The other guys all did various other projects, Russ’s was more on the local bar level. Craig, Steve and Tim all went on to play in some popular bands. I was personally disillusioned with the music business and put way to many expectations on us getting the right tours and support from the record company rather than just doing what I do best and what I love and that’s playing metal. I spent a good part of a decade back in school. Now that that I’m back in Forbidden I’ve never felt happier and have no regrets and giving my heart and soul to Forbidden."
