Bay Area thrash metal icons Forbidden sat down with Chasta and Baby Huey from 107.7 The Bone backstage at Aftershock Festival to talk about their return, new music, and the creative energy driving their next chapter. The band discussed their upcoming album plans, touring in Colombia, and how today’s music scene has evolved since their early days.
They also shared stories about their history with The Metal Zone and paid tribute to Billy Steel, the Bay Area radio legend who championed them early on. Between laughs about football rivalries and nostalgia for the old-school scene, Forbidden made it clear—they’re still pushing forward with the same fire that defined Bay Area metal.
