Forbidden Release Pro-Shot Chicago Show Footage from Chaos By Design Tour

FORBIDDEN have released a professionally filmed pro-shot video of their October 30 performance at Reggies in Chicago, Illinois. The set captures a blistering 15-track live showcase, including new material and deep cuts from their discography, spanning from "Infinite" to the closing "Chalice of Blood".

The footage serves as a mid-tour highlight for the "Chaos By Design" US run, which sees the San Francisco Bay Area thrashers touring alongside HEATHEN and VOID. The tour has been notable for the temporary recruitment of Avery Thurman on bass and Eli Lucas on drums. These additions come as regular members Matt Camacho and Chris Kontos sit out the fall 2026 run due to personal commitments.

The intention is they come back as soon as they can. And that's already started to happen.

Guitarist Craig Locicero has defended the lineup shift, praising the newcomers as "phenomenal" and "hungry" additions. Locicero noted that while fans might have expected to be "bummed" by the absence of long-term members, the quality of the touring unit has won over the audience. The current tour cycle follows the October 23 release of the band's self-titled album via BLKIIBLK, marking their first major output since 2010's "Omega Wave".
