Forbidden will play their autumn United States tour with Heathen and Void without bassist Matt Camacho and drummer Chris Kontos. The run starts on 23 October.
The band said both are absent for personal reasons and asked that their privacy be respected. Avery Thurman takes the bass and Eli Lucas the drums for the tour, and the band say the set has been rehearsed with them for several weeks. Lucas was the runner-up in the international drummer search Forbidden ran in 2011, when the seat went to Sasha Horn.
Camacho and Kontos are expected back in 2027. The band have a full slate of touring booked behind their first new album in sixteen years, and both played on it.
