Forbidden - 'Mutually Assured Dysfunction' (official music video)
Welcome to this approved state of madness
Where meaningless rhetoric’s on the rise
Quick sign up now, while we’re still allowed
A fire sale on pretext and disorder
Words ringing empty in this land of plenty
Bias, exaggeration, the unforgiving expectation
Human nature burned in effigy
Take your turn, another verbal shootout
Self-importance and status the prize
True to the cause, ignore the cost
There’s no way to save yourself if you’re burning it all down
Into the mouths of lions we will stride
Eyes wide shut we happily abide
Blurring lines between told truths and lies
Mutually assured dysfunction
Mutually assured dysfunction
Both side’s committed
Absurd atrocities, until unhidden
The Never-changing
Only the puppeteer is laughing now
It’s the hypocrite who’s first to point out
Only the fires they did not light
Who’s fault this time? Relabeled crime
Ignore the stones raining down on your glass house
Words ringing empty in this land of plenty
Bias, exaggeration, the unforgiving expectation
Into the mouths of lions we will stride
Eyes wide shut we happily abide
Blurring lines between told truths and lies
Mutually assured dysfunction
Mutually assured dysfunction
Mutually assured destruction

Σημάδια δισκογραφικής... "ζωής" από τους Forbidden μετά από δεκαπέντε χρόνια (τυπικά δέκα, αν συνυπολογίσουμε και την συλλογή "The Bloody Birth" του 2015)! Αρχικά ήταν το single "Divided by Zero" που κυκλοφόρησε το περασμένο καλοκαίρι (26 Ιουνίου 2025) και πλέον βρίσκεται εκεί έξω και ο διάδοχός του ("Mutually Assured Dysfunction").
Η Αμερικάνικη μπάντα υπάρχει στο μουσικό σύμπαν από το 1985 (τα πρώτα χρόνια ως Forbidden Evil) και έχει κυκλοφορήσει πέντε "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (με πλέον πρόσφατο το album "Omega Wave" που "βγήκε" το 2010), δύο συλλογές, οκτώ demos και τρία singles...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Mutually Assured Dysfunction is our aggressive follow-up to Divided By Zero. Like a hook to the brain, it lands hard.
It’s about the DNA of endless arguments that our world leaders engage in. Sound bites over substance.
This rationale is based upon the M.A.D. agreement of Rational Actors: A doctrine that assumes world leaders will be rational and self-preserving.
Therefore, they will avoid any actions that would lead to their own country's demise.
This leap of faith leads to the kind of dysfunction that will ultimately lead to our destruction as a species.»
