There are three bands named FORBIDDEN.

1) Forbidden was part of the second wave of thrash metal bands which arose from the bay area thrash scene (along with Testament, Death Angel, Vio-Lence, etc.).

Through-out the 1980’s the thrash metal scene was bursting with talent and among the rhythmic collection a band that refused to be labeled in with the so called bay area sound. They were much more than just the next thrash band, they used odd signatures and melodies to create an original style all their own. Originally formed in 1985 as Forbidden Evil by vocalist Russ Anderson, guitarists Craig Locicero and Rob Flynn, bassist Matt Camacho, and drummer Paul Bostaph, in Hayward California Forbidden Evil forged an original style of metal that earned them praise by critics and bands alike. During this time they recorded the 1986 Demos “Endless Slaughter” and “Egypt Has Fallen”.

Their 1988 debut, Forbidden Evil, received largely favorable reviews and they set out on the road with fellow thrashers Exodus, Death Angel, and Testament. Forbidden then recorded a live EP at the 1989 Dynamo Festival in Eindhoven, entitled Raw Evil: Live at the Dynamo.

In 1990’s Twisted Into Form — another classic thrash album to go down in history.

    I got two Forbidden picks from the Santiago concerts! Hell Yeah! I remember when they played in Argentina a rodie asked me some joint for exchange of seeing them backstage... I was so fucking stoned that I did not understand what the rodie said and just let him smoke a bit just for the sake of being polite and didn't get backstage... I fucking hate myself for that...

    Nothing wrong with Omega Wave... Guess there are alot of grandpa's listening to Forbidden and can't live with the fact that Forbidden grew as a band. How in hell could they've released a second Twisted into Form of Forbidden Evil... Omega Wave is a very good album with outstanding songs...
