The are two 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.), and though full of promise early on, they never broke through like many predicted.
2) Hatecore band from USA.
1) Originally formed in 1985 as Forbidden Evil by vocalist Russ Anderson, guitarists Robb Flynn and Craig Locifero, bassist Matt Camacho, and drummer Paul Bostaph, the group slugged it out around the Bay Area club scene like hundreds of other up-and-coming garage bands inspired by thrash originators like Metallica… , Slayer, and especially Exodus. Flynn wouldn’t last long (going on to form Vio-Lence, then Machine Head), but with his replacement, Glen Alvelais, the band gradually built a following and eventually signed with Combat Records. 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. But unlike their friends Testament, who had successfully pulled off the same stunt two years earlier and solidified their footing with European audiences in the process, the record won them few new fans.
Guitarist Alvelais quit to join Testament shortly before the recording of 1990’s Twisted Into Form — a less inspired but more focused collection of technical thrash, which still failed to break new ground. Then, like many of their peers, Forbidden fell prey to the dwindling interest in thrash metal symptomatic of the early ’90s, and a 1992 best-of collection called Point Of No Return seemed like the end of the road.

Ah, I see. When it comes to Forbidden and Vio-Lence, they're two completely different bands. The guys in Forbidden are more technical skilled, while Vio-Lence is more in-your-face and thrashier, at least in my opinion. Both bands are great tho. Their two first albums slays!

Hatecore existed long before the deathcore trend. It has nothing to do with metal though.

Well, what I mean is that it seems like there's a core-genre for absolute everything. Just put a random word in front of 'core' and you have a new core-genre. There's something called 'crabcore' and 'whalecore'.. You also got this 'nintendocore' for example. Maybe I'm just ignorant, but it doesn't make sense to me.

I hope they decide to re-record the "Trapped"/"Disillusions" songs. I don't care if they include them on the new album or not, just make them available to people. At least do a remaster of the old demo tapes. Those songs deserve to be heard, and with proper audio quality!

Their 91-93 demo material contains their best songs. If groove metal didn't take over, the transition between 80's thrash and thrash-not-considered-thrash-for-whatever-reason like Nevermore would have been much smoother.

You're right, they aren't great..... THEY ARE FUCKING AWESOME! At least the first two albums.
