Forbidden, once known as Forbidden Evil released this album as thier debut. The line-up is legendary. Two amazing guitarists Alvelais and Locicero plays so excellent, even Alvelais was the replacement for Alex Skolnick after his departure from Testament. You can hear excellent riffing from these guys and awesome drumming from Bostaph. Unlike other thrash drummers, he uses the cymbals incredibly. The voice of Russ is in great shape. He sings so deep; sometimes too high pitched but fitting the style.

Forbidden Evil. Excellent riffing, great guitar solos, tempo changes... Everything is excellently arranged. There lots of riffs in all the songs and Russ's vocal lines are incredibly melodic compared to the other thrash singers. Forbbiden sounds like Testament at times, but they have a different touch. Forbidden is maybe the most technical thrash band came from Bay Area. By "zoplek"

The second full length studio album from Forbidden, Twisted Into Form, sees the band in a progressive mood; Taking their trademark Melodic Thrash metal style and applying a high dose of what fans thrash bands towards the end of the eighties decide to call `epic experimentation,' which essentially involved making songs longer, using varied tempos, occasional quieter moments and sometimes time signature shifts.

As with their debut album Forbidden Evil, the musicianship is still top quality with flailing tom fills, incredible guitar solos and lead breaks, often with dual guitar harmonies as well as soaring melodic vocals over pure and simple thrash metal riffing. Adding to this are some interesting progressive overtones to help the album stand out from the crowd.

Twisted into Form is the second album from San Francisco, California thrash metal band, Forbidden. It features one line-up change from their debut -- 1988's Forbidden Evil -- with Tim Calvert replacing Glen Alvelais on guitar. The result is a more melodic and progressive affair with many acoustic interludes and clearer production, but less of a raw edge than its predecessor.

The quality to their amazing debut album Forbidden Evil and has its own flavour by placing more of an emphasis on musicianship than on speed. Don't be fooled however, they loose none of their metal power or aggression in the process, resulting in an overall very strong record indeed. By Gentlegiantprog
