Wrong! Twisted Into Form is another masterpiece.And then its downhill

Most bands go downhill after their two or three first albums

I guess I can agree with that, but Twisted is not anywhere as good as their debut, IMO. Green and Distortion are for diehard fans. I enjoyed Russ' Parking Lot Prophets more than I did those last 2 Forbidden albums.

I like the cover art.

I haven't heard anything off of the album yet.

Agreed. If they took the best post-TiF demos plus the best of Distortion it would've been a good album. "Hypnotized by the Rhythm" is a great song.

FE:
Some left over Flynn riffs/aggression (which are better than ) +
Alvealis's solos (generally better than Calvert, although Calvert is good) +
Russ able to utilize his full range without having to tone it down to go with the times

Green is a killer album! Way different, but still great. And Distortion is really solid.

I heard a couple of songs from Forbidden evil on you tube. Excellent.

It's just that their albums are hard to find. I should look more

I'm really excited for this one.

In my opinion Twisted Into Form is their best, even though probably my favorite songs are from Forbidden Evil. I guess I just prefer Twisted as a whole.

TIF is their best album bar none it's leagues ahead of their debut. Infinite alone destroys anything on FE. I never understood the adoration for FE, yeah it's good but TIF is a masterpiece. One of the greatest thrash albums of all time.

Anyway, the cover art is pretty meh but i'm all about the music and if that's solid then I can overlook the shitty cover.

Hahaha its ok but it just looks boring. And that big skull looks like something from a Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt.

That's what I thought too. It's an ok cover I guess, but nothing blowing up my skirt. And it looks very slick and computer generated, even if they say it's not. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

New tune. Different from the classic stuff, but pretty killer!

It sounds great!

It wouldn't have mattered though, I probably would be buying the album anyway even if it sounded crappy. I've been waiting for this for so damn long!



Anyone catching them on tour this year? Evile, Gama Bomb, and Bonded by Blood are touring with them. Even if you're not a big fan of the new wave, that night should be one huge thrashfest!

I'll be seeing them for the final show in SF!

Awesome can't wait til this thing comes out now.

Vocals are a bit different, but it sounds decent.

I might try catching them at the Sparks, Nevada date. That's not too far away...

DAMN. What a killer track.

Pretty good song.I'll be getting this regardless.Im a big ol Forbidden fanboy.

Pre ordered this yesturday with a t shirt.

Another new song online. A little different, this one, but a really cool song.

Pretty cool!

Edit: Finally preordered a copy! Decided to go with amazon since I get free shipping guaranteed to arrive on the release date.

So what are everyone's thoughts about this album?

I dig it. It's not classic early Forbidden, but to me it sounds like an album that could have naturally come between Twisted Into Form and Distortion, like around 1992. It's got a good mix of both.

I should add that the high-pitched wail in the middle of "Overthrow" is really lame. I don't know if it's Russ or that terrible alternating panned riff that irks me. Haha.
