Forbidden
Twisted Into Form

American thrash in all its glory, with a touch of progressive. Forbidden remained in the second echelon of thrash teams along with Exodus, Flotsam and Jetsam and others, from time to time playing the role of a forge of cadres for older comrades (drummer Paul Bostaf, as you know, left the group to decorate albums with his high-precision, but rather cold play Slayer of the 90s). And “Twisted Into Form” is quite pleasant to listen to: it is not tightened, it is equipped with sensible vocals, high-speed riffs, touching sorties, spacious bridges, syncops ... But in the process of listening, a comparison with many other bands of that time, for example with Intruder, comes to mind. Perhaps, what this talented gang really lacked was really its face ... As already mentioned, listening to such a technical gang is very pleasant, Calvert and Lokisero’s parts, Anderson’s screams and Bostaf’s hirugic hammerhead defector are worthy of all praise, but practically nothing gets stuck in my head after listening (except maybe “R.I.P.”). The only but significant drawback.

Amazing album even better than the debut.This album is the epitome of thrash and back then Forbidden were the undisputed kings of the genre!

Zweites Album der amerikanischen Thrasher, ein gewaltige Steigerung zum Debut und wer zwar auf Thrash-Metal steht aber dennoch nicht auf melodiösen Gesang verzichten möchte, sollte hier unbedingt mal reinhören, z.b. ins grandiose "Step by Step"
