Forbidden History
Forbidden is a heavy metal band that emerged from the thrash metal scene in the late 1980s in San Francisco, California. The band's lineup originally consisted of guitarist Glen Alvelais, bassist Matt Camacho, drummer Paul Bostaph, and vocalist Russ Anderson. They quickly gained a reputation for their intricate guitar work and socially aware lyrics. Their debut album, 'Forbidden Evil,' was released in 1988, showcasing a distinctive style that blended aggressive rhythms with melodic undertones. The band was part of the burgeoning thrash metal movement alongside pioneers like Metallica and Slayer, which significantly contributed to their rise in popularity. Throughout the 1990s, Forbidden struggled with lineup changes and the evolving music industry but managed to release several albums, including 'Twisted Into Form' (1990) and 'Green' (1997). After a hiatus in the early 2000s, they reunited in 2010, thrilling fans with their live performances at various metal festivals and events. Their enduring legacy is marked by their ability to adapt while remaining true to their metal roots, making them a respected name in the genre.
