Forbidden - Twisted Into Form (1990)


More Bay Area thrash, this being the sturdy follow up to '88s 'Forbidden Evil'. It's nothing mind-blowing, just routine crunchy thrash with some decent dynamics, heaviness and complexity, and you won't be displeased with what you hear knowing full well that these kind of bands always give it 100%, but I'd much prefer the darker reachings of Coroner or dazzlings of Atheist, but if you're into that late '80s style of mosh-pit mayhem, Forbidden will still show you a good time, it's just that this kind of metal kind of hits a dead end at some point, although the scene at the time was so vital for metal.

7.5/10
