Forbidden - Chalice of Blood

[@dzamarelli]

My brother loved them. Blasted it all the time. It popped in to my head tonight. Thought I would play it for my son. My brother passed 6 years ago. This really brought up feelings

[@paulolameiras5298]

One of the best thrash metal bands ever. Russ Anderson, a great singer with a very powerful voice and a very distinct american accent. This first album, Forbidden Evil (1988) and their second album Twisted Into Form (1990) should be listened by any one who appreciates old school thrash metal. The first two albums were not only their best but, in my opinion, two of the best metal albums of all time. True gems that nowadays would be unlikely replicating. I actually have Forbidden Evil in vinyl and Twisted Into Form in CD. The solos in this particular album are nothing short of outstanding. Guitarists Craig Locicero and Glen Alvelais form a great duet and deliver in very high standards. Although the tone of Craig Locicero guitar sounds better, Glen Alvelais has a much superior technique. Final note to say that the drummer in this album is non other than Paul Bostaph, who currently plays for Slayer, replacing Dave Lombardo.

[@THRASHattack66]

Forbidden's KILLER! still one of my all time fave thrash bands metallica,megadeth,and forbidden all made good thrash at one time or another so praise them instead of hating

[@ChaseSanity]

Fucking awesome. My dad introduced me to this band. He saw them live back in the day and said that they kicked ass. Right he was.

[@davidgholamipour7265]

You got a cool fuckin dad!

[@ChaseSanity]

David Gholamipour Yeah, he said that he saw them way back in the 80's. they were opening up for some other band.

[@s.porter8646]

Your dad gets a 4.0 in parenting 101...raise your kids on metal and they turn out great

Remember going to Shades record store (London) getting autographs from the band alongside Sacred Reich prior to their gig at the Marquee...good times and great gig.

[@M0useketeer]

i bought this album when i was 16, even went to see them in concert...wow what a blast from the past thanks for posting!

[@ShadowSamba]

Robb Flynn has written many of my favorite riffs of all time in this, Vio-lence and Machine Head. That man is a freaking thrash legend

[@rutbuck121]

This i can't deny

Nice vektor pfp! You have amazing taste in music

[@backtothebeatproductions]

Super late reply but what’s the relevancy? He never played with these guys

[@ShadowSamba]

@@backtothebeatproductions He did play in Forbidden for a while before they released Forbidden Evil. He also wrote 4 songs for this album

[@grahfkarate1799]

@@backtothebeatproductions yup, played on the demo. Was in the band before Craig. I profit is a reworked version of last day off the demo

[@andykoch3578]

Totally underrated band. Their first two albums are masterpices in thrash metal. I even like their later albums, not outstanding like the first two, but still good ones to me.

[@Tukker1970]

Omega wave is fantastic

[@frankmoscarelljr4624]

If only they had come around a few years earlier

[@8renato8]

this have change my life from the perspective of old thrash metal i was looking for something like this for my songs

[@johnyboy1977]

Yeah, I still remember the days that REAL BANDS like this rehearsed for 3 years straight before releasing their debut. No wonder that from 84' to '89 every single album was a fucking masterpiece.

[@mikekretmar]

It was 3 years not because of that lame ass reason are you fucking for real .let me explain the system,it's taken to the satanic alter, were when Lucifer gives the okay, is when it goes to print ,live whatever and if it has to sit for years so let it be ,when Lucifer gives the okay is only when shit goes live.welcome to the real world

[@alexperry4691]

Always loved the guys voice i think he was very underrated

[@VomitPinata]

This is a spot-on perfect mix. All killer, no filler!

[@FishlipsMalone]

THEIR debut album in 1988! definetly one of the best thrash debut albums in late 80's . and i nearly broke my neck at it!!!

[@xtwwrestling123]

"Gary Holt is the Tony Iommi of thrash, he's a freaking riffmiester" Truer words can not be said about Gary Holt

[@jangleballer]

Great old school thrash!!!

[@RockWillLiveOn]

To me, they sound like a mix of Judas Priest and Anthrax. This dude's voice is amazing. I had heard of this band before, but never really listened to them before until now. It's songs like these that do it for me because it's so catchy, but at the same time, it' kicks so much ass!

[@Shatter415]

I was lucky enough to be at the album release party at the Omni (Oakland CA) in '88(?), with Death Angel and Blind Illusion opening for Forbidden. Such an amazing show. Met Jason Newstead there right after he joined Metallica. Omi was such an awesome Thrash Palace in its day.

[@grindbrozherofralph]

Das sind die wahren 80er. Ehrlich, hart und schnell!! Schönen Gruß an Paul Bostaph. Forbidden? Don´t forbidden by me!!!!

[@xfghfghf]

Gotta love the opening scream. Classic thrash

[@fullmetalexorcist1687]

The harmony that Russ Anderson does starting at 3:30 will forever remain a textbook example!!! Forbidden still slays, some 20-odd years later!!!

[@Psycroptopsy]

Why have I never heard these guys before? Was just looking around the metaltabs forum and found some tabs to this song and thought i'd check em out here cause the songs were heaps fun to play! Time to buy this shit!!!

I first heard of Forbidden was on the video magazine " Hard and Heavy" .... the showcased this track but it sounded slightly different. Maybe it was a different version for the video magazine. Cool song.

[@josedias1387]

Forbidden is one of the great of thrash metal! Mega classic!

[@tehmudkipz213]

God i love the falsetto on the beginning !

[@cabalofdemons]

I will be seeing this band along with Overkill, Evile, Gama Bomb and Bonded by Blood in November. The new releases by Overkill, Evile, Heathen, Exodus and Silent Civilian are awesome. I know the new Forbidden will be top notch as well

[@svoboda73]

difficult to say which ismy favourite band of those times I am 38 and still listen to metal and punk and much more. Exodus, the amazing Nuclear Assault (great lyrics no bullshit), the german school: Assassin (just bought the re-edition of the first 2 albums), Kreator, Sodom etc etc. Anyway this album has been republished nice price!

[@_the_killer_is_quiet_5726]

Anthrax and overkill had a baby and it went back farther in time and put this OUT

[@ChristopherGray00]

I was thinking moreso 75% megadeth 25% dragonforce but with slightly more speed.

[@philmiller99]

@Hammerslammer89 I havn't heard the name Onslaught for many, many years...I used to love "In Search of Sanity". Looking back now, the singer kind of reminds me of Grim Reaper's singer. Onslaught was/is a great band.

[@slimmyd]

this song is fucking amazing. I loved as a kid and still love it at 40.

[@666tickets]

2010 was fucking good thrash-year! overkill, heathen, exodus, death angel and forbidden: all of them had released killeralbums! KEEP ON THRASHING ON!!

[@OliverCasasola]

I still own the original tape and was bought in 1990. those years when metal has a few classifications.

[@jangleballer]

+Oliver Casasola Oh, metal had classifications back then. Heavy, Power, Thrash, Black, Speed, Glam, Crossover, Death, and some more that I'm sure I missed.

[@OliverCasasola]

+jangleballer yes man, only a few genres and nothing more... now on today, there is a lot of sub-classes and classifications and there is more confuse. \m/

[@jangleballer]

Oliver Casasola Yeah, good point. I have 2 classification. Metal that I like, and metal that I don't like. I like Forbidden!

[@TheFujac]

great times....when you could tell people you listened to metal and that meant everything from ac/dc to extreme noise terror and everything in between and no-one gave a fuck because it was all one and the same....music for misfits!!

[@jobrimar8291]

71 members of the church of lies. Saw these lads at Bradford Queens hall with Sacred Reich. No seats, no security. Old school! Hung out with them for the day an even got asked to go along as an unofficial roadie by Debbie Abono for the rest of the uk tour. ( regrets..... ive had a few...) Paul Bostaph played the show one handed as he’d broken a bone, still killed it!! Hugely underated band
