Forbidden - My Sorrow is My Own

{Requested by HereticMocculta}
From the 1991 demo "Trapped"
A very rare collector's item, contains songs recorded for what would be the
third Forbidden album. However, none of the songs off this demo made it onto
that album, which is now known as "Distortion".
1.Trapped 04:15
2.So Dark (On the Other Side) 04:41
3.My Sorrow Is My Own 06:14
Total playing time 15:10

I was the biggest Tim Calvert fan back in 1990, his leads on Twisted Into Form blew me away. The riffs both he & Locicero wrote were so damned good. Calvert's phrasing and vibrato were sick, and loved those sweeps. Locicero was a really good player as well, nice vibrato. This song is rad!

[@jimjenkins3928]

Agreed! They had a unmatched sound back then. Saw them & Sanctuary play in a small intimate club in riverside California. While waiting outside to get in Russ offered us free tickets. Imo Forbidden is better than any of the big four.

[@samking6526]

Probably one of the most beautiful metal ballads ever is the true definition of the sadness.....

[@joshspoor5854]

This may not be on an album, but this is one of their most mature tracks. If only Paul and the rest of this line up stuck around just long enough for this demo to become an album.

[@snakepitguy]

The time was just wrong for them and anybody with talent at this point....sad times...

[@forbiddenevil1]

Trapped is a GREAT GREAT demo. Funny thing, i found it in a second hand CD store, bought it for like 2$ and it is by far my greatest and luckiest find in episode in terms of budget cd buying. It was around 1998 and through this demo i came to know forbidden - and never looked back. This back was huge back in the day, never getting the credit they deserved.

R.i.p Tim 🤘

William Shepley Shit I did not know.R.I.P. Tim Calvert

[@lmderailedful]

to the Guitarist I learned all that I know RIP Tim Calvert.

[@thicclizzyisamanbaby5316]

This band will always be one of the best, but this demo/EP (?) is a real hidden gem.

[@hideousinfirmity]

They owned every Power Metal band with those 3 songs. So deep and theatrical! For me this even better than anything Sanctuary or Nevermore have ever done. Which means a lot.

[@Violence1320]

have you seen the video where Warrel sings The Year The Sun Died but with acoustic. I know what you mean man. The Vibe is there, Warrel is my favorite lyricist and singer but this forbidden album is straight damn solitude

[@TinaTaem]

the beginning guitar riff feels so calm and sad to me.

[@user-wc2yn6wm7u]

I was a teenager when I met Russ Anderson at my house as a guest of a friend of my mother. Very good Band Indeed....

[@X1xone]

As I remember this was done while Paul Bostaph was still in the band. He split for Slayer shortly there after, and I got the impression in talking to Craig at the time that they kind of wanted to have a fresh start with new material.

[@wezlydog]

Such an amazing song!

[@Mikethefreak1]

I never knew that this even existed !!!! Bad ass

[@incognito3862]

Lyrics: fighting with my self you see has brought me to reality you care not for my kind hate consumed my virgin mind I stand alone in shameful lies accused of dealing others crimes first to cast the stone last to be alone oh god, look down at me you see my tears they are falling reach down, down, take me now you feel the pain within pain, within me all alone, expect nothing from me turn away, escape reality ohhhh can't stand the pain, pain within me... can't stand the pain pain within me... pain within me... oh god, look down at me you see my tears they are falling reach down, down, take me now you feel the pain pain, within me...

[@wezlydog]

I've seen Forbidden so many times in New England!

[@delhidelirium9091]

Guys ... trust me cause I was there when they released their 1st album up till the end , yeah ? What was happening in the Metal community had nothing to do with this . This is excellent , obviously , but it would had gone completely ignored back then . Thanks for posting , this is excellent !

[@shreddemon69]

Definately got that "twisted into form" sound...I think it could've fitted nicely mid way through that album and made even more of an all-time classic

[@MegadethAcdclover]

Stu B all thanks to the dearest Tim Calvert

[@AnabelB.]

[@mikeASHTHESKY]

[@forbiddenevil1]

by the way, my favorite Forbidden song. Damn..... this brings back memories :)

[@congavril210]

Cool song

[@syndrome1965]

I can't even choose a favorite ALBUM...favorite FORBIDDEN song, no fkn way. Cool tho.

[@tiny5500]

Cool

[@RobbKong999]

Hell yeah!!! I agree... Nice username... My favorite NEVERMORE album (tied with Enemies of Reality)...

[@deathailsatan]

never heard this album, it's really good

[@bundydude69]

Forbidden are one of my all time favorite bands and prior to tonight I'd never heard any of the songs from this cd. Most seem a bit slower and not quite constructed fully. I understand why these songs haven't made it on any of their releases. This should really be put out as a studio out takes type of thing, or is that what this is? Eitherway, pretty cool...

[@SYNAPTIKMETAL]

I can see why they never released this song- good but but not up to their high standard- they obviously agreed - as never put on an album. Looking forward to seeing them again in a month or so. :)

[@MegadethAcdclover]

SYNAPTIK these demos are not easy to even play dude.... it’s the dark, melancholic feel, and the amazing musicianship. If you hear every note going on.... it’s actually really well thought out..... nothing beat the Twisted in Form/Trapped/Distortion/Green era!! Just be open to all sorts of things.... that’s how bands progress.

[@snakepitguy]

bullshit. this is GODLY stuff

[@SYNAPTIKMETAL]

@@MegadethAcdclover agreed. But I'll agree with the band. Not for the album. We both agree.

[@SYNAPTIKMETAL]

@@snakepitguy IYO of course. it's a great song. But I agree with the band, not for the album.

[@LordAkira]

The Metal Ark of the Covenent. Within it lay ten commandments of metal.

[@chomskyknows]

I have some kind of Korean fan version of this CD with more tracks... Travesty that this was never released...

[@woodstock2561]

i call this condemned metal

[@malwaretestingfan]

Good band.

[@MetalHeart8787]

wow a New Forbidden CD?! I didnt know about it, illl check it out. i wasnt wild about Green or Distortion

[@snakepitguy]

It's pre distortion...they were at their peak.

[@bastianmaoro8278]

No Lyrics =(

[@metallkrik]

it sounds like Iron Maiden, Forbidden ROCKS!!!

[@shekharsharma1490]

metallkrik ,Duuhh !!!! Both are completely different bands, wonder how you are comparing them to maiden, ?????

[@TylerSocholotuik]

this would be very good if the recording wasnt such bad quality. i can barely heard the guitar.

[@snakepitguy]

jeez

[@Wildchild4ever]

I wish the lyrics of this song... Some words i cant understand because my main idiom is Spanish... :/

[@barfface4000]

@bblitz00 I completly agree distortion blows along with green The first two are great

[@MegadethAcdclover]

barfface4000 you haven’t given Distortion a chance and I hope you did now.... cuz it’s an amazing album. No Reason, Hypnotized By The Rhythm, distortion, Rape, Minds I.

[@snakepitguy]

@@MegadethAcdclover and some boring songs.... but at leadt it's good comparing to CRAPPY "green"

[@progfox]

user @barfface4000 gives worst take ever, asked to leave the wendys

[@progfox]

@@snakepitguy green is their best

[@austind792]

Doom

[@barfface4000]

@DreamNeonBlack Because both those records suck
