After a failed direction into groove metal, Forbidden reform and harken back to their technical thrash metal direction. It shows right from "Forsaken At The Gates" which also features the highly impressive chops of drummer Mark Hernandez who lays down bass heavy beats and double bass rolls throughout. The riffing and drumming is significantly faster than usual which is a welcomed element here, and Russ Anderson is his usual self with a lower register but still sounding great. They throw in some of their groove here too, and it sounds a lot better than Green and Distortion. "Overthrow" is the primary example here with its impressive drumming and groovy pace. The production is spot on as usual too (these guys really know how to produce a wonderful sounding record for sure). While many thrash veterans rehash their sound with their comeback albums, Forbidden adds more elements to the mix and makes for one of the best comeback albums of the genre.

This was definitely a massive improvement over the horrendous Green, especially as far as the riffs and solos are concerned. One of the few major complaints I have about this comeback though is that Russ, while still at his age one of metal's finest vocalists, seems to have a rather watered-down vocal style compared to Forbidden Evil and Twisted Into Form.

Omega Wave don't have the fire of their first two albums but still have enough good tracks like Forsaken at the Gates, Overthrow or Swine. Very cool performance from Russ Anderson (as usual).

Another competent return to form like a lot of the old thrashers. Pretty formidable guitar work.

One of the best mid tier thrash bands and one of the most criminally underrated. The riffs are insanely catchy and the vocals are actually good, unlike the embarrassing whining of destruction and other similar bands
