Double-D
Omega Wave marks the revival of the thrash legends Forbidden. Like many other bands that started in the late 80s and early 90s they were victims of grunge and alternative rock. After 13 years of silence Graig Locicero finally got the inspiration and decided to record another Forbidden album. Now in the years of thrash renaissance is the perfect time for bands like Forbidden to get they deserve. Omega Wave starts with the instrumental intro Alpha Century that turns into the direct thrash attack Forsaken At The Gates. Swine, Dragging My Casket, Hopenosis and Behind The Mask are pure perfection. Russ Anderson is awesome, Craig Locicero and Steve Smyth play some very impressive riffs and melodies and parallels with the mighty Nevermore comes to mind. With Omega Wave Forbidden show abilities to become leaders in the power-thrash scene and can’t wait for their next step. All in all it’s hard to describe such a great album. For fans of bands like Nevermore, Flotsam And Jetsam and Bay Area thrash metal this is must have. It’s a modern masterpiece and completely deserves 5 stars.
