History

Formed under the Forbidden Evil moniker in 1985, these Bay Area thrashers appeared at the same time as Vio-lence (same deal, same management, etc.) and featured later-Vio-lence/Machine Head posse Rob Flynn. The band seemed to have a great future ahead of it with Testament-like solos, ripping material and a dedicated fan base. Unfortunately a weak label, ever-weakening material and members lead to its demise in 1997. When no new deal was forthcoming in 1992, Bostaph replaced Lombardo on the Slayer stool. Live in Eindhoven is a 1989 EP.

No surprise, the band reformed in 2001 – for a Chuck Billy benefit concert - and then in 2007 and even featured Gene Hoglan on drums.
