Forbidden Dimension

Usurping the Earth from Human Scum since 1988!

About Me

Forbidden Dimension started out in 1988, just as Jackson Phibes's (aka Aleister Hexxx) previous combo, Color Me Psycho, was calling it quits. Thematically, it was (and remains) dedicated to illustrating a world where Coffin Joe and Julian Karswell run a Rest Home for the Terminally Bewildered in the Old Dark House on Spider Baby Hill. After 20 years of slogging it out on the Western Canada dive bar/punk club circuit and leaving a small trail of cryptic (yet, as they say in the business, "rockin'") recordings with various line-ups, labels, etc., Phibes blindly figures there still ain't no end in sight. BEVARE!

I edited my profile with a 60 foot chain and a bucket of brains.
