The Fot rbidden was formed in 2005 by Patrick & Wouter after some semi-drunk discussion in a local bar. The first concept wasnt realy a band idea, it was more-off a "lets just write some songs for fun" idea, as we both had different stuff at oure hands at the time. When patrick's main band Amusia collapsed, we tuned it up a notch and desided to search for a drummer, we found one, but after a month it didnt work out and we started to look for a new one. We also found a singer, Nadine, and her voice was perfect for the sound we were trying to set down. A drummer we finaly found in Colin, and the quartet was complete. We then started to realy write some songs and ditched alot of old ones and now we got a 30 minute set (quickly expanding to 45 minute) ready, and were ready to rock on! :)
*** TAKE NOTE: The current mp3's quality is very low. As soon as we got better footage, we'll upload it. Stay tuned! :) ***

Update 5th of may 2006:
Hi there! as you all know we have recently played our first live-show! 3voor12 (a respected dutch journalism group) wrote a review of the mini-festival we played, and they were quite positive!
Dutch
Het was het allereerste optreden voor deze band, maar dat was niet te merken. De vier bandleden stonden zelfverzekerd op het podium en speelden een strakke set progessieve-/hardrock songs, soms gemixt met metal. Frontvrouw Nadine Morris heeft een prettig, veelzijdig stemgeluid en wist haar energie over te brengen op het aanwezige publiek. The Forbidden is duidelijk een band met een eigen sound, aan de gezamenlijke podiumpresentatie zou nog gewerkt mogen worden.
English
It was the very first performance for this band, but you defonatly could not say that. The four bandmembers solidly stood their ground and played a thight progressive-/Hardrock set of songs, with sometimes harder metal influences. The female front of the band Nadine Morris had a very soathing and broad voice, and knew how to get her energy transfered to the crowd. The Forbidden is defonatly a band with a unique sound, though the stage performance could be a bit more of a show.

As soon as uploading is possible again, we'll updat our profile and put on 1 new song (the rest will be uploaded when the demo is mixed & mastered.
Greetz!
