Review
Forbidden were clearly running out of ideas by their sophomore album Twisted into Form. While it generally delivered similar intensity and power as their debut, the album clearly lacked its focused, road-tested songwriting. "Tossed Away" does manage some ground-breaking melodicism (singer Russ Anderson revealing a surprisingly tuneful, Rob Halford-like delivery), but the similar experiments of "One Foot in Hell" sound somewhat awkward. There's nothing particularly wrong with tracks like "Step by Step," "Parting of the Ways," or "Infinite" either, but only drummer Paul Bostaph's incredible performance really keeps things interesting. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Twisted into Form is the second album from San Francisco, Californiathrash metal band, Forbidden. It features one line-up change from their debut – 1988's Forbidden Evil – with Tim Calvert replacing Glen Alvelais on guitar. The result is a more melodic and progressive affair with many acoustic interludes and clearer production, but less of a raw edge than its predecessor. It is their last album with drummer Paul Bostaph before he joined Slayer in 1992 when Forbidden was on hiatus.
