Coming Soon: Forbidden and Exodus Albums

Forbidden just announced the name of its new album, although there still isn't a set release date (it's likely to be sometime in 2010). The name of the disc is Omega Wave, which sounds cool to me.

Also don't forget that Exodus' album, Exhibit B: The Human Condition drops May 18. Not forcing you to go out and buy em', but should be some solid thrash metal from both parties.

On a side note:

I still am not sure about the whole music industry business model. Some of the labels are putting out reasonable packages like the one below, but if you are selling a straight CD with no bonuses no one is going to buy it at $12 or even $10.

The industry needs to find a way to cut costs and get those prices down or it is screwed. Or instead, reward loyal buyers with cool stuff, like T-shirts, or even just posters or other cool things.

Forbidden Gets Evil: "Adapt or Die"

Forbidden is an underground thrash metal band, that rocked the scene towards the end of the cycle around 1988 with the amazing release Forbidden Evil.

Now Forbidden is back with the new song "Adapt or Die" on the group's MySpace page.

The band does little adapting on the track and actually provides some ripping thrash that sounds like it could have been on one of the earlier albums. Check it out now and below I put a clip of one of my favorite Forbidden songs from the first album.

UPDATE: New Forbidden songs "Adapt or Die" and "Hopenosis" below.
