Record Store Day began in 2008, and many fans and retailers look forward to the annual event celebrating independent record stores and the numerous exclusive releases issued on the special day. This year RSD will be April 20th and M-Theory Audiowill bring a limited edition 2LP colored vinyl reissue from Bay Area thrashers Forbidden’s for their 2010 comeback album, “Omega Wave.”
Limited to 1000 copies, this double album will be presented on clear vinyl, one with blue splatter and the other record red splatter, to reflect the colors in Kent Mathieu’s (Exodus, Possessed, Autopsy) stunning artwork of the crystal skull with the red and blue flying skulls reminiscent of his work on Forbidden’s 1988 debut. Additionally, this gatefold 2LP will include a 4-page insert featuring lengthy and personal liner notes from guitarist Craig Locicero recalling the era when the band reformed, wrote, and recorded this cherished effort along with an extra band photo from Alex Solca and a revamped layout by Forbidden’s fan and Metal Church/Ross the Boss singer Marc Lopes.
“In our opinion, “Omega Wave” may be Forbidden’s strongest and most complete effort. That’s no disrespect to our first four offerings and the amazingly talented musicians who contributed to them. Those are all untouchable in their time,” states guitarist Craig Locicero. “After the years off, we had clear perspective and a new inspiration to make the best possible thrash record we could. We feel that we accomplished it.”
“Now we are very excited to have “Omega Wave” re-released with a special two record, colored vinyl release, and new packaging through M-Theory Audio. This ultra-limited special edition will be available on 4-20-24. Record Store Day! Get yours while you can.”
