FORBIDDEN // “To us “FORBIDDEN” is the name of the future we’re aiming for.”

雪 (Yuki) April 26, 2024 No Comments
FORBIDDEN is the newest musical project of guitarist 凛 (Lin) and vocalist 鋲 (Byou), who you might recognize from projects like brodiaea, Lilith, Affective Synergy, SCREW, KHRYST+ and their solo careers.
FORBIDDEN officially launched in December of 2023, which means they're still a relatively new band, but their concept is very solid already. More than enough reason for us to ask the guys for some more information about FORBIDDEN!

It’s been a while since we last featured Angels’ Temptation, but that doesn’t mean the members have just been sitting around and doing nothing. Our last time featuring them unfortunately had some sad news about a member leaving the group, and it has been a bit quiet in terms of new music coming from the
