A horror rock band from Calgary, The Forbidden Dimension has been rocking out their music since the 1980s. Its tasteless cover is only an indication of what is inside: a series of melodramatic songs that have been ripped off from somewhere (though this writer just can’t put his finger on where). It’s definitely a hard rock album, so if you are looking for Feist-like tunes, please move along - they ate her before they recorded this album. Yes, there are catchy guitar riffs, whiskey-soaked vocals and all the other ingredients of an ‘80s rock band. This album is, well, not a forbidden dimension, but a lost-and-never-found-again dimension.
