After being unavailable physically or on streaming services for years, Black Sabbath is now making four of their albums with singer Tony Martin available with a new reissue and remaster. This individual release is also included in the band's boxset Anno Domini 1989-1995, which gathers together Headless Cross (1989), Tyr (1990), Cross Purposes (1994) and Forbidden (1995), featuring remasters of the first three, and an entirely remixed version of Forbidden overseen by guitarist Tony Iommi.
Forbidden is the eighteenth studio album by English rock band Black Sabbath, released on 5 June 1995. This recording saw the reunion of Black Sabbath's Tyr-era line-up from 1990, with the return of Neil Murray and Cozy Powell. It was the last album to feature Tony Martin on vocals and Geoff Nicholls on keyboards, and the last by the band until 2013 when Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler returned for the album 13.
Musically, the release draws on traditional heavy metal and influences from blues. Ernie C of the rap metal band Body Count produced, recorded and mixed the album.
“I was never happy with the guitar sound, and Cozy [Powell, drums] was definitely never happy with the drum sound. So, I thought it would be nice to do it for him in a way.
I just felt that, without changing any of the songs, there was an opportunity to go back and bring out some of the sounds and make it more what people would expect Sabbath to sound like.”
- Tony Iommi
