Forte
Formed in Oklahoma in 1990,
Forte managed an appearance on the ubiquitous
Metal Massacre series
(
XI, in 1991, with "Dementia By Design"),
and released four quality albums in the nineties, with their
style being a power/thrash mixture not unlike early
Metal Church.
Since their last release in 1999 they've been mostly dormant, reuniting
from time to time, until a new EP (
Vae Solis), a taste of an upcoming
new album, was put out in 2010.
2011 saw the re-issue of the band's debut,
Stranger Than Fiction,
including two early demos as bonus material.
