Career
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Forrest was a member of the bands Liquid Indian and Thunder Circus. He joined Voivod in early 1994 as bassist and vocalist, picking up the nickname "E-Force". He recorded two studio albums with Voivod, Negatron (1995) and Phobos (1997), and the live album Voivod Lives (2000),[1] before departing in 2001 when original singer Denis Bélanger returned.[2]
Upon his departure from Voivod, Forrest formed his own band called E-Force. In 2003 he formed the band Project: Failing Flesh in Vienna, Virginia. That band released three albums up to 2012.[3][4] In 2017, Forrest conducted a European tour in which he performed songs from the Negatron and Phobos albums by Voivod.[5][6][7] The band assembled for that tour, operating under the name E-Force Performing Voivod,[8] continued touring and played at the Brutal Assault festival in 2018.[9]
