Forgodsake formed in 1990 by Kevin Ridley, Steve Wallace, Drew Gallon, Gary Binns and Chris McCormack.
In late 1994, McCormack and Wallace both left the band, with Ridley taking up guitar to fill in.
They released their second album, Gunk, in 1996, with solo contributions from Skyclad guitarist Steve Ramsey.
Ridley left in 1997 to join Skyclad (who he had been acting as a producer for years prior) as a second guitarist, later taking up vocal duties for them as well.
Chris McCormack also formed a new band, 3 Colours Red, with Pete Vuckovic, Ben Harding and ex-Skyclad drummer Keith Baxter.
