Omega Wave is the fifth studio album by American thrash metal band Forbidden, released on October 22, 2010.

Also enlisted for Omega Wave was mixer Sean Beavan whose previous work included Marilyn Manson and Slayer.

He learned a great deal from him about record production and expressed enthusiasm for his part in Omega Wave: I still can't believe how lucky we are to have Sean to do it.

It certainly would have been easy to self-title it, but anyone who knows anything about Forbidden and our history understands that we spend a considerable amount of time thinking about these things.

An "omega wave" is the feeling of impending doom that hangs over everyone in these difficult times, more so than any other era in history.
