Ravish recorded Forced Upon on a shoe-string budget starting in 2003, In 2002 Ravish consisted of Mario "Speedwagon" Franco on drums, Mario was soon replaced with Robert Teagle, On Bass was Vinnie Wright, Vinnie unfortunately dislocated his shoulder during the first part of recording so bass was played by the Gooz and in 2004 Vinnie played bass on the three remaining tracks, though Vinnie had since decided not to continue with the band. Because the Gooz wasn't available, Paul McClung became Bass player from 2005 to 2006. Both Rob and Paul left Ravish in October 2006 after a not so good show in Kennewick Washington. And though Forced Upon, though not officially released was sold at shows during 2006, it was shelved to be released independently in 2011.
