Forn - Repercussions of the Self CD

"Fórn is another band that’s left us longing for a new release, since their 2018 record 'Rites of Despair.' But the ensuing years of conquest, war, pestilence, and death have only served to make this band’s sound more magical and brutal... With the addition of Lane Shi Otayonii, they’re produced an opus that’s layered and impactful."
–CVLT Nation

"8/10. A shadow-casting monolith of pitch-black doom rife with unexpected influences."
–Decibel

"Heaviness mixed with wonderfully implemented euphoric tones. Highlighted by the haunting, siren-like vocals of their newest member, Lane Shi Otayonii, the band appears to have adopted a fresh approach to their work, and the outcome is striking and unmissable."
–Destroy//Exist

"Atmospheric sludge/doom metal sextet Fórn simultaneously reinvent and reclaim ownership of their own take on extreme and surreal gloom for this third full-length album. ‘Repercussions of the Self‘ manages grime-streaked cinematic loft and deadly slow-humming verve at its best, trading off between various dread-bound states of mind as they begin to break loose of expectations set by past releases."
–Mystification

After years of quiet plotting, FÓRN return with a brand new LP, the group’s first new music since 2018’s Rites of Despair. Building upon their brand of funeral sludge, "Repercussions of the Self" sees FÓRN enter new territory, creating a mix of the downtuned guitar-driven epics the band is known for with a new, industrial, electronic element, resulting in a progressive turning point for the band.

The album features newest member Lane Shi Otayonii on vocals and electronics across all its six tracks. The album also features guest contributions from vocalist Orion Peter and drummer Josh Brettell of Baltimore's ILSA.

"Repercussions of the Self" was released on digital, vinyl, cd and cassette by Persistent Vision Records on October 18, 2024.

All tracks written and recorded by FÓRN.
