Fórn "Repercussions of the Self"

PRE-ORDER
Estimated Ship Date is October 28, 2024

Pioneers of "funeral sludge," FÓRN have been favorites of the metal underground since their formation over ten years ago. Releasing music via labels such as Gilead Media, including a split with Yautja, the band went dark shortly after touring in support of its 2018 album, Rites of Despair. With a series of major events occurring in the personal lives of the band members – births, deaths, and relocations across four states and two countries – and with the COVID pandemic disrupting society as a whole, the years after Rites of Despair would serve as a crucial pause and reset, leading to the radical rebirth that is Repercussions of the Self.

Repercussions of the Self, FÓRN's first new musical creation since 2018, bursts through the speakers with god-tier grandeur, mixing the downtuned guitar-driven sludge epics the band is known for, with a new, industrial, electronic dimension.

The album features Lane Shi Otayonii on vocals and electronics across all its six tracks. A past collaborator, Otayonii makes her debut here as a full-fledged contributing member of FÓRN. The album also features guest contributions from vocalist Orion Peter and drummer Josh Brettell of Baltimore's Ilsa.

Repercussions of the Self was engineered and mixed by Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations in Baltimore, Maryland and mastered by James Plotkin at Plotkinworks. The artwork is a collaboration between Alexander L. Brown and Devin Toye.

Vinyl comes packaged in a full color jacket with a printed inner sleeve. CD comes in a 4-panel mini gatefold jacket. Cassette comes with a full color j-card insert.
