Persistent Vision Records has announced a 10 year anniversary reissue of the debut album by Fórn, The Departure of Consciousness, originally released in 2014 (Vendetta Records/Gilead Media).

The new edition will release on 12" vinyl with expanded artwork by Bryan Proteau in limited color variants.

"The title was inspired by some pseudo research paper I came across when I was studying cognitive psychology in college. A lot of concepts for Fórn songs relate to psychology and occult philosophy. A reoccurring theme on TDOC is facing your shadow self and the negative feelings and experiences that surround that, and how it’s even worse if you don’t confront your shadow self," vocalist Chris Pinto reflects.

The band has released three albums and a split with Yautja since the original release of The Departure of Consciousness.

Tracklist:

1) Emergence
2) Dweller on the Threshold
3) Gates of the Astral Plane
4) Alexithymia
5) Suffering in the Eternal Void
6) Cerebral Intermission

Rites of Despair

Boston’s Fórn have been making slow, emotional music that rips your heart to pieces since 2012 and in that time the band have progressed into an entity that can make a simple guitar phrase induce introspection on a massive scale. “Manifestations of the Divine Root,” the first track after album intro “涂地,” places gorgeously fluid guitar lines alongside Chris P’s … Read more
