More than 11 minutes in length, the clip was created by director Bobby Cochran, known for his work with artists such as Chelsea Wolfe and Steve Von Till. it is a magnificent companion to the epic track which appears on the band’s new album, Repercussions of the Self. 

Cochran states: “The story being told is one of a struggle with – and submission to – a situation that’s ultimately beyond your control. But also looking that oppressive element in the eye and seeing it for what it is.”

Released last week on Persistent Vision Records, Repercussions of the Self is a transcendent piece of work, adding grand, cinematic layers of electronics and vocals to Fórn‘s funeral sludge base. CVLT Nation reports: "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."

The band gives credit to the film scores of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, as well as the works of Massive Attack and Portishead, as inspiration. "We always intended for the band to progress beyond the 'sludge' name tag," says guitarist Joey Gonzalez. "We feel that this album accomplishes that mission while still keeping with our classic sound to please the headbangers."
