DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
At last got around to stocking this impressive new album from Boston's Forn, now that it's gotten a second pressing (sans the striking obi band that wrapped around the jacket for the first edition of the LP). This album has been steadily amassing accolades from both press and purchasers since coming out this past summer, due to it's powerful take on atmospheric doom metal, delivering a six-song set of glacial gloom and scorched-earth ambience that blends in just the right amount of grinding industrial-tinged soundscapery to transport this music into an upper echelon of sonic dread. The album's intro track is entirely instrumental, weaving grating factory-rumble loops around swells of severely downtuned guitar and enshrouding it all in a heavy black fog of end time dread, but it's the second song "Dweller On The Threshold" that really bulldozes across your soul, with a massive gravitational pull emanating from the band's massive guitar sound and the strength of the rhythm section as they lumber, heavy enough to rival any other new doom metral album that came out towards the end of 2014, but those stately guitar melodies that these guys wind around the imposing slo-mo heaviosity really tower over this album, unfurling twin guitar harmonies and demented licks that puts 'em in a similar league as the likes of Thou, Asunder and Samothrace. But Forn also incorporate more of a black metal influence throughout this record as well, with the songs sometimes rupturing into violent blackened riffery and gales of frostbitten blastbeat drumming that flow fluidly out of their crushing torpor. Really immense stuff that gazes into the void, surrounded by susurrant sighs and coldly gleaming starlight. Tracks like "Gates Of The Astral Plane" coupling utterly bone-rattling low-end rumble with elegiac arrangements, and the plaintive, Godspeed You Black Emperor-esque passages on "Suffering In The Eternal Void" that erupt into titanic dirge are all quite moving. Deserving of the attention that this album has been getting since its release. Gorgeously macabre illustrations from Natures Mortes imbue this with added power.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
