Press Bio - DUALITY

The new record and third installment unleashed from FB'sturgid rock-underworld, DuALiTybrings a dark, sexual, and blatantly sadistic look into the mind of a 21st century artist who will not only make his mark on you, but sets forth a probable quest to brand the rest of this world as well.


The canvas on which duality has been painted is dark. From this black abyss, a fertile evolution of venomous power has been delivered. Aggressive. Pummeling. Pure Adrenaline. Rock at its EmoCore of Heavy Mental Artistry. Think NIN. Think TOOL. Think Marilyn Manson. Think The Used. Think Deftones. Think every band whose music has such a strong pulse that you can't stop yourself from feeling the emotion, aggression, frustration, and pure sexuality that is the voice, the artist. Think FORREST BLACKBURN.


With over 2 years in the process, Duality is an audio archive of the blood, sweat, frustration, and pure creative genius of every member in the band. On stage and fully assembled, these 6 musical demons along with their gaggle of sultry, half-naked vamps take over your brain with the most explosive and captivating show your mind will remember. From the heavily syncopated rhythmic patterns and walls of heavy metal guitars, to the pure emotional intellect of post-modern Emo lyrics, this record is astounding.


"When I began writing what would eventually become the music for this record, I wanted extremes. I wanted to be explosive and experimental. I wanted to unleash madness & genius. I needed to challenge myself; to find an inner core. Cutting far deeper than I had ever hoped to, I discovered things about myself and the world in which we so meagerly live that not even the far reaches of this record can explain or mend."


Marilyn Manson stated that artists are completely apart from all other human beings. Artists make their feelings, emotions, and experiences vulnerable to the world, to their fans, to you. They make available the inner workings of their soul for your enjoyment and hopeful enlightenment. The reciprocal is an out-pour of emotion that, in its purest form, forces you to think, feel, and, ultimately, react.


There are many times in life when the world seems to fail us...no matter the level of resistance, the power of the depression, the toxicity of the abuse, or the level of sadness, one thing holds true: you are never alone. Forrest Blackburn is an artist and a fan. He is both voice and ears. He is a slave to the duality that pours through his veins and hes coming for you.
