It has been more than five years since Chronic Xorn last came out with an original record. Through several obstacles and delays during this period, the Kolkata-based metal outfit is finally gearing up to release its much-awaited new album due this year. And for this sole purpose, Chronic Xorn has decided to crowdfund the production of their upcoming record through a digital campaign.
Taking to social media, the band wrote, “For the same purpose, this time, We, CHRONIC XORN, are seeking your help in producing a dream album. It’s our promise that we will deliver a product of pure international stature.” Their last album titled “For These Sins Who Must Die”, consisting of six kickass tracks, was released back in December 2017 to global critical acclaim.

The band further added, “We have started a Crowdfunding campaign for our upcoming album titled ‘I Create I Destroy’. This is your time to shower the love and support. Shoot away, folks!” According to their Crowdfunding campaign, the band is supposed to enter the studio in July 2023 to record the upcoming album, and at the time of reporting, the band has already amassed 27% of their required target.
The band has also made it known about how they are planning to utilize the fund.
Chronic Xorn said: We will divide the fund into three categories. We will use 50% of the fund to produce the album, which will cover the costs of studio booking, mixing, and mastering. Additionally, we will allocate 30% of the fund for producing music videos. The remaining 20% of the fund will be divided equally into two parts. We will use 10% of the fund to cover the cost of album artwork and a professional photo shoot for the band. The remaining 10% of the fund will be utilized to produce a new line of merchandise, such as official T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, and more.
Since their inception in the year 2007, Chronic Xorn has released two EPs, ‘Death Destruction Sermon’ (2010), and ‘For These Sins Who Must Die’ (2017), and one full-length album titled ‘From Mercy’ (2012), the latter of which featured famed international artist Travis Montgomery of the Canadian metal band Threat Signal.
