Articles by "Lorna Shore"


After dominating 2025 with their explosive new album I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me (named one of the best of the year by Kerrang, Metal Hammer and Loudwire), Lorna Shore is ready to do it all over again in 2026 with a massive global tour that kicks off January 23 in Germany and heads into the spring with newly announced dates just added for North America.

Lorna Shore will be joined by Paleface Swiss and Signs Of The Swarm for the North American run, which begins April 17 in Buffalo, NY and runs through May 22 in Montclair, NJ, alongside festival appearances at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival. See the full tour dates below.

Alongside today’s tour announcement, Lorna Shore also releases the latest taste of their critically acclaimed new album with the single and video for “In Darkness.” See the music video, directed by David Brodsky for My Good Eye, HERE.

Says frontman Will Ramos of the song, “'In Darkness' is about growing up feeling distant from everyone, a song about anxiety and being an outcast (as many of us metal fans grow from). It’s a song about embracing that outlandish and ostracized feeling. Knowing that we have grown in the shadows, the darkness of the world, but accepting that through that darkness we have become.”

Lorna Shore’s first new album in three years, I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, is out today via Century Media Records, alongside a highly emotional new music video for “Glenwood.” It visually captures the song’s overarching narrative: Vocalist/lyricist Will Ramos’ personal journey to reconnect with his estranged father. See the gripping music video, directed by Dylan Hryciuk, HERE.
 
Ramos says of the new track, “This song has been a very long-time coming for me. In my teens, my father and I never had a great relationship. We’ve had countless fallouts and it got to the point where we hadn’t spoken to each other in many, many years. I’d written songs in my teens and early 20s about him and my frustration but nothing really helped fill the hole I felt inside. There were just too many mixed emotions. As time went on, I came to realize that, despite my anger, all I ever really wanted was to go back to the home I grew up in. For that reason, I decided to knock on his door and try one more time to get in touch with him.”
 
He adds, “‘Glenwood Ave’ was the name of the street I grew up on. I remember my father always telling me, ‘I’m the tree, you’re the branch.’ The day I saw my father (for the first time in who knows how long), I quickly realized something. He wasn't the same person I remembered. He’d aged, had wrinkles, and a full-head of white hair. The tree that I remembered growing up next to was gone. The house inside was the same as I remembered but… older… dustier; and it felt… strange. As time seems to fly by for me, it also does for my father. And in all my parting, I never stopped to think about how much time actually went by. I spent my youth being so prideful and stubborn. I never even considered that as I was aging, so was he. I’ve had countless chances to fix things but wasn’t brave enough to actually do it. And now, I will never be able to get that time back. I wanted to capture that feeling when I wrote this song. My only hope is that when people hear ‘Glenwood,’ they can think about their own lives and the people they’ve pushed away and ask themselves: ‘Is it really worth being upset for this long?’ I believe all we really want is to go back to that special place – a place where nostalgia triumphs over trauma; a place that we can call home.”
 
“Glenwood” follows the release of “Oblivion,” “Unbreakable” and “Prison Of Flesh” from I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me. As Lorna Shore’s fifth album and the first in three years since 2022’s explosive Pain Remains, it continues the band’s reputation as one of the most impressive extreme metal acts to emerge in recent memory.
 
The quintet, also including lead guitarist Adam De Micco, drummer Austin Archey, rhythm guitarist Andrew O'Connor and bassist Michael Yager, have hit the viral Spotify charts, racked up hundreds of millions of streams, embarked on highly successful tours and in the process, galvanized a significant fanbase that hangs onto the band’s quest for stylistic inversion. But by virtue of physical onslaught and wanting to divine truth from their music, Lorna Shore have kept themselves fired up by torching the metal rulebook at every turn, practically demanding that other genres step up their game.

 

 

Lorna Shore’s latest single “Prison Of Flesh” (out today) is one of the metal band’s heaviest to date, fueled by vocalist/lyricist Will Ramos’ raw feelings about his family’s history with dementia and the toll it takes on the person and those around them.
 
Says Ramos of the deeply personal new track, “This song is exactly what I imagine a lot of people expected of us to put out. We took all the heaviest stuff we had to create this incredibly dark, high-stress/tension song. I personally think the breakdown at the end of this is one of my favorites that we’ve ever written and I’m excited to see how people engage with this one.”
 
Ramos adds, “The lyrics for this song are about my family and our history of dementia. The idea that the world is falling apart, and about the fear of losing touch with reality. ‘They’re coming to get me’ is my way of personifying ‘demons’ or something that makes you feel like you’re losing pieces of yourself. The closer they get, the further detached you become until you’re nothing but a husk of fear and delusion.”

See the explosive music video for the track, directed by David Brodsky (My Good Eye: Music Visuals), HERE.

 


The rumors are true — Lorna Shore are back in 2025 with new music and a new tour to lay their stake as one of the most impressive extreme metal acts to emerge in recent memory.
 
After a mysterious billboard appeared on the New Jersey Turnpike in the band’s hometown, Lorna Shore today confirms that their new album I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me is set for release on September 12 via Century Media Records.
 
It’s led by the blistering first single “Oblivion” debuting today. See the music video, directed by Dylan Hryciuk of Versa Films, HERE.
 
Says vocalist Will Ramos of the track, “Writing this song felt like the culmination of all the things that we’ve done in the past, but brought to the next level; a more evolved version of what Lorna Shore truly is.” He adds, “I imagined a post-apocalyptic world in the (hopefully distant) future. A world where we have sown the seeds of our own destruction. The idea that we wished for better, hoped we were doing something that would help save us in this dying world, only to end up accelerating its inevitable destruction. This brings up the question; what is right? Do we even know what we’re doing? What have we done to try and actually change anything? Are we watering the earth or just feeding a constantly growing fire?”

Lorna Shore will bring tracks from I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me and other hits on the road beginning in September, joined by The Black Dahlia Murder, Shadow Of Intent and PeelingFlesh in a tour produced by Live Nation.

After recently releasing the instrumental edition of Pain Remains, Lorna Shore is now giving fans a full band playthrough video for the Pain Remains trilogy! Watch the clip now here: https://youtu.be/HXgFH0jOY-w.

 
Pain Remains trilogy

Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames

Pain Remains II: After All I've Done, I'll Disappear

Pain Remains III: In a Sea of Fire   

 

Hot off their North American trek supporting Mastodon and Gojira, Lorna Shore is now giving fans a new video for "Welcome Back, O' Sleeping Dreamer" - the opening track from 2022's groundbreaking Pain Remains. Directed/edited by Eric Richter (www.EricRichterFilms.com) and produced by Paul Henon//Midvessel.

Adam De Micco (guitar) comments: "'Welcome Back O' Sleeping Dreamer' is a song that we feel deserves as much of the light as any other song on 'Pain Remains'. It was a pivotal song in the writing process - it was the song to get the momentum going for the rest of the record. It was the song that we had the most enjoyment writing and I think to this day is probably one of our favorite songs on the record. It's as dark as it is light and it's as intense while not being overbearing. It has become the closest thing to balance as far as our songs are concerned. It is also a song that encapsulates a lot of who we are as a band while being unique from the rest of the songs on 'Pain Remains'.

"Working with Eric was something that we have been wanting to do for some time now. He has always been someone we would reference or were inspired by so it only made sense to do a video with him. It was also a unique experience for us this time because we were in the trenches with him making decisions on everything regarding the video. As an artist you want to see your vision come to light and working with Eric this way, we were able to bring that vision forward."

To coincide with this video launch, new "Welcome Back, O' Sleeping Dreamer"-themed merch, two exclusive Halloween designs and more are also available now at: https://lornashorestore.com/.

Check out "Welcome Back, O' Sleeping Dreamer" here: https://lornashorestore.com/.

 


Two years ago, Lorna Shore unleashed their groundbreaking ...And I Return to Nothingness EP - which features the smash-hit "To The Hellfire" (currently at 17M+ views on YouTube, 38M+ streams on Spotify). To celebrate this anniversary, the band has dropped a new video for EP-track "Of The Abyss" (produced by Loki Films) - seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwDfiEgo4PE.

Additionally, a new exclusive limited colored vinyl (limited to 1000 units, with etching on side B) for ...And I Return to Nothingness, plus merch, are available now at: https://lornashorestore.com/.

Adam De Micco (guitar) comments: "I don't think anyone of us could predict what the EP would have done for this band as well as us as individuals. Those three songs allowed us to do things we would have only dreamed of. We are extremely grateful for everything that came from this EP and want to celebrate its anniversary. Thank you for finding yourself in this body of work the way we have. Thank you for everything."

Since this EP, Lorna Shore has continued to take the music world by storm - most recently by appearing at some of the biggest festivals across Europe, before they kick-off the second-leg of their North American tour with metal heavyweights Mastodon and Gojira next week (see below for all dates).

Distant - the multinational down-tempo/deathcore juggernaut from Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and the Slovak Republic - will release their third full-length, Heritage, via Century Media Records. 

Distant comments: "'Heritage', the title track from the newest Distant album, is a playful and colorful track featuring Will Ramos from Lorna Shore.

"'Heritage' is a breathtakingly heavy track yet still emotional, with a huge chorus and pace to last you for days, showcasing the diversity of our Dutch/Slovak collective!

"At last, the father and son cross blades; during this exhausting battle, they remember the times forgotten as the clash of their blades sparks new light and brings up the twisted revelation of this catastrophic deception."

For a preview of "Heritage", the new single/video for the title track - feat. Lorna Shore's Will Ramos! - can be seen here: https://youtu.be/amt9dFlm8go.


 


Today marks the epic conclusion of "The Pain Trilogy" from Lorna Shore: the video for "Pain Remains III: In a Sea of Fire" (directed by David Brodsky // http://www.mgenyc.com) is out! As well as the band's new album, Pain Remains, which can be streamed in full at: https://lornashore.lnk.to/PainRemainsPR.

"The Pain Trilogy" is a three-part tale focusing on the stages of grief and vulnerability - exemplifying it through a love story. The band comments on the tracks as follows:

"Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames"

"The first song, 'Dancing like Flames', begins with the main character becoming enamored by the person within his dreams. He decides to turn to this reality as a sense of purpose despite knowing that the closer he gets to his goal, the further it seems to drift away."

"Pain Remains II: After All I've Done, I'll Disappear"

"This leads to the second song, 'After All I've Done, I'll Disappear'. This is the part where the person vanishes, and the main character struggles to accept the pain. He as well wishes to disappear and seeks to throw it all away."

"Pain Remains III: In a Sea of Fire"

"Finally, the trilogy ends with the last song, 'In a Sea of Fire', which focuses with not just acceptance but also anger. Anger at not just himself, but the world around him. The song ends with the main character choosing to wake up by igniting the world. As the fires grow, he is absolved in a sea of fire so that he too may finally disappear."

For LORNA SHORE, 2020 was nothing short of a reckoning – in a career built on challenges, changes and a single-minded vision. For the New Jersey quintet, 2020 signaled the pandemic and cancelled tours. The following year presented the band with a staggering creative challenge in the form of the song, “To the Hellfire” from their hugely well-regarded EP …And I Return to Nothingness. Yet, through it all, they upped their sonic ante with their upcoming album, Pain Remains, that not only aligns with everything LORNA SHORE has hinted at but it also exceeds that – brutally and magnificently. “It feels like a rebirth of everything for us - the energy, the band, the morale,” says drummer Austin Archey.

Today marks the release of the band’s new single and first release off Pain Remains “Sun // Eater”. While the band has been performing the song live on the current “Chaos & Carnage Tour” it premiered on Jose Mangin's Sirius/XM Liquid Metal already. The song is out on all digital platforms, but make sure to tune into the video premier right HERE.


Presented by Church of the 8th Day and All In Merchandise was a Wednesday night concert, that all would dance about... literally. Hardcore dancing, hence where you wave your arms and dance around in the middle of the venue of the crowd, as said bands play, would be all the rage this night. For it would be the Catch One venue’s smaller room venue Jewel’s where the festivities would take place out in Los Angeles, California.  April 17, 2019 is the night, fans lining up in a sea of black hoodies, t-shirts, pants, jeans, and the like, as the line moved onward, letting all ages inside.

Once in, fans aimed for the stage area, while others headed for the merchandise tables, all others buying drinks and chatting, as the openers Within Destruction hit the stage a little after 8PM, playing a set of around 20-30 minutes roughly, the singer really egging the fans and crowd for that matter on, wanting more hardcore dancing happening, if not the mosh pit in general to just go crazy! Which it did indeed, as the band continued to play, showing off energy, angst, and lots of pride in their performance, as they come across the pond from Europe terrain, they brought the fun to California for sure.

Within Destruction Photos:





Next up came the hardcore act Bodysnatcher, whilst Within Destruction was a mixture of deathcore mixed with slam, the two genres blended nicely. Bodysnatcher on the other hand out of Florida, brought the hardcore genre to new heights. The crowd’s reactions were intense, as the hardcore dancers really pushed the crowd which every way possible. The band themselves, keeping with the beats of their tunes, keeping everyone hyped for their entire set up.

Bodysnatcher Photos:





Following them would be Enterprise Earth whose deathcore antics would cause joy and an uproar of sorts, as fans pushed one another more so than the previous bands. Their energy was fun and entertaining throughout really. The whole band playing so brutality that the music just couldn’t resist, as everyone there took it all in and just ran with it. Mosh pit occurrences being nothing but massive and explosive with pushing unlike never before.

Enterprise Earth Photos:





Lastly was Lorna Shore whose performance was likely one of the more impressive sets yet. Fans aligned the front of the stage, as the rest of the crowd present kept up the hardcore dancing more so than prior performers, as the music caused for pause at times, getting everyone hyped up. Throughout their setting though, the band kept the momentum going consistently well. Interacting with the crowd, making sure all there were having a good time. Their performance was thrilling and very fun, surely an act to never be avoided but seen and heard for certain.

Lorna Shore Photos:





Overall though, the entire tour ended up being quite a successor. For if it was not for this bill, none of these bands would have had a very fun yet fulfilling night of screams, shouts, and pure enlightenment that was brought forth from their music abilities, that all were there to see and hear.
