Lorna Shore Step Into Next Era with 'Oblivion' from Forthcoming LP I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me

The deathcore underworld has been on high alert as the imitable Lorna Shore have been teasing on billboards and their website ahead of a first look at new music since dramatic tidal wave of Pain Remains. The 2022 record saw vocalist Will Ramos double-down on his ghastly gutturals first premiered on unforgettable new-era 2021 EP ...And I Return to Nothingness.

Since then, the five-piece U.S. group conquered the world a few times over, showcasing their live performance - pyro and all; particularly reflective of their inaugural Aussie tour this past February.

After featuring on dozens of peers' new tunes, the new-age frontman has risen to the heights of heavy music popularity in recent years; and whilst we love hearing him belt out pig-squeals with other artists old-and-new, it's really some fresh Lorna Shore we're all waiting for.

Today is the day my friends. The New Jersey group have just released new music for the first time since the aforementioned post-COVID release, nearly three years ago. 'Oblivion' is title of the new track, and will soon be the most searched word on the internet... that, and the band's forthcoming album titled I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, which is set for release on September 12th via Century Media Records.

At the top of their game, we get a first listen of 'Oblivion' via streaming platforms and to say it's a monster of a bounce back would be the understatement of the year. Commencing with a long drawn in synth, it's not long before you'll be left dumbfounded by the machine gun quickfire blastbeats of Austin Archey which kick up the tempo and gear shift 'Oblivion' into fucked up proportions before Mr Ramos commences his ungodly gutturals, wasting no time in reminding us why he's one of the most unique vocalists this side of the new millennium. As guitarists Adam De Micco and Andrew O'Connor tango tumultuously with duelling riffage, you'll be lead on a disgustingly brutal journey into the depths of hell and back, meeting various new voices (all grotesque and much more abhorrent than the last) and when the breakdown kicks in, the farmyard piggies come out to play and finish the job with more complex vocal gurgling and a spectacular power metal-esque guitar solo for good measure.

For those in Australia, welcome to a new dawn. For the rest of the world eagerly anticipating the arrival of Lorna's ferocious new single, you'll have to stick by your alarm clocks until midnight local time to join in festering-ivities. All eight minutes and ninteen seconds of it.
