Lorna Shore have developed into a non-stop touring machine that takes every venue by storm. In the States they completed a tour with Belgian death metal stalwarts Aborted, selling out every single show with consummate ease. Their fourth strike ‘Pain Remains’ (2022) is their third contribution since the departure of the last original members. Both heavy and utterly engaging, the album spotlights a band that has outgrown its erstwhile deathcore label and is expertly adept at blending black and death metal. Will Ramos is one of the best vocalists on the extreme metal scene, with a vocal reach as wide as the wingspan of an albatross. It’s easy to see why fans of Behemoth and Suicide Silence will happily give them an hour of their time. #GMM25
