The wait is finally over! Lorna Shore are back in 2025 with new music, an upcoming album and a tour.
Deathcore and metal sensations Lorna Shore return heavier than ever, with their latest single “Oblivion.” The track is the first on what will be their next album I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, which will drop on September 12. Their long awaited fifth studio album is their first major body of work since 2022. Since then, Lorna Shore have been highly successful across the streaming and touring landscape, ever developing and improving on their style. Their strive for quality music, surpassing all boundaries of genre, urges other genres to step up their game as well.
About the new single, vocalist Will Ramos says,
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. 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?”
~ Will Ramos
The song starts out quietly, slowly creeping in before muffled drums, guitars and vocals intensify. The raw and brutal atmosphere immediately engulfs us. It is fueled by a deep sense of regret and despair over the earth’s destruction and the lengths humanity will go to trying to justify it. This devastation is especially present in lines such as,
What have we done? (What have we done?)”
~ “Oblivion”
Alongside the single, Lorna Shore released an otherworldly, eight-and-a-half minutes long, cinematic music video. In it, we jump around in a post-apocalyptic landscape following a few survivors who rely on special devices and chemicals in order to breathe the toxic air outside. We also see the brutal and lethal effects it has when one of the two takes off his breathing apparatus. The tragedy is only elevated by our weakened protagonist having hallucinations of what is presumably his dead wife, beckoning him to follow her. After a confrontation with another survivor, he does just that, before taking off his breathing device and entering a lake to an uncertain end.

With Lorna Shore ramping up to make 2025 a year for the history books, bringing us a brand new album, a tour throughout the US and Canada this fall promises to top it all off. Between September and November of this year we can look forward to more than two dozen shows in various iconic venues as well as prestigious festivals. So if you have an appetite for even more metal this year, don’t miss out on this special experience.
