Lorna Shore - Pain Remains It’s strange how one’s music taste can change so dramatically. I used to listen to a lot of deathcore up until just a few years ago, but these days, I hardly listen to it at all. I love metalcore, post-hardcore, and stuff like that, but a lot of the newer deathcore bands just don’t do anything for me. I haven’t heard too many that I really, really like, but I think part of my issue with modern deathcore is that good songwriting has kind of taken a backseat to just being brutal and heavy. I mean, I like that, but I also want to hear a competent song, not how heavy a band can be. That’s fine, and everything, but can you write a good song on top of that? I haven’t heard a lot of deathcore bands that can write songs, but there are a few that step outside the box, and New Jersey outfit Lorna Shore is one of those bands. I got acquainted with this band a handful of years ago, back when they released 2017′s Flesh Coffin. It was their second album, and it was a pretty damn good blackened deathcore album. Nothing special, but you could tell these guys had some unique ideas up their sleeves. Fast forward to 2019, and on the cusp of third album, Immortal, that was due in January of 2020, second vocalist CJ McCreery was fired from the band due to a lot of disturbing allegations, and it almost seemed like the band’s future was in limbo for awhile. That is, until they announced their new vocalist, William Ramos, who was rather prolific in the deathcore scene by that point, known for his vocal covers, as well as being in the band A Wake In Providence, among others. While he had some big shoes to fill, especially when their first vocalist was Tom Barber, now of Chelsea Grin, but Ramos proved himself just fine on their last EP, 2021′s And I Return To Nothingness. I never listened to that, but I heard a lot of great things about it. I just haven’t really listened to deathcore in so long, and I just wasn’t interesting, so I never bothered with it, but when I saw that his debut album with the band, Pain Remains, was about to be released, I thought I’d check it out, because it would be really interesting to hear a full-length project with him. At the time of writing this, I’ve given the album a couple of listens, and I don’t know how I feel about it, at least in a general sense. I’ve got plenty of thoughts on it, but this is a pretty overwhelming album, and I don’t mean that in a particularly good way, either. This record is an hour long, and that’s already pushing it, but there are hardly any breaks or moments to breathe in this thing. It’s an hour of nonstop symphonic blackened deathcore, and my god, it’s way too long. This album does not need to be an hour. Most albums don’t, but I can forgive it when the album actually has a lot of cool ideas. This album has a few ideas, and that’s it. My biggest issue with this album is that it’s so repetitive, it makes it such a slog to get through. Every song sounds exactly the same. Maybe they don’t sound the same in terms of their structure, but the overall sound is intact -- generic deathcore breakdowns, brutal vocals, blackened deathcore riffs on top of symphonic elements, and spooky and creepy atmosphere that lingers over the album. It’s all the same few elements just packaged in a different way throughout the album’s runtime, and it gets old quickly. The thing is, however, the songs on their own are awesome. I would gladly listen to these songs on their own, but because they all sound like one another, what’s the point of listening to the whole album? I really can’t get into it, and it’s a bummer, because I really wanted to listen to a deathcore album I really liked. Hell, the reason I don’t really like it is nothing to do with the music itself, or the performances. Everyone sounds great, but it’s that their sound is so repetitive, it hurts. I don’t want to listen to an hour of the same song, just redone 12 times. It’s really annoying, especially when their sound is as overwhelming or intense as it is. This is a slog to get through, and not because it’s bad, but there’s so much going on and it all sounds the same. I wish I liked this more, I really do, but this album tested my patience really badly. Ramos is a great addition to the band, though, so that’s the best part of this record. His vocals are killer stuff, but it’s just the music around him is so repetitive and overwhelming, it’s really hard to sink your teeth into it. I wish I liked it more, because in theory, this could be an album of the year contender. Maybe for a lot of people, it will be, and more power to you if it is. It’s a good album, but I feel like you have to really love this band, or deathcore itself, to really love this album. I wish I liked it more than I did, but for what it’s worth, it’s a good album, despite the major issues I have with it. Again, it’s nothing to do with the music itself, it’s more so its lack of ideas and overwhelming sound that just didn’t click with me at all.
