“Sweet Child O’ Mine is a terrible song. I don’t like Slash’s playing, but it stands the test of time. That was my inspiration – to write something timeless”: Lorna Shore return with new music, brash Ibanez customs, and a fresh kind of death metal energy

Lorna Shore’s Andrew O’Connor and Adam De Micco with their new Ibanez custom guitars.

After 15 years of hard work, adversity, and multiple line-up changes, Lorna Shore have achieved something rare. With 2021 hit To the Hellfire gaining 26 million views on YouTube, and 2022 album Pain Remains racking up 189 million streams to date, they’ve taken the extreme niche genre of deathcore into the mainstream.

Combining elements of black, death, and symphonic metal, astonishing technicality and prog sensibility, their latest record, I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, showcases a band at the peak of their powers.
