Lorna Shore is a deathcore band born in 2010 in the United States. It released two albums ("Psalms" and "Flesh Coffin"), then at the end of 2019, it separated from its singer C.J. McCreery, following complaints of sexual assault. Nevertheless, the band maintained its determination, as it released its new album "Immortal", which sounds like a will to survive.
The record, intense and sparkling, is sprinkled with symphonic moments that soften its violence, oscillating between overwhelming rhythms and sensual lightness. From the very first seconds of 'Immortal', a certain levity emerges: grandiloquent choruses, emphatic symphonism and progressive notes. Then the death facet blossoms with cavernous voices, breathtaking rhythms, majestic breakdowns, intense riffs and a voice stained with terror. The band appropriates the deathcore basics (Thy Art Is Murder, Carnifex), mixes them, then sculpts them in its own image with a solitary guitar worthy of Michael Romeo (Symphony X), while mastering suffocating breakdowns and wild climates ('Misery System', which exposes an uncommon violence). Lorna Shore thus pushes the genre to its limits sprinkling it with infernal explosions.
The vocals of 'Death Portrait' are lumpy, the drums navigate on fast or overwhelming rhythms, while the track is dressed in a dark symphonic aura. This setting supports the melodic side of the songs while the guitar gives it a dark intensity, sublimated by extreme variations. 'Hollow Sentence' begins with gentle arpeggios that resonate in a dark church; 'This Is Hell' starts gently as a meditative prayer, before a hellish vision invades the ears. Although vocals and guitars are essential to the cataclysmic architecture, it is also the symphonic ornamentation that chisels this striking arctic-blue aura.
"Immortal" is a very good harsh and uncompromising album, enhanced with icy melodies, in balance between hell and paradise, between ice and molten magma. It's like a kind of premonition: the band fell, then got up again with an indomitable strength and power. Full of noise and fury, blood and pain, shards and colours, gorged with anguish and terror, cries and tears, hatred and resentment, "Immortal" inevitably upsets. - Official website
