I used to like the former singer better but music still rocks hard.

Ramos is definitely the best vocalist this band has had yet. If this is half as good as ...And I Return To Nothingness, I will be very happy.

Can’t wait for the full album, Will is a beast and I really enjoy the mix between brutality and symphonic.

Some solid moments in this album but the breakdowns get a little monotonous for me. Don't get me wrong, I love breakdowns but they sound same-y across the album and get in the way. Last three songs are the highlight for me.

The breakdowns are totally unnecessary and ruin what is otherwise an incredibly solid album. Barring a few exceptions, I can't enjoy most songs here because of how off-putting those are.

This is your third comment when you are whining about the breakdowns. Go listen some Nickelback, this band is not for you.

This record just blew me up! I'm seriously addicted to it! Lorna Shore surely is one of the best heavy acts nowadays and I'm so happy that, even taking a long time to notice them, I finally did!

More autopilot deathcore with generic symphonies slapped on top. Better than the EP but all of these musicians are too talented to be releasing music like this.

I usually struggle to get into deathcore but Lorna Shore seem to be an exception. This is hardcore AF! But still manages to sound quite interesting. Instead of having a million annoying rhythm patterns they actually have some degree of melody and structure, and the vocals and symphonies I have to say are very impressive. As above has stated, the breakdowns do get a little too much though imo.

One can hope the album doesn't turn out the same as the singles right? The EP was great and - almost - void of that flaw as well.

My dude, the breakdowns are obnoxious.

Difference of opinion is not a justifiable reason to listen to Nickelback.

How about those solos, man, they are the highlight for me, and Austin's drumming is sick as hell, those double bass kicks, unreal talent.

Indeed, their drummer is a beast...

This shit is really good as far as deathcore goes. The highlight would be the "Pain Remains" trilogy.

This album didn't live up to my expectations. I listened to it 11 times before making this comment. My main complaint is that tracks 4, 5, 6 and 7 are mediocre Deathcore with orchestrations on top of them. Musically, nothing about them stands out in these tracks. WR sure devours the mic, but that's a given by now. He's a versatile vocalist. But musically speaking, this is particularly sad because the members are absolutely talented, and throwing in 4 successive uninspired tracks is just not right.
In terms of which Deathcore album is the best for 2022, it has to be Shadow of Intent's Elegy. It's a very solid and well thought-out album.

Listening to "Pain Remains Trilogy" right now. I usually don't like those whatever-core bands much, but in this case the symbiosis between harsh vocals and symphonic music counterparts is awesome and stunningly beautiful.

He's right, though. They nearly completely ruin every song. It's the same damn chugging breakdown every time, with the singer trying so hard (bordering on cringe) to muster up the most gargly, monstery growls he can. It just sounds stupid and like something a 12-year-old would listen to.

I wouldn't say breakdowns ruin (or nearly ruin) songs. That just depends in the personal taste of people. Notably the most veteran people won't stand that trend.

IMHO this album was a BRUTAL bomb of relentless energy. Enjoyed it so much, and surely will be revisiting it in a future. Maybe the only thing I didn't like so much were the almost not-understandable vocals

Everybody's going crazy for this band lately so I decided to give them a try.
I usually hate anything *core and it's no different with these guys.
It's a shame that they're not into prog/tech death so that I can enjoy their talents too...
