I wish the whole album sounded like that first song with the pig squeals and shit.

there are definitely highlights, it has grew a bit on me as well, just some solid deathcore.

This got quiet quite quickly, also that sentence was weird. Anyways, this was a solid album but it feels lacking in variety and quality compared to the last one imo, what do yall think?

They're really pushing for variety here, which is a good thing - mixing oldschool deathcore tropes with modern ones - but that's kinda the problem too, many songs from this sound like a jumbled mess with no clear idea or direction, which makes most of the songs lack memorability. The exceptions are the melodic songs, those are definitely their best - thinking What I Would Give and Wither/Bloom, these are actually amazing
All in all this would be a good album to show someone who asked you what deathcore is, since it encapsulates a little bit of pretty much every deathcore style ever done. I suppose deathcore fans should love this, but I'd prefer better songwriting and dynamics, which this band is clearly capable of doing. Yeah, overall if they put some more songwriting behind the crowd-pleasing attempt to cram in as many deathcore tropes as possible this could have been the perfect deathcore album

Yeah I'm lowering my rating. I found this to be a huge disappointment and had completely forgotten about it until bumped.

They would make an excellent melodic death metal band if they wanted

Indeed, they are essentially melodeathcore as is

I feel as if most modern deathcore i've heard has some level of melodic dm influences as is tbh

I never really felt that, but I mostly listen to new wave deathcore bands without the pig squealery. But yeah, maybe some of the decent ones do play pretty melodic, like say slice the cake or shadow of intent

That’s fair

Aversion's Crown and Fit For An Autopsy come to mind

Yep. FFAA and SOI are exactly what came to mind for me. FFAA incorporates melody flawlessly.

But then again there are bands like despised icon or the red chord who never did much of that. DI are as oldschool as it gets, but TRC were always more experimental. And there's also Oceano and The Acacia Strain, not really melodic bands at all - to be fair the latter has crossed over into doom and sludge tho, which is kind of a logical direction to go in given their previous sound
I'll have to check out FFAA I guess
Oh and also another stray thought: seems to me like it's becoming a trope in some modern deathcore bands to try and incorporate as many vocal styles as possible, with the focus variety becoming almost annoying. Prime culprits, SOI, Angelmaker, Brand of Sacrifice. It's cool that they're trying to mix things up but I'd take some Älvestam-style deep growls and black metal shrieks over all those goregrind toilet gurgles anyday

Yeah, the trend is annoying, and it's another reason why I prefer old school deathcore.

Ngl i'm a sucker for it. Probably why Lorna Shore hooked me in so hard. All the proclamations of "look at how disgusting and animalistic this vocalist is!" seem to hold valuable weight for me haha.

But this shit has already been done by bands such as The Juliet Massacre years ago. Those are some funny chaps
