it's certainly a lorna shore song

if you like them you'll like it, if you don't it won't change your mind

great song, breakdown at 3:20 is nuts

Oh god the production fucking sucks, AGAIN.

close shut the gates of oblivion

still a worse Fleshgod Apocalypse i see

also yeah the mixing sucks--why is the whole mix kick drum and vocals and keys with the guitars barely audible

First line of this article is hilarious lmao.

Is it wrong?? They're headlining MSG lol

They truly are like
THE spearhead for modern dxc regarding popularity
Never underestimate the sheer strength of tik tok

Band is obviously incredible but I just can't stand the production on their recent output. This song is sadly no different, I wanna HEAR THE GUITARS DAMMIT

Guitars are definitely a no-show in that mixing.

These guys write solid breakdowns that often completely kill the vibe of their songs.

Why are the guitars so buried man they’re actually playing interesting stuff compared to most dxc :/

Why is it sounding so thin? Songs seems pretty good otherwise.

Not reinventing the wheel here but goes exponentially hard nonetheless.

Jesus! The breakdowns really destroyed the pacing of this track and felt completely tacked on and pointless. Never understood much of the hype for this group though at all and if it wasn't for Will's insane vocals I feel like they'd get even less attention

agreed the extended breakdown really kinda kills the song. everything after it is pretty great but first half is kinda ass and suffocated by the drums being so high in the mix. will's vox are a bit one note here too, wasnt really feeling any emotion. will give it a few spins tho and see if it grows on me

Song sounded surprisingly good until their derpcore instincts kicked in with that breakdown lol. Always assumed this band was hot garbage since they're the most popular deathcore band(?) but they're actually decent. Nothing I'm gonna come back to but I expected a lot worse.

Breakdowns are terrible and ruin their song like most of their material. The band definitely has potential, they just can't seem to focus on writing well structured songs. They have potential to be as good as Shadow of Intent, just need to drop the obsession with the vocals.

"agreed the extended breakdown really kinda kills the song."

That's what I thought too

Worst trend in modern deathcore. A lot of the better bands are writing stuff that doesn't call for that shit but they shoehorn it in every damn song anyway, it's like they're scared that they'll lose their core cred if they don't tick that box.

“derpcore instincts”

lmfao

lorna snore AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Would be a really good song were the guitars mixed ahead of the synths imo.

I definitely do wish the mixing was more balanced, but I still enjoyed the song. I don't stylistically love all of the vocals Ramos does, but that scream range is p much unfuckwithable.

I'd take all the haters on the planet to be able to do vocals like that ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you Lorna Shore for giving boring YouTube reaction channels the economic boost they need in these trying times

^ Nik Nocturnal is very offended by this comment

LORNA SNORE [2]

bet this sucks but I’m for sure never gonna listen and find out.

Song is actually pretty cool, but completely agree that the breakdown feels insanely tacked on and only for the purpose of having react channels have something to latch onto

But the main riffs and the solo are actually pretty nifty, I like that squealing ascending bit in the background. Video is cool too, which is a rarity for metal lol

does will do the goblin scream or nah

"breakdown at 3:20 is nuts"

Checked it out out of curiosity. It's just another boring breakdown lol.

Also, that album title, lol.

^^^ Sooo try hard lol. When the breakdown got even slower I audibly chuckled. Despised Icon did that almost 20 years ago on "In the Arms of Perdition" and did it much better. Just cringe af. Agreed that the breakdown completely kills the flow of the song. Very mid song by an exceptionally mid band.

Another fun song. Stupid album title

Deathcore needs a production revolution, cause it represents everything wrong with modern metal prod. Overly scooped DI computer guitars (weirdly buried here), super clicky, triggered to shit, fake drum sound, sterilized to have no rough edges (i.e. character) like top 40 pop music, etc etc. Will's vocals are also used like a crutch and so are the breakdowns. You're doing pretty bad as a scene when this is an example of your shining stars. Pretty glad I left this kind of music behind.

the snappiness of the doublebass is so distracting

Thus Spoke Zarathustra clears this band

That band rules so hard.

Bree bree brother

why the hell does deathcore still exist in 2025 lmao

Cuz it rules even if it's past its prime. Many new bands just have lost the "core" element and are overproduced to hell

GED-core is more like it the way you gotta be impressed by mishmashed breakdowns because "br00tal" while sipping a 24oz green monster energy drink and wearing those big osiris shoes and a cookie monster flatbrim

it is annoying that breakdowncore is still majorly popular going on twenty years now, and yet the breakdowns are still as bad as they were at the start!

Will Ramos is the embodiment of the stereotypical deathcore bro. Covered in tattoos, lots of piercings, huge tunnels, a shaved head with long hair on top and no influences besides other deathcore and metalcore acts.

This band is so lame.

zzzzzzzzzz

Oblivion remastered slaps

"it is annoying that breakdowncore is still majorly popular going on twenty years now, and yet the breakdowns are still as bad as they were at the start!"

I find it amusing that Dying Fetus, a brutal death metal band, manages to write far better breakdowns than Lorna Shore and Slaughter to Prevail, who are the torchbearers of the deathcore scene. How does that even happen?

Dying Fetus are highly influenced by hardcore. They've covered Integrity and Next Step Up and John used to have a 25 ta life sticker on his guitar.

if someone told me dying fetus was deathcore I wouldn’t disagree with them.

I kindve consider them one tbh. In the Trenches might as well be a hardcore song

Shit song btw

it’s honestly the same problem melodeath has in that it’s ostensibly “melodic death metal” but most of the bands labeled melodeath have a specific sound that only that subgenre sounds like, where as death metal bands who incorporate melody are still just called death metal.

deathcore is ostensibly “death metal + hardcore” which is exactly what dying fetus is, but most deathcore sounds nothing like that and really describes bands with a very specific sound.

Aight this comment section is gold

deathcore is metalcore + death metal AKCHUALLY HYPE you poser. their deathgrind has more core to it bc their grind has actual core to it

Dying Fetus mentioned M///

I saw Dying Fetus in Chicago last year, only caught maybe the last 5 songs. I was pissed that I didn't see more but what I saw absolutely fucked. Black Dahlia was the headliner and it was dece but only that. Really can't get into them without Trevor.

Dimmu > this band. I dont hate DC but man the production of these bands is atrocious, why?

I used to love my deathcore back in the day but as someone already pointed out, this sounds pretty much 1:1 to what bands like Fleshgod did yeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago, just with added breakdowns, dont get me wrong they are definitely competent musicians, its all just so rehashed

and it was beaten to death by the second time fleshgod did it then too, like approaching fifteen years ago.

man I kinda miss tom barber lorna shore

Awwwww...these sweet guys and their new song! [pinches their cheeks]

oh man this fucking sucks

LOL

Flesh Coffin was Lorna's best album. Tom Barber was on it

I like it.
