Lorna Shore, the New Jersey-born extreme metal band, is set to deliver a performance that promises to be nothing short of an exorcism and a plunge into the darker realms of music. Known for their orchestral passages and bombastic blackened intensities, Lorna Shore has risen from the ashes with a renewed vigor and a commitment to pushing their sound to new, uncharted territories. Their latest EP, .And I Return to Nothingness, showcases this evolution with tracks like To the Hellfire, Of the Abyss, and the title track, each a testament to their blackened technicality and creative focus. The band, featuring new vocalist Will Ramos, has seamlessly integrated influences from European black metal, death metal, and hardcore, resulting in a sound that is both complex and intensely powerful. With artwork by Polish painter Mariusz Lewnadowski and production by Josh Schroeder, this EP reaffirms Lorna Shore's place as pioneers in the extreme metal scene. Their journey, marked by trials and triumphs, continues to captivate and challenge the boundaries of the genre.
