Lorna Shore is an American deathcore band from Warren County, New Jersey. Formed in 2010, the group currently consists of lead guitarist Adam De Micco, drummer Austin Archey and rhythm guitarist Andrew O'Connor. They have released three EPs and released their debut full-length Psalms in June 2015 and their second album Flesh Coffin in February 2017.
During spring of 2018, vocalist and founding member Tom Barber left the band to join deathcore act Chelsea Grin. The band immediately afterward confirmed that they were not splitting up as a result of Barber’s departure and CJ McCreery (of the Pennsylvania deathcore act Signs of the Swarm) was revealed as his replacement, who was later fired in early winter 2019.
History
editThe band's first EP entitled Triumph, released in 2010, carried a distinct metalcore sound before leading into the band's progressively heavier style. The band's second EP Bone Kingdom was the first to carry their current deathcore sound and was released in 2012. Maleficium (2013), the band's third EP, reached number 3 on the iTunes Metal Chart and was also released as a digipak CD making it the first non-digital Lorna Shore release. The band distances and disregards themselves from any releases prior to Maleficium and considers the EP the "rebirth and true starting point of their career." The band to this day still perform songs from the EP, and it's the earliest material that they will still willingly play live.
Lorna Shore followed the release of Maleficium by opening the Carnifex's Die Without Hope Tour featuring I Declare War, and Here Comes the Kraken.[1] Since then, before releasing their debut album they have toured with acts such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Archspire, Oceano, Fallujah, Carnifex, Upon a Burning Body, Chelsea Grin, and Within the Ruins.[2][3][4][5][6]
Psalms, their debut, full-length album was released on June 9 through Density Records. The album was produced by Fit for an Autopsy guitarist Will Putney at The Machine Shop.[7]
On September 21, 2016, Lorna Shore announced that they had signed with Outerloop Records and would release their sophomore album Flesh Coffin on February 17, 2017. They released a single entitled Denounce The Light on November 17, 2016.
In the early goings of 2017, bassist and founding member Gary Herrera announced his departure from the band, citing his lack of desire and passion for the music as his main reasons. Flesh Coffin would subsequently be the last release to include Barber and Herrera the only original members from every release in the catalog thus far.
Vocalist and founding member Tom Barber confirmed that he had left Lorna Shore in April 2018 to join Chelsea Grin as their vocalist, replacing Alex Koehler, who departed earlier in the year.[8] Lorna Shore have assured their fanbase that they are going to continue, and CJ McCreery of Signs of the Swarm was eventually confirmed as his replacement after being rumored for some period of time. After McCreery joined Lorna Shore, the band released the two singles, This Is Hell and Darkest Spawn. The band joined the Summer Slaughter Tour supporting Cattle Decapitation, Carnifex, The Faceless, etc. In early October, Lorna Shore announced their signing with Century Media Records along with the announcement of their new album, Immortal. The band will support Fit For An Autopsy and Rivers of Nihil this Fall.
On December 23, 2019, the band fired vocalist CJ McCreery after a Weinstein effect-style string of allegations involving alleged sexual abuse occurred in his name.[9] The allegations began when a ex-lover of McCreery began posting stories and screenshots of text messages detailing abusive-like behavior that allegedly occurred within a 4-year relationship. Following this some other parties also began to accuse McCreery of similar misconduct.[10] A week and a half later, the band announced the cancellation of an upcoming tour in Asia and that their upcoming Immortal album (which was developed with McCreery on vocals) has been delayed, no longer fulfilling its original January 31 planned release date.[11][12]

Critical reception
editSun Eater was generally met with favorable reviews. The UG Team reviewer found that the album was better than previous records of the band, highlighting the contributions of Schendzielos on bass, which added "value to the songs instead of just a bump to the low end."[10] Metal Storm's "deadone" said that the album is pushed the band to "a new level" and sounds "mature and more confident". Special praise was given to "Encircled by Mirrors" for being "downright catchy".[8] Sputnikmusic staff reviewer Ben Kuettel rated the album 4.0 out of 5 point, dubbed "excellent", claiming the band "never sounded as fierce or as hard hitting as they do on Sun Eater".[9] In contrast, Bradley Zorgdrager of Exclaim! gave the album mixed review and said the band would "dip in and out of mid-paced mediocrity", but concluded that the album has moments "where the group stand on the podium with the genre's greats".[6]
The many reviewers especially praised the mix of the album, Metal Storm's "deadone" for example said the mix and production is "well balanced with every component fitting in perfectly".[8][10]
