Nameless hymn absolutely rips

restive lance
#

3 songs in so far

#

i have to say

#

im genuinely surprised

#

im kinda loving this lol

ornate nimbus
#

WHAT

#

War Machine slaps

#

Easily one of the best on the album. I dont like Unbreakable but I can understand it was made for a live audience.

void skiff
#

in darkness is a top 3 lorna shore song

#

easily

rigid jacinth
#

first time listening to it fully rn

ornate nimbus
#

He said it was fire af when I was talking to him earlier lol

void skiff
#

i got chills during that solo

ornate nimbus
#

Yeah damn good solo.

This is my personal favorite run.

Lorna when making this album

#

Real though, it's a good listen

next spade
# ornate nimbus War Machine slaps

I listened to the album a bit more (the first thoughts were after first listen) and it grew on me (esp war machine and lionheart) but I still don’t like unbreakable so yeah, now I’d prob give it a 9.3/10

ember tundra
#

Death can take me is so peak. As a whole, I’m giving it a 9.5

glacial crescent
#

kinda sad I can only listen to forevermore 6 times an hour rn, the on repeat numbers aren't gonna be there lol

ember tundra
#

Forevermore is so good

Aight, I'm going in. Wish me luck

#

This album is basically pain remains 2.0 but I kinda prefer pain remains over this

naive venture
#

They changed the kick drum sound and guitar sound and it makes it sound flat

#

where is ma bass

junior cipher
#

Okay I'm done

#

It's aight

#

Not like bad or boring per se but not really interesting or captivating either.

#

Death Can Take Me and War Machine are nice

#

Kind of a take it or leave it album, and I'm fine with leaving it

acoustic pendant
ionic spire
#

I mean it’s fine nothing really memorable about it just kinda does its thing only sound I would go back and listen to is to the hellfire 2.0 other than that probably won’t ever listen to any other song again

restive lance
#

i don't get the pain remains comparisons

#

this isn't like pain remains at all

acoustic pendant
#

4/10 songs are straight up from pain remains

twilit wyvern
#

Jesus

#

Halfway through this album

#

M-m-m-m-m-m M I D

#

So far, 3 songs I heard are legit pain remains... Glenwood is the biggest offender

#

Legit I dont even remember any song that well

late canopy
twilit wyvern
#

This is looking to be a strong 6 bruh

#

Legit all I have left

#

How we gonna release 2 peak singles and then have some mid and some decent songs here???

#

In darkness is good, and death can take me so far is alright

sturdy thorn
#

I really enjoyed this album. It didn't blow my mind, but I really had a good time listening to it

#

I thought Glenwood was weak, but after reading the context of the story being told, it hits different as I went through something similar

tepid vault
#

Was this album anything unique or new? Not particularly. Was it Lorna Shore doing what they do best and making fantastic music? You bet. Solid 8/10, would listen again. My favorite track was Definitely Oblivion, but I also really like the breakdown in Death can Take me. Also War Machine feels straight out of the DOOM soundtrack in spots.

twilit wyvern
#

On the last song rn

#

Ill give rhis album a 7

#

Like on my list it'll be slightly below the median

#

The last half got better but still

#

Very underwhelming

#

This is better than pain remains tho

#

A step in the right direction

junior cipher

#

i can say that glenwood is like my top track on it, then unbreakable, forevermore, oblivion, and prison of flesh for my top 5 on the album

glacial crescent
#

its a 10 idc

sturdy thorn
#

The intro to In Darkness gives myegoosebumps

marsh imp
#

bruh

#

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Unbreakable but then it made so much more sense after the fucking key change of In Darkness

#

I just started

#

I’m so glad they didn’t change the mix

unkempt crow
#

8/10 for me. Great album but few weak points. Glenwood made me cry holy hell. But I still think Oblivion is the one ill go back to the most

late canopy
#

it was alright
first 3-4 songs wer pr

#

glad that rest was not like that

#

but breakdowns were boring as hell

#

rest is pretty good

#

i guess a 6.75/10

restive lance
#

again only 3 songs in but first 3 songs are absolutely not pain remains

#

havent heard unbreakable again yet so we'll see if my opinion changes

#

but In Darkness is one of the most well written LS songs imo

late canopy
#

the opener literally has into the earth ripoff chorus riff

#

it is the same

#

war machine is great song

twilit wyvern
#

Glenwood is legit pain remains reincarnated

restive lance
#

but then again into the earth was a super forgettable song

stark badge
restive lance
#

and yet prison of flesh somehow remains more memorable

#

it's probably my favorite lorna song

#

one thing ive noticed is it seems like this record has a higher level of emotional maturity and it just isnt trying to completely rip your face off

#

both in the song writing and general structure

#

it doesnt feel boring to me

stark badge
#

Gonna give it a bit of time before I have a definite favorite but right now it’s stuck between death can take me and forevermore

restive lance
#

...not yet, anyways. i still need to finish it lol

stark badge
#

There’s no low points on the record imo pain remains sadly did with apotheosis and wrath

#

IMO

restive lance
#

yeah apotheosis is one of the most forgettable songs in existence lol

#

like the only song i actually like off pr is sun//eater and even then that song is boring to me now, especially after coming from the first few songs of this album which COMPLETELY clear PR imo

stark badge
#

Sleeping dreamer soulless and cursed to die are my favorites

#

Into the earth is a HM sun eater I think is overrated

inland oriole
stark badge
#

I have unbreakable hidden on the album because I can’t stand the chorus

#

It deadass reminds me of those meme tabs you see on Songsterr “every Lorna shore song ever”

marsh imp
#

fucking hell

#

last 5 songs were just banger after banger

stark badge
#

Type shit

marsh imp
#

Forevermore majestically blew away oblivion and nameless hymn even blew prison of flesh away for how goddamn dirty that breakdown was

#

there’s a good fucking reason this band is so big rn

stark badge
#

The breakdown callout for war machine is underrated

#

“You pray for rain I’ll give you the flood”

agile mica
#

So many great breakdowns but i think glenwood was the best song in the album

#

It was so well written and it hit so hard

#

The music video was so emotional

stark badge
#

On god

restive lance
#

continuing the album

#

i truthfully am not hating unbreakable as much as i originally did

#

i just think it works better in the album vs being a single

#

glenwood is also one of the best tracks god damn

#

dude LOL

#

i thought it was about to drop some stupid breakdown that would ruin the song, but no, key change into a huge chorus

#

that's genuinely great

#

yeah this absolutely isnt pain remains 2

#

if you think that, you should probably go listen to pain remains again

#

this album is WAYYYYY better

short dune
#

Then probably forevermore tbh

short dune
#

Ignoring the fact I've looped 15 minutes long songs

sturdy thorn
#

Having Will's actual father in the video and I am guessing that's Will's actual childhood home they filmed in makes it so much more impactful

candid temple
#

ok this was actually fire

#

i was not expecting to enjoy this that much

#

death can take me best song

marsh imp
#

I feel like this album went back to Immortal and then grew its own branch with PR as a neighboring branch

twilit wyvern
#

Glenwood is definitely pain remains

restive lance
#

that's an insane take

twilit wyvern
#

Very far

#

I remember at the end of the song saying to myself when it was over... wow.,.. this is pain remains

obsidian marten
#

The only pain that remains is all you mfers that are bitching in here. CreepNik

#

(IDK, I haven't listened to it yet.)

twilit wyvern
#

The pain that remains is knowing they wont go back to making stuff like Flesh Coffin and Immortal

marsh imp
#

Death Can Take Me has lots of immortal vibes and Lionheart has lots of Obsession and Relentless Torment vibes

twilit wyvern
#

Death can take me was very good

#

I didn't really care for lionheart

marsh imp
#

Unbreakable to Apotheosis, In Darkness to soulless existence

twilit wyvern
#

Honestly.... lionheart being on or off this album legit wouldn't change anything for me

marsh imp
#

in no means do they sound all that similar though, still very different songs on their own

twilit wyvern
#

Time to wait another 3 years in hopes Lorna does Flesh Coffin

restive lance
#

in darkness isnt very pain remains either

#

it stuck out to me as a very unique song by lorna standards

#

i love how some of the songs are generally slower

marsh imp
#

Between this album and Imperium Delirium, I feel like this one takes aoty for me because of the sense of hope it carries

restive lance
#

i still def prefer soi so far

#

i still need to finish this one, 4 songs left

twilit wyvern
#

This landed in the 300 zone for my list

#

Pain

marsh imp
#

War Machine I can feel a tint of Brand Of Sacrifice/Mick GordonCreepNik

#

like the electronic elements

marsh imp
#

Even though I’d rank Unbreakable and Glenwood lower than some of the Imperium Delirium songs, I still didn’t think they were bad, honestly beautiful when In Darkness leads into them.

and then Lionheart and Nameless Hymn more than made up for that, to the point that I didn’t even care if Forevermore would suck, and then that song blew away every single LS song ever, especially the PR trilogy… goddamnit they can’t keep doing this

still badge
#

War Machine was good, but a bit too on the nose for my taste. If they removed the random gunfire samples, it’d be much better. To me, it’s super hard to pull off those samples without coming across like an edgy SoundCloud rapper. The rest of the song was quite good - very different feel.

marsh imp
#

well the song is literally called war machineCreepNik

Anyways. Album’s ok… I’m gonna need to listen more before I have fully fleshed out thoughts. I would love for them or Schroeder or whoever’s responsible for the main song structures to take theory classes. There’s only so many times one can do vi-IV-I-V before it gets old. Or change keys out of nowhere with no attention to modulation. But I’m going to let it sink in more before I fully critique the album.

void skiff
#

that last track

#

oh my lord

void skiff
#

i really thought i was going to dislike this record

#

but man

#

i really enjoy it

#

forevermore might be my favorite song of the year so far

#

leauges better then pain remains in every aspect from song writing to mix/production

#

its not a perfect record but id say a solid 8.5/10

#

maybe a 9 with a few more listens

#

i thought i was going to give this a 6/10

marsh imp
#

A Nameless Hymn’s verse riff is so fucking dirty, even gave some of King Ov Deception vibes

marsh imp
#

and Lionheart imo is a million times better execution of the vibe Unbreakable was trying to go for

#

like I literally feel a vibe of a sunrise coming to give some hope after some horrific shit went down

tired heath
#

I really liked death can take me. Probably my 3rd favorite from the album

sturdy thorn
#

The feel every time the horns come in In Darkness

glacial crescent
#

The feel when the orchestra drops out into the oboe and violin in Forevermore

twilit wyvern
#

Forevermore was a perfect way to close this album

#

wonderful song

real geyser
#

At least on a first impression I liked the second half of the album better

split briar
#

7/10 for me

#

symphonics are better than pain remains

marsh imp
#

The guy in the cover looks like a humanized general grievous

restive lance
#

finished it

#

yeah this isnt like pain remains at all

#

there are some similarities but they're far and few between

#

this record is way way WAY more engaging

#

8/10 for me for right now

narrow remnant
#

Glenwood has Constance vibes in terms of the music video

stark badge
marsh imp
#

So I felt simply stating this album was aoty over SOI wasn’t doing enough justice so while going back and forth between them I made this track ranking list instead, which even still was tricky because of how a lot of the songs in the middle kept moving around lol, especially bc such vastly different vibes/themes

Even then I don’t think this’ll rly be set in stone bc all of the lower ones are still awesome

split briar
#

Forevermore solos pain remains 1-3

marsh imp
#

agreed

candid temple
#

Not even close

#

At all

#

Pain remains clears by far

#

The songs not the album

marsh imp
#

don’t get me wrong the trilogy is definitely beautiful but the rest of the PR songs are what I usually repeat (sleeping dreamer up to wrath) bc the trilogy is too heart wrenching for me to replay a lot, just occasionally. Now with this new album I don’t feel like skipping anything

green magnet
#

lorna fucking cockblocks me twice by having a banger of and opener and then mid songs after

#

ig song isn't really mid. likd it's good, just the vibe doesn't transfer well between songs

indigo seal
tepid vault
#

Hot take, I like Pain Remains more than this

glacial crescent
#

not hot, both 10/10

#

prefer this tho

short dune
junior cipher
#

Pain Remains is so painfully overplayed for me that I cant even reasonably say which I prefer

restive lance
#

i hate pain remains so this is an easy pick for me lol

void skiff
#

forevermore mogs every single song off pain remains

#

id take this one song over the entire pain remains album

junior cipher
#

I've grown so sick of Pain Remains I may actually agree

#

Though honestly, I already forgot like 80% of this album and have little to no interest in refreshing my mind. Sometimes that's enough of an opinion

split briar
marsh imp
#

I stopped thinking of this as a competition, and moreso that everblack and imperium actually complement each other in the grand scheme of things

glacial lake
#

Third listen and only tracks i don't like are lionheart and war machine

clever flame
#

fair enough

#

i think i like Everblack more than Imperium Delirium though

marsh imp
#

Darius Tehrani would be the perfect guy to cover Nameless Hymn

#

I’d love to hear his “WHERE DID YOU GOOOOOO”

clever flame
#

and yeah, i'm still listening to this

#

and i can't stop

#

this album is perfect for me

#

it's got nearly everything i love in extreme metal

agile mica
#

Forevermore and glenwood r prob the best new songs

#

By new songs i mean none of the songs released prior to the album (oblivion, unbreakable, prison of flesh)

glacial crescent
#

forevermore, death can take me and in darkness imo

#

10/10

glacial lake
#

i love them all except war machine and lionheart, those for sure are the weakest of the album imo

void skiff
#

forevermore is generational peak

cyan swift
#

Not that this album is bad, some singles go hard like prison of flesh, but for me pain remains has more emotional worth

#

Can’t believe it’s already 3 years old

twilit wyvern
#

I think the trilogy had the most emotional worth

#

the rest of that album didn't really do much

tepid vault
#

But it was still really good

twilit wyvern
#

Album was fine

#

Those songs really didnt do much for me

#

This album imo is better but still there's some places where it does lack

tepid vault
#

Sun//Eater and Welcome back O sleeping dreamer are bangers

marsh imp
#

my amplifier did not survive death can take me

#

death has indeed taken it💀

twilit wyvern
marsh imp
#

sleeping dreamer, into the earth, apotheosis, and wrath are the best off pain remains

glacial crescent
glacial crescent
marsh imp
#

all of it tbh

all in all Sleeping Dreamer is the best thing that came out from Will era of Lorba Shure

clever flame
#

still listening to this album

#

i don't think there's a single song i dislike tbh

#

i think my favorite song is either In Darkness, War Machine or Forevermore

#

and Glenwood has been growing on me

#

i love it when deathcore bands do slower-paced melodic songs with a lot of emotional weight

#

and i think Lorna does it better than any other band i've seen doing it in the genre

junior cipher
#

Maybe I'll have to give this another chance

twilit wyvern
#

Same here tbh

#

Ill probably give it another chance down the line

#

me and my friends started playing this Demon Slayer game on Roblox and we all decided to have the characters we picked in our pfps for a bit

glacial crescent
#

Forevermore is one of those really rare properly composed 10 minute songs and took my back a huge trip of nostalgia

clever flame
#

yes

#

a great album closer

#

this is AOTY for me ngl

#

it has a lot more of what i like in deathcore and metal in general compared to Shadow of Intent (my previous AOTY)

#

SOI has incredible riffs and solos, amazing vocals, and overall they're very technical which i really like

#

not to mention Imperium Delirium is by far their heaviest album as well

#

but i feel Everblack has a lot more of that melodic phrasing than ID, which i'm a huge fan of

#

it's also one of the reasons why i like Lorna a whole lot more than most other deathcore bands

split briar
#

Yeah even as a huge soi fan lorna has way more melody

junior cipher
#

Okay, listened again.

I stand by my word, this album is so bland, tasteless and painfully uninteresting. Way too long and drawn out, way too same-y. Kept the bad parts from Pain Remains and took away everything interesting.

It's a shame because the latter half is actually quite decent, especially Death Can Take Me and War Machine manage to break through the monotony by finally doing something different, by allowing Adam to actually play riffs, by at least somewhat changing the soundscape. They still fall victim to the boring ass structure and copy-paste breakdown but it's at least palatable.

#

Everblack is just the octane-core radio rock version of Deathcore that nobody asked for. 4/10, one point for every song I actually kind of liked

twilit wyvern
#

Honestly a few songs grew on me but I really cant give this album any higher than a 8

#

Low 8

#

Its really the same song and dance done from pain remains brought on here with a new light. There are a few skips for me like ubreakable but this album does offer a glimpse on what I want from this band and modern symphonic deathcore

#

Its just they never took it the extra mile to do thay for this album

#

This album definitly does have a lot better songs than pain remains tho

#

Its kept interesting enough but if only the first half shared the same energy the last few songs on the album do

marsh imp
#

A 4/10 is something close to what I’d rate FIR

void skiff
#

with better song writing

#

this blows pr out of the water its not even close

glacial crescent
marsh imp
# glacial crescent that's way too generous to them ngl

That wasn’t even considering their latest singles lol. Either kinda boring or extreme cringe I couldn’t even finish listening.

I’d say their most redeeming things was just on the popular monster album. The videos were fun and the instrumentals were cool but still overshadowed by Ronnie’s cringe

glacial crescent
#

I didn't listen to their last stuff, got them on "do not play this artist" now

#

popular monster had like 3 good songs

marsh imp
#

pretty much

#

one thing for sure is they’re far worse than lorna shore they can’t even be a comparison

glacial crescent
#

yea like lorna is straight 10/10, they keep releasing their worst songs as singles and I keep getting worried then they drop nonsingles and I'm like bruh stop scamming my aoty titles lmao

marsh imp
#

I still think Oblivions one of their best songs. Replayed tf outta that one so many times

junior cipher
junior cipher
#

Also Lorna as a whole just falls victim to the Imminence problem as I like to call it. They've got one song structure, one breakdown, and then recycle both in 9/10 songs

#

That's annoying with Imminence but at least their songs arent 7 minutes

marsh imp
#

when people say that it’s always a super vague complaint that could apply to 99.99% of all music

junior cipher
#

Valid and let´s not kid ourselves, you dont need to reinvent the wheel but does every song need a solo at the 2/3 mark of the song and a slowdown breakdown afterwards?
Idk, most of it way too samey and at some point just boringly predictable

# marsh imp that’s called a band found the sound they like doing after they’ve experimented ...

True, I didnt proclaim otherwise. That doesnt make it any better. And in all honesty, does having a sound really equate to doing the same thing over and over again? Shadow of Intent have their sound and style, yet they manage to make every song unique while fitting their style. So do Darko; found their style, found their formula, still manage to keep it interesting and unique.

Each to their own, matter of preference in the end of the day. I´m happy for everyone who likes it, doesnt do much for me to hear the same formula overstay its welcome.

marsh imp
#

I love shadow and darko too and even the formula thing is still vague since none of Lornas songs throughout their entire discography I’ve listened to front to back multiple times don’t sound the same at all. To each their own

twilit wyvern
#

yea I caved

#

It got moved up higher

glacial crescent
twilit wyvern
#

I think Lorna needs to change the song structure a bit better

#

Cause a lot of them are structured very similarly and leave no room for surprises cause you just know what's gonna happen next

junior cipher
#

THANK YOU, I was starting to think I gaslit myself for a moment

glacial crescent
#

idk what to tell you, great their intros are usually at the start of the song what a surprise! but like a lot of their songs don't even have breakdowns anymore, and when they do some have 2, some have 3, even 4 or 5, sometimes they do the chorus right after the first verse, sometimes there's 2 verses before the chorus instead, sometimes a verse and a breakdown, idk what you want them to change in the structure that they don't already do

junior cipher
#

I just listened to this earlier and I cannot recall a single song that didnt follow the same structure; some mixed it up by throwing in another breakdown in the middle, I´ll give you that. Doesnt help when they breakdowns themselfes arent engaging but that´s again up to taste

#

also I think I gotta stop; doesnt lead to anything and we´re just circling around^^

glacial crescent
#

heck even the giotarsolo isn't always where I'd expect it and that's probably the most repetitive part of their structures

junior cipher
#

oh the solos....I appreciate you Adam, but songs dont necessarily need to have a solo, May we have at least one without?

agile walrus
#

Idk man this album is so fuckin boring

#

Do not get the glaze at all

#

They’ve now done the exact same shit for 2 albums and an ep

marsh imp
#

heard thousands of 3 min songs be far more boring than any of Lorna’s longer songs

agile walrus
#

the fact that you think them being long is the problem shows me that there’s no point even discussing this

clever flame
twilit wyvern
#

I think a lot of deathcore bands need to stop with vocal gymnastics

#

And if you do, don't just make it a funny haha moment like how Alex Terrible's bitch ass does it

#

just have it blend in with the instrumentation that compliments it

#

You don't have to be doing something every second of the song... give it some time

#

Literally shit like vocal gymnastics hit much more harder for moments where they matter the most

#

If that's all you do for every song, then it just becomes a chore if the songs follow the same structure

#

Larcenia is the one band that does gymnastics the best because it's followed in line with the tone and instrumentation where every new iteration is something different

#

But they are the biggest offenders for vocal gymnastics 💀

marsh imp
#

ngl sometimes I feel like I’m the only deathcore fan that actually appreciates the sick instrumentals and wants more guitar bass and drum playthroughs that actually makes a good deathcore song.

The biggest gripe I have with deathcore is I’m tired of so many people glazing the vocals as if it isn’t the same lows mids highs they’ve already heard a million times. I get that they’re cool and take practice but the instruments and composition are far cooler.

mixing and production fans:

clever flame
#

of course, this isn't to say i dislike vocals in any way

#

i'm a vocalist after all

#

but i love a good riff and a good guitar solo

#

i'm a huge glazer for anything melodic i won't lie

#

i started with power metal and melodeath after all

agile walrus
#

I just think they have become way too formuleic and safe

#

Nothing about this album stands out from eachother or the last album

#

It’s like eating 2 packs of the same cereal expecting the taste to change

marsh imp
#

all the intros are different, riffs are different, solos, themes, tempos everywhere, some breakdowns even sped up, where and how many breakdowns are placed, some don’t even have breakdowns at all, some got choirs in wherever, everything has a different feel. PR flowed as one big concept with so many different things happening, Everblack had everything their own concept.

If ur not a fan of their style then just say so and move on instead of making something up m8.

lament geode
#

This album is def not formulaic, especially Oblivion, War Machine or Flesh Prison. And the melodies on this ablum are top notch, love the guitar solos and choruses. Breakdowns are the only thing that I'd say is samey, and even then you got Death Can Take Me, Flesh Prison and Oblivion that are way different from the others. The standouts for me are In Darkness, Unbreakble, Lionheart and Death Can Take Me, maybe Glenwood or Forevermore

agile walrus
#

Yeah no I completely disagree with you sorry

#

None of it feels any different

#

Slight alterations in riffs and a couple songs not having a breakdown is not even close to enough

glacial crescent
#

The oboes are new and the flutes are definitely more hearable in the orchestra

twilit wyvern
#

Many songs here follow the same song structure as other lorna stuff

#

not all

#

but many

acoustic pendant
#

I'd consider more formulaic the chord progressions the uses

#

there are slighty changes in the structures in some songs

#

pain remains felt more breakdown-centered than this imo

#

and yet even if some moments among the album were predictable they still managed to hits hard
