1 messages · Page 2 of 1
3 songs in so far
i have to say
im genuinely surprised
im kinda loving this lol
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.
first time listening to it fully rn
Mike(their bassist) likes that one a lot too
He said it was fire af when I was talking to him earlier lol
i got chills during that solo
Yeah damn good solo.
he'd be correct in that statement
This is my personal favorite run.
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
Death can take me is so peak. As a whole, I’m giving it a 9.5
kinda sad I can only listen to forevermore 6 times an hour rn, the on repeat numbers aren't gonna be there lol
Forevermore is so good
yepp
Disembodied Tyrant latest track > new Lorna
not even remotely close I'm sorry
May agree on poetic edda but dt last single was their weakest they ever released
That's the point
althoug i think divine stigmata Is Better than edda ep
attila clears all other deathcore bands im sorry
crow black sky is an underrated DT track
the whole ep, omenkiller Is One of their best work
Aight, I'm going in. Wish me luck
This album is basically pain remains 2.0 but I kinda prefer pain remains over this
They changed the kick drum sound and guitar sound and it makes it sound flat
where is ma bass
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
kick sometimes sounded like Toms
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
agreed
4/10 songs are straight up from pain remains
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

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
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
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.
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
Ye, I'm kinda stuck between 6,5 and 7 after my first listen, I feel you
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
its a 10 idc
The intro to In Darkness gives myegoosebumps
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
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
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
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
the opener literally has into the earth ripoff chorus riff
it is the same
war machine is great song
Glenwood is legit pain remains reincarnated
i dont recall it sounding like into the earth at all lol
but then again into the earth was a super forgettable song
The tremolo lead in the chorus is similar to into the earths chorus
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
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
...not yet, anyways. i still need to finish it lol
There’s no low points on the record imo pain remains sadly did with apotheosis and wrath
IMO
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
Sleeping dreamer soulless and cursed to die are my favorites
Into the earth is a HM sun eater I think is overrated

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”
Type shit
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
The breakdown callout for war machine is underrated
“You pray for rain I’ll give you the flood”
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
On god
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
Its my favorite track on the album
Then probably forevermore tbh
But it's too long for me want to loop it lol
Ignoring the fact I've looped 15 minutes long songs
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
ok this was actually fire
i was not expecting to enjoy this that much
death can take me best song
I feel like this album went back to Immortal and then grew its own branch with PR as a neighboring branch
I heard pain remains 6 times
Glenwood is definitely pain remains
that's an insane take
Very far
I remember at the end of the song saying to myself when it was over... wow.,.. this is pain remains
The only pain that remains is all you mfers that are bitching in here. 
(IDK, I haven't listened to it yet.)
The pain that remains is knowing they wont go back to making stuff like Flesh Coffin and Immortal
Death Can Take Me has lots of immortal vibes and Lionheart has lots of Obsession and Relentless Torment vibes
Unbreakable to Apotheosis, In Darkness to soulless existence
Honestly.... lionheart being on or off this album legit wouldn't change anything for me
in no means do they sound all that similar though, still very different songs on their own
Time to wait another 3 years in hopes Lorna does Flesh Coffin
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
Between this album and Imperium Delirium, I feel like this one takes aoty for me because of the sense of hope it carries
War Machine I can feel a tint of Brand Of Sacrifice/Mick Gordon
like the electronic elements
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
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.
well the song is literally called war machine
Doesn’t mean it needs to sound like CoD gameplay. Like I said, only issue with the song was the samples. Everything else was quite good
I’m just sayin it made sense
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting a tomato in a fruit salad
I was gonna say putting a tomato with pineapple sure is weird but then I realized that Hawaiian exists lol
Fair. I’ve got several varieties growing in my garden, and they blow any store bought out of the water
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.
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
A Nameless Hymn’s verse riff is so fucking dirty, even gave some of King Ov Deception vibes
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
I really liked death can take me. Probably my 3rd favorite from the album
The feel when the orchestra drops out into the oboe and violin in Forevermore
At least on a first impression I liked the second half of the album better
The guy in the cover looks like a humanized general grievous
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
Glenwood has Constance vibes in terms of the music video
mix of BoS and SoI and i fucking dig it
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
Forevermore solos pain remains 1-3
agreed
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
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
Hot take, I like Pain Remains more than this
Considering you have 68 plays for the 10 minute song, makes sense
Pain Remains is so painfully overplayed for me that I cant even reasonably say which I prefer
i hate pain remains so this is an easy pick for me lol
forevermore mogs every single song off pain remains
id take this one song over the entire pain remains album
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
I appreciate more that forevermore is optomistic in its grief then pessimistic
I stopped thinking of this as a competition, and moreso that everblack and imperium actually complement each other in the grand scheme of things
Third listen and only tracks i don't like are lionheart and war machine
honestly
fair enough
i think i like Everblack more than Imperium Delirium though
Darius Tehrani would be the perfect guy to cover Nameless Hymn
I’d love to hear his “WHERE DID YOU GOOOOOO”
ooooh, true
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
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)
i love them all except war machine and lionheart, those for sure are the weakest of the album imo
forevermore is generational peak
I agree
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
I think the trilogy had the most emotional worth
the rest of that album didn't really do much
But it was still really good
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
Sun//Eater and Welcome back O sleeping dreamer are bangers
Sleeping dreamer is a fucking 💗
sleeping dreamer, into the earth, apotheosis, and wrath are the best off pain remains
My English is good and this is a fucking
dtreamer, into the earth, sun eater, soulless existence, apotheosis, wrath and the trilogy were the best off pain remains
all of it tbh
I used into the earth for vocal sessions
my heart my soul my body has grown so cold is such a good line for tunnel throat practices
all in all Sleeping Dreamer is the best thing that came out from Will era of Lorba Shure
Yea it was a great thing for me to practice highs
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
Muichiro?
Maybe I'll have to give this another chance
yes
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
Forevermore is one of those really rare properly composed 10 minute songs and took my back a huge trip of nostalgia
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
Yeah even as a huge soi fan lorna has way more melody
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
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
A 4/10 is something close to what I’d rate FIR
for me it took everything bad from pain remains and removed it
with better song writing
this blows pr out of the water its not even close
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
I didn't listen to their last stuff, got them on "do not play this artist" now
popular monster had like 3 good songs
pretty much
one thing for sure is they’re far worse than lorna shore they can’t even be a comparison
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
I still think Oblivions one of their best songs. Replayed tf outta that one so many times
Nah, FiR manages to reach into the negatives
Interesting perspective on it. For me so much of Everblack is just wasted with somewhat atmospheric stuff where I just want some damn riff salad.
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
when people say that it’s always a super vague complaint that could apply to 99.99% of all music
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
How dare you insult terrible bands by putting FiR in with them. 
I didnt bring them up; if it were up to me I would´ve spend my day not thinking about them
that’s called a band found the sound they like doing after they’ve experimented throughout their discography. If something feels too samey then I’d jump to a different band whenever the mood calls for it
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.
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
exept for half the times where they literally don't do it 😭
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
THANK YOU, I was starting to think I gaslit myself for a moment
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
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^^
heck even the giotarsolo isn't always where I'd expect it and that's probably the most repetitive part of their structures
oh the solos....I appreciate you Adam, but songs dont necessarily need to have a solo, May we have at least one without?
THIS. There’s never been a single formula to grasp. President is a band id call formulaic, not lorna.
If Lorna still had the same amount of fans as their <Flesh Coffin days with the new music they have today, nobody would be trying to push the “samey formula” rhetoric
My sincerest apologies lol. I’ve just been on a listening spree of bands I’ve been putting off for a while so I can form opinions
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
heard thousands of 3 min songs be far more boring than any of Lorna’s longer songs
the fact that you think them being long is the problem shows me that there’s no point even discussing this
i personally think more deathcore bands should do guitar solos
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 💀
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:
glad i'm not alone on this
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
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
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.
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
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
The oboes are new and the flutes are definitely more hearable in the orchestra
