Lorna Shore: …And I Return To Nothingness and Pain Remains
Technically, this is an album and an EP, but also, despite also being deathcore, the “Pain Remains” trilogy at the end of the album is one of the most heartbreaking, melancholic things you’ll ever hear; and, while harsh and beautiful, you don’t wanna kill your demon-killing vibe. In their stead, you can slot in …And I Return To Nothingness, which is part and parcel with the rest of Pain Remains. It’s not just music heavier than dying stars about the fabric of the universe coming undone, with some of the most gravity-crushing breakdowns ever composed, but also Will Ramos comes out of nowhere to claim the title as one of metal’s most ridiculously versatile voices.
And, yes, of course, the end of “To The Hellfire” deserves its own separate shout out. Human beings should not be able to make those noises. They just shouldn’t.
