US Deathcore act LORNA SHORE, has released an official video for their new single “Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames”, directed by David Brodsky (MyGoodEye). The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album “Pain Remains”, out on October 14th through Century Media Records.
The track is part of a trilogy and LORNA SHORE commented on it: ” ‘The Pain Trilogy’ is a three-part tale focusing on the stages of grief and vulnerability and exemplifying it through a love story. The first song, ‘Pain Remains I: Dancing like Flames’ begins with the main character becoming enamored by the person within his dreams. He decides to turn to this reality as a sense of purpose despite knowing that the closer he gets to his goal, the further it seems to drift away. This leads to the second song, ‘Pain Remains II: After All I’ve Done, I’ll Disappear’. This is the part where the person vanishes and the main character struggles to accept the pain. He as well wishes to disappear and seeks to throw it all away.
LORNA SHORE supports suicide prevention and support. We encourage all to speak to their issues and spark conversations that help and mend us all.”
LORNA SHORE have already announced The Pain Remains North American headline tour. The band will be joined by ABORTED, INGESTED, ANGELMAKER and OV SULFUR starting on October 21st in Philly and wrapping on November 20th in Montreal.
LORNA SHORE guitarist Adam De Micco, states: “We are excited to celebrate the release our new album ‘Pain Remains’ across the US alongside some of our favorite bands. This tour allows us to put on a performance we feel this record deserves while giving fans an experience to remember.”
For LORNA SHORE, 2020 was nothing short of a reckoning – in a career built on challenges, changes and a single-minded vision. For the New Jersey quintet, 2020 signaled the pandemic and cancelled tours. The following year presented the band with a staggering creative challenge in the form of the song, “To the Hellfire ” (currently at 11M+ views on YouTube, 22M+ streams on Spotify), from their hugely well-regarded EP …And I Return to Nothingness. Yet, through it all, they upped their sonic ante with their upcoming album, Pain Remains, that not only aligns with everything LORNA SHORE has hinted at, but it also exceeds that – brutally and magnificently. “I’m a firm believer in the butterfly effect,” says Adam De Micco. “While you can try and boil it down to one song or one moment in a song, that’s just one moment in a career with a lot leading up to that.”
“‘Hellfire’ was a big, viral moment for the band, but we are way more than just a viral 30-second breakdown band,” adds drummer Austin Archey.
Clocking in at just over an hour, “Pain Remains” is as far-reaching in scope as any modern Extreme Metal album. It thinks big, pushing beyond preconception or musical boundaries.
