Earlier this year, Lorna Shore released an E.P. entitled …And I Return to Nothingness to overwhelming praise by both fans and critics alike, with Wall Of Sound boldly proclaiming; “Welcome to your E.P. of the year”. The E.P. marks an important milestone for the band, as it is their first release with new vocalist Will Ramos, who showcases his fearsome, demonic vocalisations in full force on these three songs. Between the ominous melodic passages and down-tuned brutality that seamlessly blends deathcore, death metal and black metal, it is no hard feat to see why this exciting release is so popular amongst deathcore fans.
Rock Sound recently spoke with guitarist Adam Di Micco following the release of the E.P. The guitarist explained that there was a lot of doubt directed towards the band following Ramos’ appointment as their new vocalist, stating; “A lot of the conversation around the band at this time was that whatever we do wasn’t going to be Lorna Shore anymore, and it was going to suck” and “With people telling us that we couldn’t do it, I was going to make sure that they would eat their words…Those people are the reasons these songs sound like this. We took that anger and used it to our advantage.”
Di Micco also touched on the group’s writing process for …And I Return to Nothingness, saying; “We also wanted to touch on all different aspects of the band and cover all of our ground with Will. So you have ‘Of The Abyss’, which is more of a typical Lorna Shore song, the sort of thing we would normally do. But it’s also done better than any other Lorna Shore song we have done like that too. Then you have ‘…And I Return To Nothingness’, which is the riskiest song. It’s not heavy, but it’s very emotive, melodic, big, and the song I have wanted to write with the band for years. So that’s why so many avenues are touched on.”
…And I Return to Nothingness is available on all streaming services, and numerous physical pre-orders of the album are available here.
