...and I return to nothingness

Description

For LORNA SHORE, the triumvirate of songs at the heart of '...And I Return to Nothingness' is nothing less than an exorcism - and a dive into something even darker. From the orchestral passage that opens the EP's title track, straight into a bombast of blackened intensity and furious grandeur, these New Jersey-based extremists are back, rising like a phoenix from the ashes. Reborn and sworn to darkness. A forthcoming fire that will astonish even the LORNA SHORE faithful. When the world stood still in 2020, LORNA SHORE delved deeper into the creative instincts that made them a force to be reckoned with in the extreme metal scene through their groundbreaking albums 'Psalms' (2015) and 'Flesh Coffin' (2017). Since then, they have interwoven influences and ideas ranging from the symphonic grimness of European black metal to the complex, deadly sound formulas of death metal and the auditory intensity of hardcore. What LORNA SHORE has achieved is a new level of blackened technicality and the next step in their darkside journey. The artwork for '...And I Return to Nothingness,' designed by renowned Polish painter Mariusz Lewnadowski (Bell Witch, Fuming Mouth), underscores LORNA SHORE's creative focus and intensity. The three tracks of the EP: 'To the Hellfire,' 'Of the Abyss,' and the title track are proof that LORNA SHORE is not only continuing their fiery legacy. They ignite it and spectacularly set their legacy ablaze. Read more
