Extreme metallers LORNA SHORE, the triumvirate of songs at the heart of …And I Return to Nothingness – EP are nothing short of an exorcism – and a plunge into something darker. In time fo today’s release of the EP, the band is unleashing a band new music video for the title track, “…And I Return To Nothingness”, which was directed by Joey Durango.
In June, the band dropped their viral track and music video for “To The Hellfire”, which has over 2.8 million viewsand racked up over 4.1 million Spotify streams alone. The track debuted and peaked at No. 4 on the Spotify Viral 50 chart and has been used in over 2,000 TikTok videos, including the viral reaction video by Nik Nocturnal, which has over 4.4 million views to date. Additionally, fans have been posting their own renditions of the breakdown in “To The Hellfire” for the #LornaShoreChallenge, with close to 39 million views and counting.
…And I Return to Nothingness introduces their new frontman, Will Ramos (A Wake In Providence), a longtime friend and veteran of the scene that birthed the band. LORNA SHORE began what was to be both a trial by fire and a victory lap on the European Faces of Death tour, headlined by Polish thrashers, Decapitated. They held their own and won over crowds only to face the challenge of the tour being cancelled and being a continent away as the world shut down amidst the wildfire spread of COVID-19. In that time, the seeds of …And I Return to Nothingness were sown. As the world locked down, DeMicco, Archey, Ramos and guitarist Andrew O’ Connor plunged deeper into the creative instincts that initially made LORNA SHORE a fixture in the extreme metal scene. Embellished with artwork by noted Polish painter Mariusz Lewandowski (Bell Witch, Fuming Mouth), …And I Return to Nothingness reaffirms LORNA SHORE’s creative focus and intensity.
Teaming once again with Immortal producer Josh Schroeder at Random Awesome Studios in Midland, Michigan, the band was ready to take the next step. The EP’s three tracks: “To the Hellfire”, “Of the Abyss” and the title track are proof that LORNA SHORE isn’t just continuing their fiery legacy, they’re reigniting it and spectacularly setting their very legacy ablaze.
