Pain Remains

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’ from their hugely well-regarded ‘… And I Return to Nothingness’-EP. Yet, through it all, they upped their sonic ante with ‘Pain Remains’, an album that not only alloys together everything LORNA SHORE has hinted at but it also exceeds that – brutally and magnificently. ‘It feels like a rebirth of everything for us - the energy, the band, the morale,’ says drummer Austin Archey.
