Lorna Shore are back with their brand new single Oblivion. Released as the first new song from their upcoming album, I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, due September 12th via Century Media, the track is a towering, eight-minute descent into decay. It’s not just a deathcore song. It’s a reckoning.

As the second track on the album, Oblivion follows “Prison of Flesh” and introduces the existential terrain this record is about to chart. If Pain Remains was a meditation on personal grief, this is the escalation: a planet-wide spiral where guilt, collapse, and catastrophe become cosmic. And yet, the horror it captures feels uncomfortably close. This isn’t fantasy, it’s us. A mirror.

Since frontman Will Ramos joined the band in 2021, Lorna Shore have reshaped deathcore into something grander and more cinematic. But with Oblivion, they’ve done something braver. They’ve asked what it means to be complicit in the destruction of everything we claim to value, nature, truth, and connection, and offered no easy way out.

The Sound of a Dying World

At its core, Oblivion is an indictment. Of greed. Of detachment. Of the human race’s slow, collective suicide by convenience. And it’s framed not with anger alone, but with scale. The track’s structure feels more like a score than a single, moving between soaring orchestral swells and crushing deathcore breakdowns, balancing anguish and awe in equal measure.

Ramos doesn’t merely perform the song. He channels it. The vocal delivery veers from guttural to operatic, embodying both the destroyer and the destroyed. Drummer Austin Archey pummels the kit with militaristic precision, while guitarists Adam De Micco and Andrew O’Connor shift between melodic passages and brutal riffage like tectonic plates grinding into place. Together, they summon a force of nature, one entirely human-made.

Lyrically, the song plunges into ecological ruin (“burn the forest, stain the ocean”), spiritual corruption (“we only know eradication”), and cosmic guilt (“we split the star”). There’s a relentless emphasis on consequence. The lines aren’t speculative, they’re delivered like facts already carved into tombstones.

This isn’t about some sci-fi dystopia. Oblivion is terrifying because it feels like tomorrow.

No Redemption, Only Reflection

What sets Oblivion apart in Lorna Shore’s already-violent discography is its sheer audacity. This is a song with no villain but ourselves. It offers no salvation, no rebirth, only the lingering echo of “what have we done?” That line becomes a mantra, a judgment, and a eulogy.

Placed at the beginning of I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, this track sets the tone for what appears to be a concept album about decay, both personal and planetary. From the internal agony of “Prison of Flesh” to the existential closure hinted at in “Forevermore,” the tracklist reads like a descent into something irreversible.

And perhaps that’s the point. Lorna Shore isn’t here to offer comfort. They’re here to speak plainly in the language of extremes, to score the final chapter of a species that knew better and chose otherwise.

“Oblivion” may be a warning. But it’s one delivered too late, and all the more powerful for it.
