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.

Lorna Shore Oblivion Lyrics In Full
Shaking hands with death, a means of fallacy
Take all of your regret and fucking bathe in it
We only know how to burn the forest, stain the ocean, rip the Earth from its revolution
Forcing a path through the ebb and flow of rebirth
We feed the curse
We’ve justified the means, paving our way over
Setting fire to Asaiah to watch it burn
We all deserve 6 feet of dirt separation
Beneath the smoldering
A never-ending world inflamed
Our hands are crimson
Stained by the blood, the fucking blood
Now there’s nowhere left to run
What have we done?
What have we done?
We split the star
Fractured the earth
Our time has come
Oh, what have we done?
Fall into oblivion
How far will we go until we lose it all?
Fall into oblivion
How far will we go until we lose it all?
Where do I begin?
We’ve shaken hands with oblivion
A war of attrition
An involuntary epidemic suicide
Sweet cyanide
We cannot yet defy our form
We are the locust swarm
We are all poisonous, venomous inside
The blight of the world’s divide
We only know eradication
So kill the light in me
Diminish the sky’s reflection so we can finally see
This is the war within
All this destruction
Shake up the world unknown to me
We are infernal beings reconditioned for self-destruction
Uh
Our hands are crimson
Stained by the blood, the fucking blood
Now there’s nowhere left to run
What have we done?
Fall into oblivion
How far will we go until we lose it all?
Fall into oblivion
How far will we go until we lose it all?
We can’t escape
Oblivion
What?
Oh, what have we done?
This obsidian, this oblivion born from our sins
Over and over, it echoes inside of me
I feel it coming
Oblivion
Break down the walls of apocalyptic extinction, we exhume
We have carved the path of pain
Treading the fine line of our destructive nature into oblivion
We split the star
Fractured the earth
Our time has come
Oh, what have we done?
Fall into oblivion
How far will we go until we lose it all?
Fall into oblivion
How far will we go until we lose it all?
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.
