Lorna Shore have released their new single “Prison of Flesh”, a blistering cut from their upcoming fifth album I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, out September 12 via Century Media Records. The track arrives with an intense music video directed by David Brodsky of My Good Eye: Music Visuals.
Vocalist and lyricist Will Ramos describes the song as one of the heaviest the band has ever written, pairing maximum sonic brutality with deeply personal subject matter.
“This song is exactly what I imagine a lot of people expected of us to put out. We took all the heaviest stuff we had to create this incredibly dark, high-stress/tension song,” said Ramos. “I personally think the breakdown at the end of this is one of my favorites that we’ve ever written and I’m excited to see how people engage with this one.”
Lyrically, “Prison of Flesh” explores Ramos‘ family history with dementia and the fear of losing one’s grip on reality: “The lyrics for this song are about my family and our history of dementia.
“The idea that the world is falling apart, and about the fear of losing touch with reality. ‘They’re coming to get me’ is my way of personifying ‘demons’ or something that makes you feel like you’re losing pieces of yourself. The closer they get, the further detached you become until you’re nothing but a husk of fear and delusion.”
The single follows “Oblivion” and “Unbreakable”, both also featured on the new album — their first full-length since 2022’s Pain Remains. The New Jersey deathcore outfit — rounded out by lead guitarist Adam De Micco, drummer Austin Archey, rhythm guitarist Andrew O’Connor, and bassist Michael Yager — have built a global following on the back of viral streaming numbers, sold-out tours, and a genre-defying approach that keeps pushing extreme metal’s boundaries.
I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me will be available in digital, CD, and multiple limited vinyl editions, alongside a new merch collection. Pre-orders and pre-saves are open now.
Lorna Shore has also announced a North American tour for later this year alongside openers The Black Dahlia Murder, Shadow Of Intent, and PeelingFlesh. Get your tickets here.
