Don't listen to the Deathcore kids, Will Ramos and Lorna Shore isn't doing something that hasn't been done already. They're not reinventing the wheel. They just got really famous off one Tik Tok so there's more people seeing them than say Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation.

I genuinely tried to give Lorna Shore a shot because I listen to a huge variety of music and try to stay agnostic when it comes to genre and how mainstream something is

but I found it really off putting in a way I cant quite articulate. Like on a surface level its heavy, with the vocals and the blast beats and all, but at the same time its so cookie cutter and the riffs are obviously written with a radio/mainstream audience in mind.

and I like plenty of radio metal like Lamb of God, Mastodon, Gojira, Avenged Sevenfold but something about the way Lorna Shore presents themselves as this super heavy/hardcore band with fans who hype up how brutal and unique this is (in the YouTube comments) while actually just playing pretty typical radio-courting deathcore just rubs me the wrong way

idk man maybe its elitism but, its definitely not for me

sidenote Cattle Decapitation fuckin rules, but also theyre not deathcore so idk what that has to do with anything
