OBLITERATED - LORNA SHORE "And I Return To Nothingness" - REACTION / REVIEW

[@AndrewOconnorguitar]

Awesome reaction as usual man, we always appreciate hearing your input. 🙏🏻

[@METALBIRB]

Thanks for watching man, I keep bringing up Adam but I gotta bring up your skill next time haha

[@forevermarked5826]

U Kinda looks like one of the band members , you should start telling people that is you! Hahahaha

[@TheTlMEWARP]

This EP is something special and I can't stop listening to it.

[@BlueBrad91]

To the Hellfire but you hit the nail right on the head by saying so glad they didn’t add a breakdown to the song Return to Nothingness to show they are capable of more

[@codymason97]

It’s fucking incredible album of the year so far for me

[@METALBIRB]

Only one song I haven’t heard yet but I believe you dude

[@TheTlMEWARP]

@@METALBIRB might not have it's own music video (yet) but it deserves a react too!

[@bogenstark_kai8461]

Way to short... I could listen to hours of their music... I hope they re-record immortal with Will at vocals...

[@elliottjesser2813]

Seeing them last night live if you got a chance you have to see them live. Gave me chills this is actually my favorite of the 3

[@killersmentality911]

Will has became one of those vocalist i have been waiting for!

[@Pszemekek]

This song fells melancolic yet hopeful, I like it a lot.

[@FormaAlert]

It's absolutely beautiful

[@Mattis_FH]

I totally agree with you on the whole "breakdown" thing. Don't get me wrong; a great breakdown is fuckin' awesome, but the totality of the song is so much more important in the end. And with this masterpiece they really showed us that they can be more than a "reaction channel band" (No offence, I'm here for the great content!!) and give us the best, modern music to date. Same with Slaughter To Prevail's Kostolom. Yeah, Demolisher's breakdown and Terrible's voice are easy to sell for reactions, but my fuckin' gawd how completely perfect the album is as a whole. They show that they have so much talent and both Lorna Shore and STP really push the boundaries for modern metal and music in general. Yeah, music in general. I can't think of any genre right now that can touch the death core scene in both creativity and pure talent. It's art, no more, no less. Oh, btw; coming from the norwegian black metal scene and in the later years, the doom/sludge scene, six minutes is like an intro. Hahaha. But I can see the point with the longer songs. That's a great pro for me though, so no cons from me!

[@branm25]

This year has been crazy for deathcore. We got Brand of Sacrifice which was crazy and full of experimentation, Slaughter to Prevail which is super fun and moshy, and Lorna Shore doing new mixed with old school death core. I love how much Lorna Shore pulls from from old school death metal. Im not even crazy about deathcore but this year has been great for the genre.

[@michvelnvsh]

Plus distant, mental cruelty and the to the grave reissue!

[@Mattis_FH]

I totally agree. Deathcore is a bit hit n' miss for me; like that genre balance right at the edge of my taste. But this year has been absolutely perfect with all the bands. It's a great year for music in general.

[@swingingfordearlife]

God this ep is so good. I just wake up in the morning and want to relisten to it. GG Lorna shore

[@disappointment5835]

EP of the year, no doubt about it

[@Mattis_FH]

For me, it's kind of nice it's "just" an EP so I don't have to put it in the Album Of The Year category. It's a masterpiece, but I would hate for it to fight against Kostolom. Now they can be number one in each category! That said; more Lorna Shore is always something we want.

[@AHeroOfTime]

This is the best Lorna Shore song I've heard yet

[@monkvsiron]

This song is an absolute masterpiece. How it can be so heavy yet uplifting with that melody running throughout. Lorna Shore is onto some special shit

[@jonshasteen3474]

The fact that this song is in major keys is one thing that makes it stand out from the rest of their stuff, which is usually in minor keys. Makes it sound a bit more hopeful or triumphant, like you're riding a dragon through the sky. EDIT: I say “keys” (plural) because there are a couple key changes toward the end too 😎

[@SticreationsDeed]

This! Absolute Masterpiece.

[@METALBIRB]

Damn thanks for pointing that out bro! Kinda weird for blackened metal to be in major key too isn’t it

[@jonshasteen3474]

METALBIRB Exactly! It’s the opposite for one of my favorite rock bands, The Strokes. Their songs are usually in major keys, so songs like Metabolism that are minor really stand out.

[@viktor821]

The musicianship of these guys is absolutely mind boggling

[@anakinchosen1]

It’s not just the riffs but the timing and production that brings it all in. Insane

[@youtubesbichasspolicys5888]

My favourite thing about this is the fills Austin does during the pre choruses you picked up on, it’s different, reminds me of northlane from way back. Check out Bratva of Kostolom, has the meanest groove since walk came out

[@Andy_Paris]

Lorna Shore created a masterpiece with this EP!

[@METALBIRB]

What's your favourite song off the new EP?

[@dilltacular1308]

Of the Abyss

[@Fwuedwikk]

Of the Abyss 100%

[@HumanGarbage270]

Of The Abyss

[@codybeinert1109]

Call me a follower but most likely Of The Abyss XD

[@mattjones6450]

The title track and Of the Abyss are really fucking close, and are also my two favorite songs of the year lol. I’d say I prefer the title track by just a bit, but both of them are fucking ridiculous. To the Hellfire is of course also incredible, but I think they really show their strengths in the other 2 tracks.

[@disturbiafromthebay]

What I got from this song was the contrast of the somewhat happy sounding keyboards with the dark and hopeless lyrics. Kind of trying to give a false sense of happiness to counteract the fact that the song is about someone dying and returning to nothingness. The song feels like it’s trying to cling to a hope that isn’t there. Super awesome 🤘

[@padtron7679]

Always hang around to hear Metalbirb say he appreciates the shit outta me. Also this EP is a banger.

[@agustinwilliams6956]

in my opinion this is the best lorna shore song because of the chorus dude... he ads fucking melody to the screams, so beautyful

[@ItsJeff_]

This band is so good and Will as an absolute monster of a vocalist!

[@12345zamo]

This EP appeals me to listen and listen and every time i enjoy it more.. Very much like the last of SOI (this one more darker groove and Lorna more faster and crispy yet both so melancholy). SICKKK

[@johnjackson2349]

I really liked this song when I first heard it. Listened to it around 10x now and it's my favorite by a considerable margin! I've been a huge trivium fan for 15 years and never been into the extreme metal scene. Lately though I like the new trivium stuff but LOVE what lorna shore are putting out

[@codymason97]

Of the abyss is mine every song is elite they’re the master class of music right now

[@michvelnvsh]

Tbh i can feel a trivium vibe to lorna shore 😂

[@lenoir936]

Will is a beast damn his job in vocals are amazing in general all the performance of the band at this song its excellent since listening for first time I knew this song will be a masterpiece!

[@hrldhns1]

This is absolutely magical

[@jeanpierre3061]

I'm getting some heavy Power metal and Black Metal vibes here and I love it

[@codymason97]

“Holy shit this is cinematic as hell.” Perfect choice of words

Lorna Shore is here Will is a beast Adam love his guitar work same thing with the other guitarist and of coarse the drummer so sick love this band

[@CapnRiggs2k5]

This EP is ridiculous. I know that the band itself is amazing but the range of Will is crazy. That last high was nuts. Drumming was just wow. Adam is such an amazing guitarist. Flying across the fret board and those harmonics

[@Crashking416]

I'm just putting my face back together, since that solo completely melted it.

[@kennytieshisshoes]

Here is my review of the song. "Wow this is amazing! And it really shows off everyone's skill. The keys in minor key underneath the instruments take this to an almost symphonic level of mastery." Not to mention the complete story that the video tells.

[@outofthedark18_gaming]

This track is insanely good. I'm at a loss for words just so damn good.

[@punchdrunkfunk23]

This EP is tied with I Let The Devil In EP by Currents when it’s comes to my favorite EPs of all time.

[@L3GIQN]

Why is nobody reacting to of the Abyss?

[@devdirty]

Probably because there is no music video for it. It’s my favorite track on the ep

[@climbandslackline487]

Not only is there no music video sadly, the comments have been locked the entire time since the songs release. My favorite track as well.

[@garburto]

@@climbandslackline487 any idea why the comments are locked?

Seems like I just might have to do that track too

[@anakinchosen1]

THIS is the best Lorna Shore song to date 🎶 🥵 🎶

[@timmt2884]

I honestly can't chose between this or 'Of the Abyss'. Basically this EP is just an absolute masterpiece. It's like all their work until now has just been a series of building blocks culminating in 18 minutes of out of this world music by people at the very top of their craft. It's scary how good it is.

[@anakinchosen1]

@@timmt2884 yea dude honestly whichever of the 3 I’m listening to at the time will probably trigger me to say it’s my favorite track. EP so gorgeous

[@BeatdownKing]

Love ya’lls videos!! How would I request a video reaction? :D

[@s1lentsymphony607]

This was a fantastic reaction, and seriously an EP I did not expect to be *this* good. If I might point something out though? You sound very.. muffled. Might want to listen to your video and see if you can fix that.

[@danielspencer4564]

I'm calling it now. Their next album is going to be one of the best deathcore albums of all time. Their songwriting on this ep is unreal.

[@Crash787b]

This is an amazing year for deathcore for sure. To be honest, this is better than Ultima Hypocrita, Empress, Animal and To The Hellfire IMO, and I FUCKING LOVE those songs. Deathcore TOTY for me so far.

[@DerrickCharles5750]

Imminence with Paralyzed, Erase or Infectious with violin and it’s metalcore! Angelmaker with Blood for Blood is Deathcore!

[@R3spectTheV3t]

Bro I waited to watch your reaction out of every other reactors lol

[@METALBIRB]

Bro you’re the realest 👊🏼

[@DaveScottBass]

Might wanna add some high end to that mic of yours, my guy

[@emmetmcnamee5227]

This is quiet a juve switchup, less brutal more melody , they do heavy and melodic so much 🔥🔥

[@michvelnvsh]

I just feel like its super uncommon for a deathcore bands best work to be so far along into their career

[@rybo0072]

Dude if you liked this try crawling King chaos by cradle of filth. Lorna shore have obviously taken so much influence from them and for some reason it's just going under the radar

[@youtubesbichasspolicys5888]

Make them suffer brought the black metal to death core, these guys perfected it 👌

The drummer is just an alien at this point.

Please could you react to Resolve - Emerald Skies, an other great french metalcore band.

[@joshforeman1648]

I’d actually go as far as saying they are the best band in metal rn

[@BaxterD]

I know we keep calling them death metal/deathcore band, but to me they are becoming black metal as fuck and I really dig it.

[@propper-g7725]

It's a beautiful mix of black metal and death metal with some symphonic desthcore in the mix too. It's absolutely perfect

Lmao bruh sometimes your reactions are a miss but I’ll give it to you you pay attention to the song when there’s dudes who are in active bands and they act as if they have heard every possible song and every possible sound they aren’t impressed with anything unless they DO the gimmicky stuff . Nik literally doesn’t say anything about the actual songs anymore .

[@timmt2884]

I'm usually pretty happy with Birb's reactions, but I'll agree with you about Nik, he's become almost a parody of himself recently.

nothing about this isnt generic. Vocalist has one voice and no power. Waste of good instrumentals.
