History Music / LornaShore

** ''Immortal'' influenced prominent SymphonicMetal elements and was also significantly heavier, with numerous slam breaks and the usage of seven-string guitars on multiple tracks.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Hard 10 for everything from ''Bone Kingdom'' to ''Psalms'', standard 10 for ''Flesh Coffin''. ''Triumph'' was a soft 10.

As of December 23, 2019, CJ [=McCreery=] has been fired from the band following numerous accusations of serial DomesticAbuse and sexually predatory behavior. After some deliberation, the decision was made to release ''Immortal'' on its originally scheduled date, and the band has stated in unambiguous terms that they are not breaking up and will continue with a new vocalist as soon as they have found a suitable replacement.

* LeadDrummer: Austin Archey is easily the single most recognizable member of the band, as he is the second-oldest member next to Adam De Micco, is friends with almost everyone in large portions of the metalcore and deathcore scenes, and is known for his frequent appearances in the touring circuit as a fill-in, roadie, or tech.

* SmallNameBigEgo: CJ, even before he was kicked out. He didn't even particularly like being in the band, hated touring (and would constantly bitch and complain about petty things while on tour and was regularly rude to fans and other bands), would regularly decide he just didn't feel like going onstage and ditch his bandmates for the night, half-assed the recording process for ''Immortal'', and generally did the absolute bare minimum. In short, he treated the band as an ego boost and clout generator and little else.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: In a video interview, Tom Barber stated that he honestly wasn't sure how his bandmates felt about his jump to Chelsea Grin. Austin Archey more or less answered this in a Twitter post that accused Barber of using the band that he helped build up and the bandmates whose blood, sweat, and tears were shed along with his along the way for short-sighted personal gain while acting like the accomplishment was his alone, straight-up referring to him as a "complete loser". Subverted with CJ, as he wasn't even really a friend to begin with; he wore out his welcome very quickly and quickly became a thorn in the side of his bandmates (and picked up a rep in the touring world for being a gigantic JerkAss who was to be avoided as much as possible), and even before he was outed, they were sick of his shit and were gearing up to fire him just for being a lazy, selfish prick.

* IAmTheBand: Zigzagged with Adam De Micco; he is the sole songwriter, but the other members do have creative input, and he generally stays out of the spotlight and is content to let Austin give interviews and serve as the face.

As of December 23, 2019, CJ [=McCreery=] has been fired from the band following numerous accusations of serial DomesticAbuse and sexually predatory behavior. Definitive further announcements have yet to be made, though the band is apparently in talks with Century Media about how to handle ''Immortal'' in the wake of CJ's outing and ejection and expects to be able to offer something more concrete fairly soon.

* IndecipherableLyrics: "This Is Hell", which really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone familiar with CJ [=McCreery's=] work with Signs of the Swarm. While he generally enunciates his mids fairly well, the man's highs and ''especially'' his lows have always been completely incomprehensible.

* LeadDrummer: Austin Archey is, aside from CJ [=McCreery=], the single most recognizable member of the band, as he is the second-oldest member next to Adam De Micco, is friends with almost everyone in large portions of the metalcore and deathcore scenes, and is known for his frequent appearances in the touring circuit as a fill-in, roadie, or tech.

* {{Gasshole}}: CJ is renowned for his incredibly loud belches that he can mostly do on command, or whenever he wants to annoy his bandmates or touring partners (which is often).

* MetalScream: Tom Barber was famous for his hoarse, shout-like lows that were somewhere between a Type 1 and a Type 2, as well as his fairly standard Type 3 highs, while CJ [=McCreery=] is equally famous for his guttural Type 2 lows that are best described as slam gurgles done with tunnel throat, as well as his shrill, squawk-like Type 3 highs.

* PluckyComicRelief: CJ's role in the band, as anyone who has ever toured with the man will tell you about all of the wild and ridiculous things that he will do just to make people burst out laughing.

!!The band contains examples of the following tropes:

* {{Deathcore}}: Became this with ''Bone Kingdom'' and started out as a chuggy, breakdown-centric act before taking a more technical direction on ''Maleficium'', followed by a more blackened one on ''Psalms'' and especially ''Flesh Coffin''. While they still do not debate the fact that they are a deathcore band, they are much less heavy on the "core" part of the sound these days.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Triumph'' was a melodic metalcore album, while ''Bone Kingdom'' was ''much'' chuggier and more breakdown-oriented than their later material. Even ''Maleficium'', while certainly more reflective of the band's current style, had more breakdowns and was more tech-oriented, with only some trace blackened elements.

** ''Maleficium'' was significantly more technical and less breakdown-focused, as well as introducing the blackened elements that would later dominate their sound.

* IAmTheBand: Zigzagged with Adam De Micco; he is the sole songwriter, but the other members do have creative input.

Formed in Warren County, New Jersey in 2010 by Tom Barber (vocals), Aaron Brown, Jeff Moskovciak (guitars), Gary Herrera (bass), and Scott Cooper (drums) as a metalcore act, the band almost immediately put out ''Triumph'', their debut EP. Brown left very shortly after the band formed, however, and Adam De Micco replaced him the following year. This lineup embarked on a small regional run up and down the Northeast before tracking ''Bone Kingdom'', which came out around the beginning of 2012, though Moskovciak and Cooper left at some point during the year. The former was not replaced right away, but Austin Archey jumped in to replace the latter. The band kept on grinding throughout 2012 and 2013, and by the end of 2013, ''Maleficium'', their third EP, had dropped and made something of a splash online. The buzz that they had gained allowed them to gain spots on multiple tours with major acts, and a decent amount of 2014 was spent on the road. Connor Deffley also wound up joining around either the end of 2014 or the beginning of 2015, rounding out the lineup for the first time since 2011. This lineup went on to track and release ''Psalms'', their full-length debut, in June of 2015, which was hailed as a remarkably mature and well-thought-out release from a promising new band. The next year or so was devoted to touring the hell out of the album, and by the end of the year, they had already run back into the studio for their second full-length. ''Flesh Coffin'' was released in February of 2017 to excellent reviews, but Gary Herrera also announced his departure around the same time, citing general burnout. The band continued onward with a full year of touring, but a bigger shock came in April of 2018: Tom Barber had replaced Alex Koehler in Chelsea Grin and had left Lorna Shore. The band stated that they were not calling it quits, and after many rumors about the new vocalist, a still image from a new video was shown on Twitter that confirmed the rumors that [[Music/SignsOfTheSwarm CJ McCreery]] had joined, followed by an official announcement that spelled it out. "This Is Hell", a standalone single, was released in September of 2018 as their first work with [=McCreery=]. The band's third full-length is done as of spring 2019, and upon completion of the ''Flesh Coffin'' touring cycle, they signed a deal with Century Media Records. ''Immortal'' their third full-length, will be released in early 2020.

* InNameOnly: They have no remaining founders as of 2018, though Adam De Micco and Austin Archey have been in the band for the bulk of their career.

* NobodyLovesTheBassist: They did not have a bassist from when Gary Herrera left in 2017 up until when Mike "Moke" Yager joined in 2019 and used studio tracks for live appearances during that time.
