Pain Remains by Lorna Shore

Pain Remains, Lorna Shore's fourth studio album, came out on Century Media Records on October 14, 2022, with Josh Schroeder producing. The New Jersey deathcore band had spent more than a decade reshuffling its lineup, and this was the first full album with singer Will Ramos, who arrived in 2021, the same year "To the Hellfire" put the band on the map. It also brought in rhythm guitarist Andrew O'Connor and new bassist Michael Yager.

Built around longtime lead guitarist Adam De Micco and drummer Austin Archey, it's a monstrous thing: blast beats and orchestral sweep piled into towering symphonic walls, with Ramos lurching from guttural lows to shredded, high-pitched screams. "Welcome Back, O' Sleeping Dreamer" is the track that kept turning up on countdowns well after release.
