“It's about my family and our history of dementia”: Listen to Lorna Shore's heaviest song to-date

We're just weeks away from Lorna Shore's long-awaited new album I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, and the New Jersey crushers have dropped another bloody taste in the form of Prison Of Flesh.

Standing as the deathcore crew's heaviest song to date – yes, really – Prison Of Flesh is a visceral, vicious response to vocalist Will Ramos' familial experiences with dementia.

“This song is exactly what I imagine a lot of people expected of us to put out,” he says. “We took all the heaviest stuff we had to create this incredibly dark, high-stress/tension song. I personally think the breakdown at the end of this is one of my favourites that we’ve ever written and I’m excited to see how people engage with this one.

“The lyrics for this song are about my family and our history of dementia,” he continues. “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.”

I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me is released September 12 via Century Media.
