‘Pain Remains’ is the sound of a band that has honed their sound and identity.

From the opening choral chants and orchestration (composed by guitarist Andrew O’Connor) of ‘Welcome Back, O’ Sleeping Dreamer’ straight into labyrinth of musical twists, turns, technicalities and raw emotion at the core of tracks like ‘Sun Eater’ or ‘Soulless Existence’ and culminating in the ‘Pain Remains’-trilogy, Lorna Shore has woven together a sprawling document of ambition, soul, and ability that few can match.
