<p>For Lorna Shore, 2020 was nothing short of a reckoning - in a career built on challenges, changes and a single-minded vision.

It also is the sound of Lorna Shore breaking out of any sort of categorization and stepping into their own as a great extreme metal band. With?'Pain Remains', Lorna Shore has truly arrived.
