If you want a good measure of Lorna Shore’s popularity at this moment in January 2023, consider that in 2018 (pre-Immortal, “To The Hellfire”, and obviously Pain Remains), they were opening or supporting bands like The Faceless on tours. Clearly these kinds of tours are where LS cut their teeth, and now in 2023, they’re supporting Mastodon + Gojira’s North American co-headlining tour coming up in a few months.
Sounds pretty insane, right? Not really, to be honest. Last year, just after the release of Pain Remains, they were agonizingly close to reaching one million monthly listeners on Spotify, and their new record even debuted on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release. Hats off.
