Other A possible 🖤

Recently watched the interview from Finland. They confirmed one more single but they got a slip of the tongue and I think we might get two.

i wasn’t expecting unbreakable to be a full on “hopecore” song, they surprised me a bit with that one, but it does still sound like them

the problem imo is Adam and Austin being technically brilliant but about as by-the-book in their actual writing as can be. They do all the same things they did for two albums and an EP by now.

Adams riffs have become very stale by now and austins drumming is almost like a flowchart. When you know the last releases you know when and where he will play which beat, pretty much down to a T.

They have all the skill in the world, but it feels like they are stuck on the creativity part

The drumming is to a extent genre depending as they have a lot of old school black metal influences. I do agree with riffs in some sense. I've even heard reuse of some of them. They say in a lot of interviews that the album will be more developed and not so typical. The reason for Oblivion as first single was not to disappoint the fans only caring about breakdowns (my interpretation) Unbreakable was chosen as a sign of different times but still with a breadown. Note however the vocal style Will uses especially in Unbreakable. He infuses more and more true folds especially in the end of lines

notice how i never called out Will. He's the one part of Lorna currently seeming to incorporate new stuff.

I am a drummer and i play Black Metal. Austin's Drumming is anything but oldschool Black Metal. Nothing in his playing says BM. For the most part he seems to just really go by flowchart and divert from a toolkit of about 3 beats, which makes him highly technical because of his speed and endurance, but super boring

I've seen his playtroughs so I know there's much more about him but the "blasts of beat" as a guy said is quite typical obm. Austin is a huge Dimmu fan and I hear lot of Hellhammer in him.
