Lorna Shore guitarist Adam De Micco recently sparked debate with his remarks about Guns N’ Roses’ classic hit “Sweet Child O’ Mine” during an interview with Guitar World.

When discussing the band’s creative direction for their new album following the success of Pain Remains, De Micco reflected on how touring influenced his songwriting. “After touring Pain Remains, riffs or ideas I thought were cool didn’t land when we played them live,” De Micco said. “You realize a part is too complicated, or isn’t musical or digestible.”

He then shared an unexpected source of inspiration that helped shape his musical approach. “I was at the gym once and heard Guns ‘n’ Roses. Sweet Child O’ Mine is a terrible song – I hate Axl’s voice and don’t even like Slash’s playing, but it stands the test of time,” he explained. “Nowadays music comes and goes in less than a year, yet there are bands from 30, 40 years ago, and people are still excited to hear it, and I’m like, ‘How?’”

De Micco emphasized that this realization became central to his desire to craft music with enduring value. “That was my main inspiration – writing something timeless. I wanted to write a guitar lick that some kid wanted to learn. Crazy Train was mine and Andrew’s,” he continued.

This philosophy on timeless songwriting has had a direct impact on Lorna Shore’s latest work. According to Blabbermouth, the band released their fifth studio album, I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, on September 12, 2025, through Century Media Records. The album marks a significant evolution from Pain Remains, featuring singles such as “Oblivion,” “Unbreakable,” and “Prison of Flesh.”

It showcases a more mature and developed sound that the band describes as the next level of what Lorna Shore represents. De Micco played a major role in shaping the guitar work, combining technical intensity with a focus on timeless songwriting—aiming to create music that transcends fleeting trends and holds lasting appeal.

Metal Insider noted that the band continues to push boundaries in extreme metal while incorporating a wider range of musical influences. De Micco’s dedication to creating memorable, enduring music highlights how even controversial opinions about classic rock can spark innovation in heavy music.

The band’s 2025 plans include a North American tour with The Black Dahlia Murder and Shadow of Intent, reinforcing Lorna Shore’s growing presence in the metal scene. Wikipedia also reported that a European tour is scheduled for early 2026, underscoring their expanding global reach and steady momentum following the new album’s release.

Lorna Shore’s rhythm guitarist, Andrew O’Connor, recently spoke out about speculation regarding a supposed rivalry between his band and Slaughter to Prevail. In a statement shared with Louder Sound, he addressed the circulating rumors directly.

“There’s no rivalry between us (with Slaughter To Prevail) whatsoever,” O’Connor said. “To be honest, we don’t pay any attention to what they’re doing. We’re only interested in what we want to do.”

Vocalist Will Ramos also offered his perspective on the band’s unexpected ascent within the metal community.

“The fun thing is not knowing how we got so big,” Ramos said. “Not having control over what we’re doing and just letting it work its way out is more exciting than sitting there and trying to figure out how we captured lightning in a bottle. That’s boring.”

He further emphasized the natural growth of their career: “And I think the fact that it happened organically is like a bonus. Everything’s very genuine. Maybe that has something to do with why people like it.”

Both Lorna Shore and Slaughter to Prevail continue to make waves in the deathcore scene, with their latest releases sparking considerable excitement among fans. Notably, Lorna Shore’s “Cursed to Die” and Slaughter to Prevail’s “1984” have ignited passionate conversations online about the future of the genre.

Lorna Shore’s rise, however, has not come without difficulties. According to Wikipedia, the band has undergone major lineup changes in recent years, including the replacement of both a vocalist and a guitarist. These shifts, while challenging, played a role in shaping the group’s current identity. The addition of Will Ramos as frontman, in particular, helped refine their distinctive sound. Their growth highlights how authenticity and genuine artistry resonate more strongly with audiences than industry-driven hype.

Rather than fueling rivalry, the simultaneous success of both bands showcases the creativity and innovation within the deathcore genre. This healthy competition not only pushes each band to evolve but also benefits the entire metal community.

Lorna Shore vocalist Will Ramos recently discussed his approach to handling fan feedback, explaining why he avoids letting outside opinions influence his creative process during an interview with Loudwire. He reflected on the psychological weight of negative comments and how they can overshadow praise from fans.

“Sometimes you’ll have a really good video you’re really confident in, you’re stoked, and then you put it out and you read a whole bunch of good comments,” Ramos said. “And then you read that one bad comment and that one comment just like completely cancels out the hundreds of good comments that you just got and all you’re doing is hyperfixating on that one person.”

He noted how this fixation can become consuming and ultimately counterproductive.

“You’re just like, ‘This person’s so dumb. They don’t know what they’re talking about. Why would they even say that when they’re not right?’” he continued.

For Ramos, personal fulfillment is more important than external validation.

“If I’m happy with it, then I’m happy with it and that’s what matters at the end of the day,” he concluded.

This philosophy has guided Ramos during his tenure with Lorna Shore, a period marked by both growth and transformation. According to Louder Sound, his arrival in 2020 was a turning point, elevating the band from underground recognition to prominence in the deathcore scene. Their viral hit “Pain Remains” on TikTok dramatically expanded their reach, underscoring the power of modern platforms in bringing metal to new audiences.

Still, their journey hasn’t been without obstacles. As Kerrang reported, Lorna Shore endured multiple lineup changes and setbacks, including the departure of past vocalists and controversies involving a former member. Despite these challenges, Ramos’ conviction and passion have been instrumental in the band’s resilience and progress.

He has also shown a desire to push creative boundaries beyond genre conventions. In another Loudwire interview, Ramos revealed that his dream collaboration would be with Sleep Token—an example of his determination to evolve artistically regardless of fan expectations. His commitment to artistic independence mirrors his stance on feedback, emphasizing the importance of personal satisfaction over outside approval. It also reflects his broader vision for Lorna Shore’s future direction.

Lorna Shore’s lead vocalist Will Ramos recently sat down with Rock Sound for an interview and explained why Sleep Token is one of his favorite bands.

The singer expressed his love for Sleep Token with the following words:

“I’m gonna say it; I love Sleep Token. You guys are listening right now. I love you guys. I was just talking to your manager, and I was like, you guys are my favorite band.”

Ramos further said that Sleep Token’s style of music really fits him:

“I don’t get to sing often because people are like, ‘Will’s just the screaming guy.’ Yes… but I love singing. And Sleep Token are the perfect…hey, I can kind of fit in there; it’s in my range. Shout-out to Sleep Token, keep making amazing music, and I will keep listening to it and doing covers of it.”

Actually, his cover of Sleep Token’s ‘Chokehold’ in March had already shown Will’s admiration for the band. It proved that the vocalist could do more than extreme-metal screams. He said in the description for his cover:

“Sleep Token is putting out their new album on May 19, and I am absolutely loving it so far. Vessel’s voice is right in my range, so I figured I’d keep dropping covers! On that note, I hope you enjoy my cover of Sleep Token’s new song ‘Chokehold.'”
