New Jersey hell-raisers Lorna Shore make their triumphant return to Australian shores and their first visit to New Zealand this October.
Lorna Shore will be joined by American deathcore merchants Whitechapel for all Australian shows, Massachusetts heavy hitters The Acacia Strain will take the stage for all shows and New Zealand death metallers Organectomy will open on NZ dates only.
The tour arrives in support of Lorna Shore’s 2025 album I Feel the Everblack Festering Within Me. The band’s fifth record topped the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart and received rave reviews, with Kerrang! calling Lorna Shores the “latter-day Parkway Drive if someone peeled off all their skin” and awarding the album four out of five.
