“Prison Of Flesh” is one of the heaviest and most intense tracks by the American deathcore band Lorna Shore, released as part of their upcoming album I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me. The song was launched on August 14, 2025, accompanied by a visceral and powerful music video directed by David Brodsky. The band members include vocalist and lyricist Will Ramos, lead guitarist Adam DeMicco, rhythm guitarist Andrew O’Connor, bassist Michael Yager, and drummer Austin Archey. This song showcases their mastery of blending brutal deathcore elements with high emotional tension and dark, cinematic atmospheres.
The theme of “Prison Of Flesh” is deeply personal and emotionally raw, inspired by vocalist Will Ramos’ family’s struggles with dementia. The lyrics metaphorically represent the experience of losing touch with reality, the fear of mental decay, and the fracturing of identity. Ramos describes the “demons” as the parts of oneself slipping away, creating a palpable sense of dread and detachment. Lines like “They’re coming to get me” vividly personify this invisible, internal battle with the fear of losing one’s mind. Musically, the song builds immense tension and releases it in crushing breakdowns, with powerful vocals driving the anguish home. Fans and critics alike have praised the song for its emotional depth and sheer heaviness, with the final breakdown being noted as a highlight.
Lyrics Of “Prison Of Flesh”
I can’t tell where to go
I’m falling unto twilight
Where the shadows meet my skin
Something has come for my mind
Slowly it eats me inside
And I can feel
They’re coming to get me
I feel it closing in
I am fading, faster
Searching for answers in the dark until I depart
I drank from the river
Withered, lost in the void of my mind
I’ve come to find
I’m running out of time
They’re coming to get me
A hollow body vacant of all but fear
I can’t escape the dark within
These demons reside in me…
The song and video together create an intense and immersive experience, capturing the terror and helplessness of dementia while pushing the boundaries of deathcore music. Lorna Shore’s “Prison Of Flesh” continues the band’s trajectory of blending brutal soundscapes with deep personal narratives, making it a standout in their catalog and in the metal scene of 2025. The band’s upcoming album promises to explore further these themes of decay, despair, and existential horror with unmatched sonic intensity.
