The band's second EP Bone Kingdom was the first to carry their current deathcore sound and was released in 2012. Maleficium (2013), the band's third EP, reached number 3 on the iTunes Metal Chart and was the first non-digital only Lorna Shore release. The band distances and disregards themselves from any releases prior to Maleficium and considers the EP the "rebirth and true starting point of their career." The band to this day still perform songs from the EP, and it's the earliest material that they will still willingly play live.
Lorna Shore followed the release of Maleficium by opening the Carnifex's Die Without Hope Tour featuring I Declare War, and Here Comes the Kraken.[5] Since then, before releasing their debut album they have toured with acts such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Fallujah, Carnifex, Upon a Burning Body, Chelsea Grin, and Within the Ruins.[6][7][8]
Psalms, their debut, full-length album was released on June 9 through Density Records. The album was produced by Fit for an Autopsy guitarist Will Putney at The Machine Shop.[9]
On September 21, 2016, Lorna Shore announced that they had signed with Outerloop Records and would release their sophomore album Flesh Coffin on February 17, 2017. They released a single entitled Denounce The Light on November 17, 2016.
In the early goings of 2017, bassist and founding member Gary Herrera announced his departure from the band, citing his lack of desire and passion for the music as his main reasons. Flesh Coffin would subsequently be the last release to include Barber and Herrera the only original members from every release in the catalog thus far.[10]
Vocalist and founding member Tom Barber confirmed that he had left Lorna Shore in April 2018 to join Chelsea Grin as their vocalist, replacing Alex Koehler, who departed earlier in the year.[11] Lorna Shore have assured their fanbase that they are going to continue, and CJ McCreery of Signs of the Swarm was eventually confirmed as his replacement after being rumored for some period of time.
