History Early years, line-up changes, and Psalms (2009–2015) Lorna Shore was formed during the first quarter of 2009 in New Jersey by Jeff Moskovciak and was named after a minor love interest of Batman from the series Batman Confidential. The band's first EP entitled Triumph, released in October 2010, carried a metalcore sound. The band's second EP Bone Kingdom, released in February 2012 was the first to carry a deathcore sound, albeit in a more progressive style. Maleficium, the band's third EP, was released in December 2013. The music video for the single "Godmaker" became a hit on YouTube after being released by BeheadingTheTraitor. Maleficium had a black metal influence unlike the first two EPs. Maleficium was also re-released in March 2014 by Density Records. Lorna Shore followed the release of Maleficium by opening Carnifex's Die Without Hope Tour featuring I Declare War, Betraying the Martyrs and Here Comes the Kraken. Before releasing their debut album they toured with The Black Dahlia Murder, Within the Ruins, Archspire, Oceano, Fallujah, Fit for an Autopsy, Rivers of Nihil, Cattle Decapitation, Upon a Burning Body, The Last Ten Seconds of Life, and Chelsea Grin. Psalms, their debut album was released on June 9, 2015, through Density Records. The album was produced by Fit for an Autopsy guitarist Will Putney.
