THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS! (Lorna Shore "Sun//Eater" reaction) 

Come hang out on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/finnmckenty

Finn, you act like you've never lost your job, home, and family over a devastating breakdown. Usually I agree with you. But idk on this one, man.

Often overlooked is how impressive the lyric writing is

The Reddit hype cycle: "Man, everyone needs to hear this track!" *Everyone hears it and agrees it's great* "Eh, it's overhyped now."

Saw Will outside a show last night and screamed “Will, you fucking rock dude” from the top of the parking deck, and he gave me the nicest, most calm “thank you” I’ve ever received. Only regret was I was seeing Sum 41 and not them.

I like how you briefly go through bands history on these videos, I feel it adds to the reaction

I’m not sure I agree with people saying it’s the exact same as To the Hellfire, it seems like they went for something much more triumphant and major sounding. I don’t envy their main songwriter, following a massive breakout hit (especially one partly built on a gimmick) sounds extremely stressful.

Honestly, I actually do make those stank faces every time I listen to that breakdown, even when I’m listening to it quietly while working.

God I love this song. It's just massive. I know some people think it sounds like To The Hellfire, but I tend to think most of those people aren't necessarily big fans, ya know? I listen to Lorna for Lorna's sound, not for them to try to recreate themselves every album. It's kind of like the non-metalheads who will tell you this sounds no different than Cannibal Corpse lol. Give me all that blasts and dinosaur noises!

What Finn doesnt realize is that all of those reactions were real, but the reason he doesn't get it is because he died inside decades ago with the rest of us 30-40 somethings. Jokes aside, it's literally just because the people who get the biggest views from these songs are entertainers. No one wants to watch someone sit in a dark room listening to deathcore with a straight face.

Up to this day, 730k views in 7 days for a band as extreme as lorna shore is no joke, they are literally passing everyone when it comes to attention in the extreme metal circle, good for them, i like this song and hyped for their next album

The problem with releasing tracks one at a time is it feels like they all need to be singles and one up each other. Back when you had to buy a full album it gave room for there to be winners, losers, surprises and flops. Now it feels like you always have to be huge and can't let a song grow and stretch

If Lorna Shore brings back tastefull solos without them replacing breakdowns I'm down for it

While so many of the reactions are definitely over the top, I do remember stopping what I was doing and thinking “holy shit!!” at the breakdown for Hellfire when I first heard it. Sun/Eater is great, probably won’t be the same viral hit as Hellfire but it’s displaying a consistent quality from the EP that will hopefully show on the full album.

this song is so beautiful I love the lyrics and the vocals along with the insanely fast guitar and double bass..........

The power metal sun grab 😂 I love you Finn. And this new Lorna is fucking DOPE

I love that OH FK!! it's not every day you see finn that animated.

Lifting weights, and listening to you in the background. "Tic Tok broccoli hair" is the funniest shit I've ever heard lol. Fucked my rep up, audibly laughing

Some reactions are really over the top but when I listened to the breakdown of Lifeblood by Brand of Sacrifice I was genuinely like "😮 oh wtf this is sooooo cool 🤯", so yeah sometimes cringe behaviour is surprisingly genuine lol

gotta give credit to these guys for making weird ass vocals, nerdy powermetal-like string chord progressions/melodies and extreme blast beats something mainstream. istg if you told me this would be the second coming of deathcore 5 years ago I would've spat whatever I was drinking. I don't even listen to it 'cause it's just not for me but the grind is respectable.

The reactions to TTH is just as good as the song. Listening to people from other genres from rap to theatre are just so impressed with this dudes raw fucking talent

That closing brought the whole track together very well. Amazing way to end a solid song

I gotta say when i heard hellfire I had a similar reaction by myself with no one or any cameras around. Some are faked for the camera but some are legit. Mark my words. Edit: Seeing them at Reverb in Reading, PA tomorrow, w/Carnifex, Suicide Silence and a few others.

Old SS and As Blood Runs Black Allegiance album are the two goat snare sounds

I'm a hardened metal listener of 25 years, but I really like Lorna Shore

That immortal album was ridiculous, not a bad song on it..

I noticed the mix thing the instant I heard To The Hellfire. I don't love it, but I appreciate that it stands out. I much prefer Immortal's mix.

If I could scream like Will I'd hide at the top of some mountain trail and terrifying random hikers with my dinosaur screaming.

imo you can really hear how their mix has improved from their older stuff, even immortal

i used to chase tornados with my cousin. she's a professional chaser now and her and her husband make bank selling videos and super picturesque shots of storms. they also shoot a lot of totally crazy videos where they get within a quarter mile of storms. they're crazy. anyway, she told me last Christmas that Lorna Shore is often what they are listening to when they are getting dangerously close to these storms. makes sense to me. this music sounds like an F5 tearing a small town to shreds. in a good way, of course.

The velociraptor in the thumbnail is just perfect

I like the mix and how the Producer brings out different things at different times. Sometimes it's Will, sometimes it's the guitar, sometimes it's synths. Drums are always in front though!

Mr. Lorna Shore is too pretty to be completely accepted by the metal community. Another 10 - 15 years ( and hopefully an extra 30 lbs & hair loss) needs to pass before he gets the rep he deserves. Until then, Lorna Shore is a pop boy band. Disney music.

Thank God I stopped doing embarrassing reaction videos years ago. Love your ironic and good humored approach to the genre

I was In tears laughing. Fin you legit are a comedic genius, you should do funny stuff more often like this. I should have made a reaction video of me laughing while watching this video lmao.

I love Lorna Shore, but honestly Mental Cruelty’s latest album, A Hill To Die On is the better version of blackened deathcore

The only legit reaction to a stupid heavy breakdown is as follows: - Stank face and genuine laughter - Shaking your head and saying something along the lines of "nah, fuck off" - More laughter - That thing where you blow out air and it makes your lips flap, like what horses do - That empty look of sheer defeat and resignation - Acceptance If you reaction to a breakdown doesn't resemble the stages of grief it's probably not a very good breakdown

These over the top dense mixes with symphonic reminds me of peak Dimmu Borgir. I hear symphonic black metal.

Love all of LS material! Excited for the Chaos&carnage tour

This is the "Dear Immortal Disfigurement: This is how it's done" song 😅 absolutely loving it. There is so much done right in this song and somehow, they can pull it off. If this is what the album will sound like, it's going to be amazing. To my ears, at least. And I didn't think about it before, but this absolutely reminds me of polish death metal legends Vader. "The art of war" EP and then the album "Impressions in blood"... completely over the top, the orchestral/synth intros, not a second of rest.

r/deathcore has indeed already turned on the band about half the comments were negative when the first post went live

This channel is better than your main channel Finn. And your main channel is awesome.

The people in your chat are so funny 😂 someone said “elden ring core” when you did your scream freak out and I pictured my boyfriend raging at that damn game so yeah elden ring core is an perfect nickname for this genre 😂😂😂

Dude I love pingy snares, David Silverias snare on korns first album is just pure filth and raw aggression. My absolute favorite snare

I just saw Lorna Shore with Signs of The Swarm and other bands. Wills vocals live were really lacking, maybe it was just a bad show? But Signs Of The Swarm absolutely *CRUSHED IT*

That "oh fuck" guy is legendary. He needs to simmer down

I hate to admit but I watched that reaction comp and I died of laughter when that guy screamed OHHHHHH FUCCCKKKKK

as much as i love lorna, to the hellfires mix was great, the mix on this one seems to have slipped a tiny bit but.

That breakdown sounds no different than the thousands of other deathcore and grindcore breakdowns I've heard

Cytotoxin as the goat snare, it's like a refined "St. Anger" snare.

man i love when finn reacts to people reacting. its hilarious cause i feel the same about these guys lol

That guitar in the back has the best paint job! 😍

Lorna Shore sounds how Caelid in Elden Ring looks.

Apparently unpopular opinion: CJ was better than Will Ramos. CJ walked so that Will could run, and I don't mean that in a technical kind of way, they're both equally amazing at doing harsh vocals on a technical side. But it just seems that Will now has to do the kind of vocals he does because CJ invented that in "Immortal" and laid out the path for him to follow. Now every LS song has to be more "ridiculous" than the one before, because CJ set the bar so high. And also it felt more dynamic and natural when CJ did it, I just feel like he had a really good sense of dynamics and timing and knew what was going to work out for a song and what would be too much. I still like the new LS stuff, I just think that CJ was more fitting for this style.

I can confirm I’ve reacted to songs genuinely like that before. It’s not fake

Hey it's me who made that Lorna Store meme. :D

5:33 This is what I mean when CJ's best vocal ability was that you couldn't follow along to the lyric sheet because he just gurgle's aggressively. That's what his vocals used to be just gurgle gurgle gurgle now he just sounds like the guy that replaced him which is comedy fucking gold to me. I've gone back to Darkest Spawn(My favourite CJ LS song) and Cesspool Of Ignorance multiple times since he had his little stink and ya it's just sounds like Clown Core where they just gurgle incoherently and the lyrics don't match up with the sound. I fell for the hype when he first popped off but now I just don't get why anyone is impressed by his vocals when anything good he does someone else does 10x better. That's like being impressed and blown away with my guitar playing when Jason Richardson or Tim Henson is sitting over there decimating their guitar with one hand and their eyes closed.

I definitely missed the "someone get this man an apple" comment in the Livestream chat 😂😂😂

I love how your tumbnail game has evolved. And how the video is more about other content creators than the song. You the best homie. Love from norway

Finally someone to add to my playlist that can rival infant annihilators masterfullness

Loved the react Finn! Love LS! Will Ramos is a beast of a vocalist and he seems like a super fuckin nice guy too, the kinda funny dude youd like to party with! On another note i know reacts aren’t really your gig and i get it why, but i would really like to see you react to Orbit Culture either the song Wargblod or Mast of the World a few of their heaviest songs! I really like how melodic OC is and at the sametime very heavy!

Solid track and certainly another crowd pleaser even after TTH. Hellfire prob hits harder and more creative in terms of presenting a deathcore piece. I will deffo be interested to see them play live in the UK which I hope and expect they will at some point. Loved how u were reacting to a reaction compilation in your reaction review / I’m here for it for Finn! Nice one 🇬🇧

Waiting for the Mckenty Reacts channel any day now

The image of you freaking out is burned in my brain, devastating

I have been listening to Lorna shore since 2010 or 2011. I have always liked their mixes.

I've got fucking tears watching this...holy shit pure comedy gold +10000

All 3 of lornas vocalists are total beasts geez.

Something I think not many people are acknowledging for a possible reason Lorna shore has gotten as big as because Will is attractive AF. You mentioned it with his Hair but like they're very much blowing up the way BMTH did in the scene with Oli.

The best example of referring to the people in the band by their band name has to be Bevis and Butthead saying "god damn it Pantera go to your room! Pantera go do your homework!" Classic!

Someone who isn't Finn: *reacting their own way* Finn: "Oh this is a fake reaction, cause they don't react like me and I don't get there are people who have a different personality. So again, it's must be fake, it is clickbait"

I love the reaction video reaction video format. I wonder what Rick Beato thinks about it?

As always, love your shcitt my dude. Lorna is one of my super duper faves. Check out "the absolution of hatred" with their original lead singer. I think you'll like that a little more given your love for old school metal core. Also, I got a curved sword melee build. On journey 2 as of yesterday. It gets a shit load harder. Cheers brew.

I hear this song is about someone going for their bag of Sun chips and finding it empty.

I'm gonna react to you reacting to all the reactors reacting to Lorna Shore. I'll post it then you can react to it, it'll be fucking crazy, so over the top, literally devastating.

To the hellfire had a good chorus which is rare for deathcore, but this one didn’t get stuck in my head

They played in Columbus on the Chaos & Carnage tour the other night. My goofy ass didn’t even find out till the next day =[

5:39 I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bro you never stank faced to a breakdown? Just too cool.

Ngl I genuinely did have a reaction similar to some of the guys in that video you put in the beginning when it first dropped.

I'm a Lorna Shore fan but Lorna Shore doing Lorna Shore things lol . what's new?

The first thing I thought with this song was power metal + deathcore + orchestral and it's amazing

I agree wholeheartedly on the mix I'm so tired of the overly sterile flat sounding metal mixes there's no life in the music it actually makes it really boring to listen to it's the one thing I love with this style of mix it feels alive

this video make me laght so hard a couple of times, good job bro

This goes beyond Deathcore...it's Blackened Symphonic Death Metal and as said, it's Fuckin Great.

Oh man finn! I'm fuckin crying! Hahahahaha. Your reaction to immortal. Awwwww fuuuuccckkk!!!

Missing an opportunity to check out "Hangman" that Spite just dropped. Chaos completely. Lorna is a bit repetitive and lacks the pure panic and chaos that the newer Spire tracks are presenting. I'm excited for the 22nd to see the new album drop. Perfect mix of doom/hardcore/beatdown/nu metal all blended mercilessly.

These guys came around my local scene in 2012, played a show with my band, they were on a mini-tour and came to NY and KILLED it to a VFW hall with 35 kids. They were HUSTLING, so sick

Lorna shore just played with suicide silence in columbus last night

His wife's gotta be in the other room like "OHHHHHH FAAAACKKKKKKK"

5:44 black metal bot comments

The "warpy" effect on the "synth" melody is a whammy bar on the guitar melody lmao. It's layered on top of the orchestra samples throughout the entire song where the orchestra is present, except in the intro. There's no actual synth in the song unless you want to count the orchestral track

I believe a lot of the hype is due to Will Ramos. I don't listen to much deathcore, but honestly I've never heard many screams sound close to that. His little snarls and wet sounding growls are pretty fucking nuts, whether you like it or not.

Metal bands love a vocalist without a microphone. Not sure why, it's a small thing, but it gets to me.

Authentic reaction to deathcore music: “Now I’ve shot my wad and I’ve got nothing left.” God lmfao

Thank God I was in the hospital already, they fixed me up after that break down

another snare that sounded dank as fuck was on glass clouds “perfect war forever”, although my brother said it sounded like someone smacking a plastic tupperware bowl lmap

So much like Symphonic Metal, definitely Septic Flesh territory and its Fucking Great. Also For Young Guy Will Ramos seems really grounded and sound...Nice Guy. Hope the Dude stays that way and I really wish all the best for the current Lorna Shore line up cos they deserve it. Very impressed.

I prefer when the vocals are more forward in the mix. But good song either way

I don't know if you already know/knew this, but Tom Baber who is the current vocalist of Chelsea grin and also the vocalist of Darko is Lorna shores founding vocalist.

The guy screaming "OH FUCK" has me dying 😂😂
