Lorna Shore Dropped Their “Welcome Back, O’ Sleeping Dreamer” Music Video
The last few months have been hella busy for Lorna Shore. Sure, they haven’t put out a new record since 2022’s Pain Remains, but they’ve been on tour supporting that album off and on for a while now. Just recently, they finished their run with Mastodon and Gojira, which had to be an absolutely massive tour in its own right.
Yet with all that now behind them and another tour winding up in November with Rivers of Nihil, Ingested, and Distant, the band released a new music video for the track “Welcome Back, O’ Sleeping Dreamer.” Directed and edited by Eric Richter and produced by Paul Henon//Midvessel, the new video has dark and gore-y imagery. You know, typical fare in our part of the musical universe.
Lorna Shore guitarist Adam De Micco said this song in particular deserved a video because it really got things going for Pain Remains and its momentum.
“‘Welcome Back O’ Sleeping Dreamer‘ is a song that we feel deserves as much of the light as any other song on Pain Remains. It was a pivotal song in the writing process – it was the song to get the momentum going for the rest of the record. It was the song that we had the most enjoyment writing and I think to this day is probably one of our favorite songs on the record.
“It’s as dark as it is light and it’s as intense while not being overbearing. It has become the closest thing to balance as far as our songs are concerned. It is also a song that encapsulates a lot of who we are as a band while being unique from the rest of the songs on Pain Remains.
“Working with Eric was something that we have been wanting to do for some time now. He has always been someone we would reference or were inspired by so it only made sense to do a video with him. It was also a unique experience for us this time because we were in the trenches with him making decisions on everything regarding the video. As an artist you want to see your vision come to light and working with Eric this way, we were able to bring that vision forward.”
As mentioned before, Lorna Shore will be on tour this November. For the full list of dates, be sure to scroll below the video.
