SHOCKING: Lorna Shore Guitarist Adam De Micco Quits Band Just Months Before Album Release

In an unexpected and devastating announcement, Adam De Micco, founding guitarist and principal songwriter of Lorna Shore, has officially left the band, just months before the release of their highly anticipated album I Feel the Everblack Festering Within Me, scheduled for September 12, 2025.

The news broke late Sunday night via De Micco’s personal Instagram, where he posted a cryptic black-and-white photo with a brief caption:

> “After 15 years, it’s time for me to step away. No drama, just growth. Thank you for everything.”

Fans and fellow musicians were blindsided. De Micco has been the band’s creative force since its inception in 2009 and is widely credited with shaping their signature blend of blackened deathcore and orchestral grandeur. His guitar work has defined albums like Flesh Coffin, Immortal, and Pain Remains.

Lorna Shore followed up with a short statement on their official accounts:

> “We respect Adam’s decision and wish him nothing but success. The music wouldn’t exist without him. Our upcoming album will still be released as planned. More updates soon.”

While the band confirmed that De Micco’s contributions to the upcoming album are intact, questions now swirl around their upcoming North American tour and future live performances. No replacement has been named yet, and rumors suggest multiple high-profile guitarists have been contacted to audition.

The timing couldn’t be more dramatic, with the band riding high off the success of their single “Oblivion” and a massive tour kickoff looming in September. Fans are now left wondering: Can Lorna Shore maintain their momentum without the man who built their sonic empire?

This marks a turning point in the band’s legacy—and possibly its most uncertain chapter yet.
