I have the same feelings about Lorna Shore. As a HIFI music, de facto it sounds pretty moody and compressed. Try Architects from Abbey Road Live or Rammstein, the difference is pretty big. From deathcore I would say smth like Fit for an Autopsy, at least their last album.

Can I ask, sincerely, why artists like Lorna Shore and Oceans Ate Alaska? Genuinely curious because despite kinda liking these bands myself, I found the new Lorna shore to be so compressed and distorted it was damn near unlistenable on any of my decent quality gear.

Is it just a familiarity/reference thing?

Lorna doesn't sound good with everything, i use the Hifiman he1000se for this band it's hard to get everything from it

I tried it in my Aeon Open X and Closed X and it was just completely unlistenable, like if it was the only thing I heard on the headphones I’d think they were malfunctioning.

Sounds fine on ny gym headphones though which is where I like that kind of music the most, so it all works out

I got the opposite impression from Lorna Shore. That mix is just too busy and it's exhausting to listen to for more than a few songs, especially this new album.
