I think I'm one of the few people on the planet that isn't crazy over Lorna Shore.. all of their songs sound "jumbled" up, if that makes sense? It sounds like all of the instruments are just blended together as one big messy noise. I know that's probably more because of the mix/mastering and not the band but you know what I mean.
This is why I love will ramos, he has so much energy during concerts and he's such an inspiration to me to practice my vocals and he keeps me goin
It's just beautiful to listen Will scream. I feel sad for the people that are not able to appreciate how insanely hard it is to do what he does, and why he is so good because of it.
I'm going to say this if it wasn't for Lorna Shore Pain Remains album and Will amazing vocal I would've never gotten into deathcore

Will is honestly so skilled at what he does, I’ve heard lots of songs by Lorna Shore but hearing the one take vocal covers always blow me away with how much skill he has and his pronunciation of words in his screams. Will is one of the main reasons I got into death core after I found To The Hellfire.
I think that Will's Charisma is one of the reasons why Lorna Shore are so popular. Idk really but I think that His personality makes me like the music even more.
Lorna literally couldn't have gotten a better vocalist. Will became an absolute legend in like a single album and that's saying something.
Kyle Anderson from Brand of Sacrifice is my personal favorite since his style tends to be a bit more comprehensible, but I think Will Ramos is the most talented vocalist hands down. His ability to stay composed and consistent while staying at that level of intensity is insane.

If you wanna get your mind blown, listen to burn victim by methwitch. The music is even more cacophonous than most metal but the vocals are insane. Cameron (the only guy in the band because it’s a solo project) does these sick whistle tone screams. Before I heard his music, I’d never heard any vocals like it. Easily one of the best fry distortion vocalists out there.

Lorna finally got the recognition they deserve with To the Hellfire, of course in part due to Will's crazy vocals, but on this album you could already hear all of the instrumental work that many also praise about them like the symphonic elements and the great riff work.

I’ve loved Lorna since Flesh Coffin dropped but have never gotten to see them live yet so I’m ecstatic that I get to see them three times this year
Will is just an excellent frontman overall. His ability, personality, and I'd say he's charismatic. I feel he's become the face of deathcore and will probably leave a good legacy at the end of things
This is what they closed out their main set tracklist with (followed by the trilogy), but it was cool bc this song could essentially be on Pain Remains and fit right in

If I remember correctly CJ released a statement in video showing that the woman who accused him of misconduct was essentially a stalker. But I'm glad the band decided to just keep moving and not take a breather and waste time, Will has been a fantastic replacement and has become a fantastic vocalist all his own. CJ's contributions on this album though should be applauded though.

As you said man, metal vocal is just singing but with adding distorsion in different ways, Will using sooo much ways in one line so he can literally sing and screaming at the same time. It's Chester Bennington's level of Control 👌

Will reminds me of my golden. The sweetest, most playful, yet most _insanely_ protective dog I'd ever had.
That one super high part that was inhumane is like the opposite of Alex Terrible awesome vocal line on Demolisher. Just a thought.
CJ's vocals on Immortal can't be topped. I love Will and this was a great performance but the power behind CJ's voice is something unique to him and him only.
