[4] A week and a half later, the band announced the cancellation of an upcoming tour in Asia and that the album (which was developed with McCreery on vocals) would be delayed.
Dom Lawson from Blabbermouth.net gave the album 8.5 out of 10 and said: "With lashings of dense orchestration and a variety of twisted electronic textures providing extra layers of intrigue and charisma, Immortal is grandiloquent and ambitious in a way that deathcore generally hasn't been before.
Not that Lorna Shore are the first band to skillfully weave other elements into the formula, of course, but they've made it sound a lot more exciting than anyone else in recent memory.
"[9] New Transcendence praised the album saying, "What Lorna Shore have made is more than the "next step" in their impressive discography—that is to say, I don't know that anyone is ready for what awaits them on their first foray into the bleak, blistering and brutalizing journey that is Immortal.
Eerie, heavy, gloomy and as gory as a Grindhouse double feature, Immortal is a relentless experience that has rightly earned its name, and thusly every ounce of hype it has accrued.
