If you’re somehow not aware that Austin Archey of Lorna Shore is basically a human drum machine, here’s proof! Archey has teamed up with Meinl Cymbals for a crushing playthrough of Lorna Shore’s 2025 track “War Machine” off their I Feel the Everblack Festering Within Me record.
Even if you’re not a drummer, it’s a pretty entertaining watch – mostly in that Archey doesn’t even come close to breaking a sweat. Dude looks like he’s about to start a conversation with someone any second.
