Lorecore is a music lore podcast where heavy music meets heavy meaning, and the commentary lives somewhere between fangirl and full-on philosopher. We begin at the altar of Sleep Token, but the ritual doesn't end there. From Bad Omens to Ghost to La Dispute, we explore the artists who build immersive sonic worlds through systems of meaning like mythology, psychology, religion, philosophy, and more. Through lyrical dissection, narrative theory, and symbolic analysis, Lorecore is for those who do not just hear sound — they hear story, spirit, and something sacred beneath the surface.
