Bloom has a new album on the way, The Light We Chase, out Oct. 31 on Pure Noise Records.

“In many ways, the album is an oxymoron,” drummer Jack Van Vliet says of its themes, speaking via press release. “You can’t catch light in your hands, and you can’t have darkness without the light casting its shadow. We all have an idea of something perfect. A memory, a vision of the future, a light at the end of the tunnel. The Light We Chase is that perfection. The sublime. The taste of something good. Our widest exploration of how far metalcore can be pushed and shaped, this album is lyrically diverse as it is instrumentally.”

The Sydney, AU based melodic hardcore band last released  Maybe In Another Life in 2024.
