Blossoms Fall drop new 'Affliction' music video and single • GRIMM Gent

Albuquerque, New Mexico’s hottest new metalcore band BLOSSOMS FALL just dropped an inspirational new music video and single entitled “Affliction” which owns the sweet spot of our sonic zone like a massive tsunami crashing on our shores. The music video was directed by Benjamin Sachs at Third Shift Media. This is the second single & music video taken from their upcoming EP album La Alma which will be released on February 6, 2026 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced and mixed by Matthew Torres (Lights on the Coast, Cloudtrails, Wasted Potency) at Nightscape Recordings, and mastered by Kevin Thrasher (Escape the Fate, Machine Gun Kelly, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne) at Thrasher Productions.

“This song in particular has been a favorite track for all of us” says guitarist Matt Torres. “So it felt worthy of our first performance video. Initially, we wanted to create an atmosphere that matched the vibe of our previous lyric video. We found the Speakeasy Studio on a random website that books studio sessions. It contained a lot of the same colors as the lyric video and even had grass on the ceiling to make it look like a retreat in the forest to match the vibes of the Luna video. For this particular edit, we wanted a clean but high-definition kind of shot, and Ben delivered. We think that venue did a great job at visually helping us tell our story of searching for ourselves in the woods.”

The new album La Alma by Blossoms Fall is metalcore, but so much more than the current genre classification would indicate. Genre is a moniker, a nickname if you will, and in terms of La Alma, we could thrust a slew of “warriors” into the ring for this fight, like hyper pop, emo core, or modern metalcore with a trance vibe. We could claim that Blossoms Fall create music that resembles a good thriller soundtrack in that they lead our emotions one way, and then they twist us into unexpected contexts, causing glorious disequilibrium and life changing interpretations of our own emotional and psychological landscapes. In other words, this album is a blast of beautiful chaos leading us to the edge of the cliff yet giving us wings…to the lip of the abyss armed with a blazing torch and a backbone of granite. Musically, the first thing we might notice is that drums are absolute thunder, produced to be a force in the forefront and earning its position with monster fills even in the verses. The guitar work is heavy with maximum crunch, like a fiery blast from the jaws of the dragon, the bass a “wall of pound” and the vocals cleverly patterned with textured growls and melodic tapestries. We are also given flashes of ethereal keys and tasty syncopation, demonstrating the band’s ability to not only show force but to add a flavor profile unique, devasting, and addictive as hell. La Alma was produced and mixed by Matthew Torres (Lights on the Coast, Cloudtrails, and Wasted Potency), mastered by Kevin Thrasher (MGK, Blink 182, Escape the Fate, and Iann Dior). The album art was designed by Luis Escalara of Adelphia Studios, and it is scheduled for release on February 6, 2026. Pre-Save or Pre-Order La Alma at this location.
