“On album two, Bloom are one of Australia’s most vital heavy bands, and they’re writing the kind of records that reshape the scene’s landscape.” – Heavy Magazine, 9.5/10

“Bloom have proven themselves as one of Australia’s most important voices in heavy music today. With The Light We Chase, they refine their sound & turn it up to 11.” – Metal-Roos, 5/5

“The Light We Chase is Bloom’s most diverse offering yet…They have an incredible ability to encapsulate the listener and channel emotions through music that make you feel a part of the band’s journey.” – Wall Of Sound, 8.5/10

“Lyrically relatable, sounding amazing – the louder you turn the volume up, the better – Bloom has delivered and exceeded expectations on a real challenge for Aussie album of the year.” – HiFi Way

“The Light We Chase is beyond question the group’s most vulnerable and emotionally charged album to date. Across these 11 tracks we don’t just get a peek behind the curtain, we get tangled up and immersed in it.” – The Alternative Journal

“…it’s about feelings. Namely: nostalgia for youth and your home town, loneliness and heartbreak, questioning the path you’re on. All the key pillars are present here, alongside the inclusion of clean vocals throughout.” – PitPass.com.au

“Bloom has delivered an album that exposes the darkness and disinfects it in The Light We Chase.” – No Barriers

Melodic hardcore group Bloom is excited to share their highly anticipated new album The Light We Chase, out now via Pure Noise Records. The album, which features recent singles Out Of Reach, Tongue Tied, and Withered, reflects a period of emotional turmoil – relationship breakdowns, struggles with trust, and wrestling with hopelessness – offering the band’s most visceral collection to date.

“In many ways, the album is an oxymoron,” drummer Jack Van Vliet shares. “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 band has also shared a brand new music video for their song Keep You (ft. Pat Miranda).

They’ll also making their US headline debut for a special album release show at Chicago’s Subterranean on November 13th.
