Arizona quartet blessthefall — featuring Beau Bokan (vocals), Eric Lambert (guitar), Jared Warth (bass), and Elliott Gruenberg (guitar) — proudly announce GALLOWS, their first album in seven years, arriving September 5 via Rise Records. Pre-orders are available here.
"You ever hear a song from a band and go, 'Holy fucking shit, they nailed it? That’s what 'mallxcore' will make you feel. This song was so fun to write as we went in with no intentions other than writing the most blessthefall song possible. The song title is a poke at the r/Metalcore reddit haters."
"We knew the music video for 'mallxcore' needed to be as fun as the song was. We hand-picked Tanner Gordon to direct because of his amazing work with bands like Spiritbox. In the video, we all have normal, mundane jobs then I'm recruited by an over-dramatic party host who needs a band to perform at her shindig...STAT. As a bonus, there are some really cool easter eggs throughout the video that we dropped in there for the
hardcore fans!"
"Gallows is a culmination of everything we love about writing music. We took our time and only wrote when we felt inspired. Every song you hear on this album was written from a place of excitement and freedom and you can hear that shine on every track. From the visceral screams over some of the most disgustingly heavy parts we've ever written to the massive sing-along choruses, there's something for everyone. If you're a die hard BTF fan since Day One or a first-time listener, Gallows will end up on your Top 3 metalcore albums for 2025."
-Beau Bokan
The album also features guest appearances from Story Of The Year, Alpha Wolf, and Caskets.
