Torizon Unveil Gut-Wrenching New Single ‘Bloom’ — A Crushing, Cathartic Step Forward
Meanjin/Brisbane-based petalcore outfit Torizon return with a powerful new single, ‘Bloom’, blending emotional depth with ferocious intensity. Produced and mixed by Kalen Austin and mastered by Mike Kalajian (Bad Omens, Windwaker, Papa Roach), the track marks a bold evolution in the band’s sound, capturing grief and resilience in equal measure.
‘Bloom’ is a sonic storm of crushing riffs, pounding drums, and atmospheric synths that coalesce into a track as dynamic as it is devastating. Frontwoman Mish Sharma delivers a captivating vocal performance, shifting effortlessly between guttural screams and haunting melodies, while bassist Ben Gallaher adds a contrasting voice that brings layered emotional storytelling to life. Lyrically, the song tackles the trauma of miscarriage through the metaphor of a flower that never bloomed, unpacking a subject rarely confronted in heavy music.

“There is still stigma around the topic of miscarriage and fertility issues – it’s one of the most traumatic things people go through, and yet it’s still not talked about enough. When we started exploring this concept, people in our circle opened up about the societal pressure to be secretive about it all, which only perpetuates the isolation. This set in motion a body of work that starts with ‘Bloom’ and will unfold over the next few months.” – Torizon.
The track arrives alongside a visually striking music video, directed by Alex Nelson (Emerge Creative), using symbolic red lighting and intimate narrative scenes to underscore the song’s emotional weight.
With ‘Bloom’, Torizon cement themselves as one of Australia’s most important rising heavy acts — fearless in their vulnerability and formidable in their sound. This is not just a song; it’s a statement.
