Blessthefall Take Aim at Reddit Kids with “Mallxcore”, Announce First New Album in Seven Years

For the first time in years, Arizona-based metalcore outfit blessthefall have announced the impending release of a new album, titled Gallows. Set for release this September, the album was described by vocalist Beau Bokan as “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 blessthefall fan since Day One or a first-time listener, Gallows will end up on your Top 3 metalcore albums for 2025.”

Along with the album announcement, the band dropped the first single off of Gallows with the track “Mallxcore”. And according to Bokan, it’s a direct shot across the bow at internet haters — specifically on Reddit.

“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.”

Gallows will be released on September 5 via Rise Records, but you can preorder your copy today.
