Gore. release new track 'Angels Like You' with music video
From their ‘A Bud That Never Blooms’ EP
out 24th October via Spinefarm
Gore. have released their new single ‘Angels Like You’ with accompanying music video.
"'Angels Like You' is one of two songs on the EP written about a particular individual, as opposed to a relational dynamic," says vocalist Haley Roughton. "This song is about somebody who appeared righteous and just but ended up being quite cruel. In a bigger scope, this song depicts those who are self-aggrandized and signal their virtue. These people profess their greatness to others as a mask, so that we do not see how much they truly loathe themselves. Recording this song was a cathartic process and helped me let go of that person, and the hurt they left behind."
Roughton, guitarist Alex Reyes, and bassist Devin Birchfield recently announced Gore.’s signing to Spinefarm and will release their ‘A Bud That Never Blooms’ EP on 24th October. Pre-order available here.
’A Bud That Never Blooms’ was produced by Miserable Productions, with Ben McGuiness and Caleb Freihaut serving as co-producers. The EP was mixed by Cody Stewart.

ABOUT GORE.:
Haley Roughton leads the charge in Gore., a band that brings a distinctly feminine perspective to the heavy music scene. Debuted in 2023 with guitarist Alex Reyes and bassist Devin Birchfield, the Texas-based trio quickly made waves with their emotionally raw and unapologetically vulnerable sound. Their recent signing to Spinefarm solidifies their place in the industry.
Gore.'s ‘A Bud That Never Blooms’ EP is a deeply personal exploration of the complexities of femininity. Tracks like ‘Babylon’ confront the painful realities of womanhood, while ‘Doomsday’ reflects on the desensitization to violence and suffering in today's world. Roughton's vocals range from delicate, emotive cleans to fierce, guttural growls, capturing the duality of strength and vulnerability that defines the band’s music.
Gore. count members of Motionless in White, Flyleaf, and Papa Roach, among others, as fans.
Recorded at Miserable Productions Studios and co-produced by Ben McGuiness and Caleb Freihaut, the EP embodies what Roughton calls "emotional gore." It's an embrace of the raw, unfiltered aspects of life, particularly from a female perspective. With plans for more music in 2025, Gore. is poised to continue challenging norms and expressing the full spectrum of feminine experience through their powerful sound.
