Recently signed to Spinefarm Records, Gore. has shared the music video for its new single “Angels Like You.” Watch it below.
The song is from the band’s EP “A Bud That Never Blooms,” which will be released on Oct. 24, 2024, and is available for pre-order here.
“‘Angels Like You’ is one of two songs on the EP written about a particular individual, as opposed to a relational dynamic,” vocalist Haley Roughton said. “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.”
“A Bud That Never Blooms” track listing:
“Pray”

Roughton leads the charge in Gore., a band that brings a feminine perspective to the heavy music scene. Debuting in 2023 with guitarist Alex Reyes and bassist Devin Birchfield, the Texas-based trio quickly made waves with its emotionally raw and vulnerable sound.
“A Bud That Never Blooms” is a 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 cleans to fierce growls, capturing the duality of strength and vulnerability that defines the band’s music. Gore. count smembers 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.
