Following the release of the first single “Stone Kiss” (Stream/Video), “Morning After” explores the psychological and emotional weight of reaching a breaking point. According to the band, the song centres on the concept that “when your soul hits its lowest point, then and only then, your real core can be exposed”.

Lyrically, the song navigates themes of addiction, deception, and the stark reality of the morning after a personal disaster. The track features the band’s signature blend of heavy, driving riffs and the atmospheric vocal interplay between Kostas “Corax” Katoikos and Marita Makaronidi, highlighting the band’s focus on “affection of shame” and the search for redemption through pain.

Formed in late 2018 in Varkiza, Greece, Blossom Death was established by former Sorrowful Angels frontman and lyricist Kostas “Corax” Katoikos, alongside Marita Makaronidi and drummer Argy Deligianopoulos. After debuting with the EP Mistaken in 2019, the band spent the following years expanding their line-up and refining a sound that balances heavy guitar riffs with atmospheric, melodic arrangements. 2023 saw the band release a split EP, Eon Must Fail, with In Burial. 

The upcoming album, Spirit, is a move towards more complex, emotionally charged dynamics. The tracks lean into the contrast between dark, introspective melodies and high-intensity instrumental sections, reflecting the band’s focus on themes of transformation and depth.

1. Stone Kiss
