The Bloom Of Petalcore With MISH SHARMA From TORIZON

Interview by Kris Peters
Brisbane-based petalcore outfit Torizon have continued their strong
approach to 2025, today releasing their second single of the year
with Sober.
A sequel to previous single Bloom, Sober explores a more vulnerable
side of Torizon's musical psyche and continues the conceptual
journey that will be exemplified over the course of the band's
debut EP - also announced today - Meliora, which is scheduled for
release on September 19.
And, in further announcements, Torizon hit the road for their first
headline run of shows this October.
In an attempt to keep up to date with everything happening with
Torizon, HEAVY sat down to chat with vocalist Mish Sharma. We
mention Torizon's blazing start to the year and welcome them back
after a brief period of inactivity.
"Yeah, we were quiet in the background working away on a lot of
things," she almost apologized. "We were working on levelling up
everything, really. Our songwriting, tech, visuals, everything. And
that took a couple of years to plan, write, produce, plan marketing
and strategize. So here we are, back again (laughs)."
Sober also marks somewhat of a transitional point in Torizon's
music, showcasing raw emotion and vulnerability unlike anything the
band have attempted before.
"We wanted to do something a little bit different with it," Mish
agreed. "It is a little bit quieter, and it's got moments, but then
wait till the bridge… that takes you away! And then you get the
screams. So, musically it was just about, honestly, whatever felt
right in the moment."
In the full interview, Mish delved into the thematic connection of
Sober to their previous release Bloom, focusing on a couple's
journey through grief and addiction after fertility struggles. The
upcoming EP, Meliora, aims to delve into these complex issues while
offering a hopeful perspective. Mish highlighted the significance
of inclusivity in mental health discussions, sharing her personal
experiences and the need for a supportive environment.
We spoke about the challenges of writing for subjects that are
often shunned, detailing the conceptual journey of the EP and its
desired outcome. Mish explored topics Torizon touched on as a band
going into their first major release, and how Meliora reflects
Torizon in 2025. She mentioned the upcoming tour and what to
expect, plus more.
