Florence + Machine Release Dark, Mystical Sixth Album 'Everybody Scream' on Halloween

Florence + The Machine's sixth album, 'Everybody Scream,' marks a darker, more raw and personal turn for the band, inspired by frontwoman Florence Welch's near-fatal ectopic pregnancy and themes of mysticism, healing, and womanhood. The album blends intense atmospheres with industrial synths, guttural basslines, and ethereal strings, delivering powerful anthems of resilience alongside biting wit aimed at gender dynamics in the music industry. Welch channels trauma into a sacred fury, confronting pain openly while exploring folk horror and spiritual mysticism, making the record feel like a cinematic fever dream. The work was produced over two years with collaborators like Aaron Dessner and Mitski, and showcases a mix of haunting vocals and dynamic, emotionally charged lyrics. Florence + The Machine has supported the album with live performances on major shows and announced extensive tours across Europe and North America, including headlining NOS Alive 2026. While critically praised for its lyrical depth and sonic power, the album is noted for lacking a breakout hit comparable to the band's previous successes.
