Rock’s darker angels fly again. Bastion Rose release a new single called "Someday." It is loud. It is heavy. It carries the weight of a two-million-stream catalog and the daily expectations of hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners. But those are just numbers.
To understand the sheer, triumphant energy of this track, you have to understand the silence that came before it.
“Only a few years ago, the silence was literal. Cancer,” says Bastion Rose singer and guitarist, Austin Frink. “I had recently watched my parents pass on, and I fought my own physical war not to join them. I did not sing. After surgery and treatment, I couldn't. But hope has a way of coercing those in despair back to motion. To build. To survive. The whisper became a croak. The croak became a quiet, hoarse note. That note became a roar. Bastion Rose is the roar."
Musically, the track is a towering achievement of progressive rock. Building on the world-class sonic blueprint established with three-time Grammy-winning producer David Bottrill (Tool, Godsmack, Mastodon, Muse) on the band's earlier records, "Someday"pairs relentless, aggressive instrumentation with an undeniable, aspirational hook.
Where previous releases explored the grit and dirt of sheer survival, "Someday" is the breakthrough.
"It is the moment you finally stand up," Frink explains. "You realize that you alone have the power to rebuild your reality. You are the creator of your world."
That reality is scaling rapidly. Supported by recent acclaim from SPIN, Metal Hammer, and Classic Rock Magazine, Bastion Rose is translating massive digital leverage into a formidable real-world footprint, with their eyes already beyond their upcoming album, ‘Blue Rising,’ to their following record and international campaign of live shows.
“There is no light without the weight of the dark. Scars persist, but in fact compose the art of ourselves. We are powerful, fragile things, expanding and dissolving. How beautiful it is to build and to grow and to reach for the sky as long as we live and breathe.” - Austin Frink, Bastion Rose
"Someday" is available on all major streaming platforms.
