The band’s new album, The Art of Survival, is set to drop on October 7 and can be pre-ordered HERE. Bush is also currently on the road with Alice in Chains and fans can check out those remaining tour dates here below, as well.
“Heavy is the Ocean” is the second single from Bush’s upcoming ninth LP. “Oh Lord, this is going to open the record,” said lead singer and frontman for the band, Gavin Rossdale, of the track and its memorable guitar riff. “It really sets the tone and the gravitas of the album. I love the power of the ocean. It’s mesmerizing to me. It feeds your soul. The song uses the imagery I love. At this point, I’m chained at the zoo of rock! So, I was like, ‘Fuck it, I’m going to turn that puppy up. This one definitely represents The Art of Survival.'”
Rossdale adds of the forthcoming LP, “Instead of being mournful or self-piteous, this is about the success stories of humanity’s survival against the odds. People just find a way to push through. We’ve all obviously suffered to varying degrees. I think the nature of life is the art of survival. Everyone is being tested all of the time, but we find a way. In recent memory, we’ve made major strides and shown great resilience in the face of war, endless instances of racism, gender politics, a pandemic, and a melting pot of what we’ve experienced. For me, The Art of Survival encompasses all of this.”
