Posted on by

According to blabbermouth.net, BUSH has released “Heavy Is The Ocean” the second single off their long-awaited ninth full album, “The Art Of Survival,” that is scheduled to release on October 7th, 2022 via BMG. The album is a rock revelation that encourages love and recognized bravery and expressing your feelings. According to Gavin Rossdale, as soon as he heard the riff he stated, “Oh Lord, this is going to open the record. 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, ‘F-ck it, I’m going to turn that puppy up. This one definitely represents ‘The Art Of Survival’.”

The single sets the tone for the rest of their upcoming album, that has themes of both human spirit’s resiliency as well as the band’s own place as rock outliers. Rossdale also added that, “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 in 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.” BUSH’s summer tour along with BREAKING BENJAMIN and ALICE IN CHAINS is still the rock tour of the summer, accumulating over 300,000 tickets and counting. The tour originally kicked of on August 10th and is set to wrap up on October 8th in Mansfield, Massachusetts at Xfinity Center.
