The song explores the inevitable fading of all things—a theme that sits at the very heart of the Bastion Rose identity. “I have always been fascinated and disturbed by the inevitable fading of everything,” says frontman Austin Frink. “Our lives are temporary. Everyone you love, everything you are... it will eventually return to dust. But there is a power in that realization. You can use the transience of all things to know that in times of struggle, you can eventually rise above whatever hole you have fallen into.” Musically, "Dust" leans into 90’s alternative metal influences as well as the classic aggressive hard rock that landed the band acclaim in Metal Hammer, SPIN, and Classic Rock Magazine. |
