Bastian is a forceful quintet hailing from Vancouver BC, born from the embers of various seasoned acts within the metal scene. With a collective passion for crafting intense music and a shared history of touring, the members of Bastian converge to a push the boundaries of their genre.
Despite facing adversity that forced a two-year hiatus (chief among them, a life threatening motorcycle wreck) the band persevered, fueled by a shared commitment to their art. Bastian’s resilience is reflected in their upcoming EP, “Impressions”, a testament to their journey through trials and triumphs, led by their powerful new single “Currents”.
Drawing influences from diverse sources ranging from Architects and Norma Jean to Explosions in the Sky and Hanz Zimmer, Bastian crafts a sound that balances blistering aggression with intricate melodies and poignant lyrical themes.
Their music resonates with fans who seek both sonic intensity and emotional depth, offering a cathartic experience that transcends the typical metalcore conventions.
