Majestic Desolation - Red In Clear Vinyl

BASTIONS Majestic Desolation (2022 UK/EU limited edition 8-track LP pressed on Red in Clear Vinyl - Released 11 years after their debut, the Welsh hardcore act's second studio album is less a comeback record as much as it is a continuation of all that made Bastions a highly influential UK act in the first place, taking personal hells and finding the universality within them against the backdrop of a sonically ceaseless push and pull. The picture sleeve comes with the illustrated lyric insert and the vinyl looks barely played)

Tracklisting & More Information

Seven years on from playing their final note onstage and unexpectedly ceasing all activity, seminal UK alternative hardcore band Bastions have announced their return. Eleven years on from the North Wales bands revered debut album, Hospital Corners, Bastions will be releasing their second proper full-length , Majestic Desolation, via Church Road Records.

Privately reuniting in 2020, the quartet - composed of Jamie Burne (vocals), Jamie McDonald (guitar), Gareth Davies (bass) and Kieran Brindley (drums) - began reconnecting and re-envisioning what a future could look like with Bastions in it, a future that held respect for their past efforts without bending to misguided nostalgia or revised history. Discontent with simply resting on their discography's laurels, Majestic Desolations eight tracks are the result of a dark rekindling. Returning to The Ranch Studios in Southampton, UK to record with long-time collaborator and old friend Lewis Johns in July 2021, Majestic Desolation is proof that time dulls nothing.

As visceral as they ever were, Bastions trademark darkened hardcore and unnerving melodicism still convulses and writhes with an air of disquietude. Lamentations of lost time, profound emptiness and grief permeate throughout the entirety of Majestic Desolations 25 minutes. No more earnestly is this showcased than the one-two punch of Slithering into Coalfields - with Burnes howls of All this loss, all these years on the latter. Majestic Desolation is less a comeback record as much as it is a continuation of all that made Bastions a highly influential UK act in the first place, taking personal hells and finding the universality within them against the backdrop of a sonically ceaseless push and pull.

Bastions in 2022 remain as perceptive towards all that leaves us desolate and hurting, with Majestic Desolation knowing when to swing and when to swim in the malaise of it all. Seven years on from that final strangled note at iconic London venue The Black Heart, Bastions are back and that sinking feeling of desolation is here to stay.
