"Oh Lord, this is going to open the record,” recalls Gavin Rossdale about his reaction to the first time he heard the song’s 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, 'F**k it, I'm going to turn that puppy up. This one definitely represents 'The Art Of Survival'."
“Heavy Is The Ocean” follows “More Than Machines” as the latest preview to the UK band’s ninth studio set.
Due October 7, Bush recorded the project earlier this year with producer Erik Ron (Panic! At The Disco, Godsmack) after the pair worked on “Flowers On A Grave” and the title track for the group’s previous album, 2020’s “The Kingdom.”
Bush are currently on the road with Alice In Chains and Breaking Benjamin as a guest of the pair’s North American tour, which will wrap up in Mansfield, MA on October 8.
