Bastardane

About

Bastardane is a force of raw energy and unapologetic creativity, blending the ferocity of heavy metal with the melodic sensibilities of alternative rock. Hailing from Savannah, Georgia, the trio—composed of Jake Dallas, Ethan Sirotzki, and Castor Hetfield—has carved a niche for themselves with their thunderous riffs, introspective lyrics, and a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Drawing inspiration from legends like Metallica and Tool, Bastardane infuses their music with a progressive edge, creating a sonic landscape that is as cerebral as it is visceral. Since their formation in 2018, Bastardane has steadily built a reputation for their electrifying live performances and genre-defying sound. Their debut EP, *Is This Rage?*, showcased their ability to balance aggression with emotional depth, earning them a dedicated following. The band’s cultural impact lies in their refusal to conform to genre boundaries, appealing to metal purists and alt-rock enthusiasts alike. Notably, Castor Hetfield, son of Metallica’s James Hetfield, brings a unique lineage to the group, though Bastardane’s artistry stands firmly on its own merit. Recent years have seen Bastardane expand their reach, collaborating with producers and artists who share their vision of pushing musical boundaries. Their latest single, *Tornado*, is a testament to their evolution, blending intricate instrumentation with haunting vocals. Currently, the band is working on their debut full-length album, promising a deeper exploration of their signature sound. With their relentless drive and innovative approach, Bastardane is poised to leave an indelible mark on the rock and metal landscape.
