BASTARDANE, the band featuring drummer/vocalist Castor Hetfield, has released another new song called "Taciturn & Morose".

The track was produced by GOJIRA frontman Joseph Duplantier and recorded by Dan Joeright at Gatos Trail Recording Studio in Yucca Valley, California.

It was mixed by Jamie Uertz at Duplantier's Silver Cord Studio and mastered by Gavin Lurssen at Lurssen Mastering.

BASTARDANE shared the track on its social media last Thursday, writing: "Another single is out now for your listening pleasure.

'Taciturn & Morose'.

From us to you." Castor Hetfield was interviewed by Savannah Morning News and expressed his thoughts about being compared to METALLICA due to his famous father.

"All of us are our father's sons, mine just happens to be very successful in the industry that we're in," he said.

"It's not bothersome, but it is a little annoying when people try to compare us." The band features Luca Badan on bass and vocals, and Ethan Sirotzki on guitar.

Their discography includes two albums: 'Is This Rage?' (2022) and 'Catatonic Symphony' (2024).

BASTARDANE parted ways with singer Jake Dallas Benn in 2024, after which Badan and Hetfield took over vocal duties.
