Bask

Bask is a heavy-hitting Asheville, North Carolina quartet blending Southern rock’s soulful swagger, stoner metal’s fuzz-drenched riffs, and post-rock’s expansive atmospheres. Formed in 2013, the band carves out cinematic soundscapes that swing between crushing heaviness and meditative beauty, often anchored by bluesy grooves and Appalachian-inspired storytelling. Their discography, including albums like *American Hollow* (2014), *Ramble Beyond* (2017), and *III* (2019), showcases their knack for dynamic shifts, from headbang-worthy hooks to sprawling, moody passages that feel like odes to misty mountain ranges.

Known for their DIY ethos and relentless touring, Bask has shared stages with acts like Pallbearer and Baroness, earning a rep as a must-see live act. Their lyrics often echo themes of nature, resilience, and introspection, mirroring the raw yet melodic textures of their music. Whether covering tracks like “Anemone” (originally by Slowdive) or crafting originals like “The Traveler,” they maintain a gritty, heart-on-sleeve authenticity that’s cemented their place in the modern heavy music underground.
