Vocalist Ben Mason comments: ““Chasm” is a huge leap forward for us, blending new elements with our core sound. It’s a natural progression, pushing boundaries while staying true to who we are. Lyrically, it’s a reflection of my journey from the struggles we’ve faced to learning how to live with them. It’s about the unpredictability of life and accepting that sometimes you need to face your demons to truly understand yourself.”
Since emerging in 2016, Bound In Fear has carved out a reputation as one of the most punishing forces in modern extreme music. Their early work, including the underground-lauded Regicide EP and the breakthrough full-length The Hand of Violence (2019), established the band’s trademark blend of crushing downtempo brutality, bleak atmospherics, and intensely personal lyricism. Numerous tours across the UK and Europe only solidified their status as a staple within the heavy community.
Building on the thematic darkness and sonic depth of 2021’s Eternal EP, the band released their sophomore album Penance the same year, revealing the personal upbringing of front-man Ben Mason, and thus concluding the conceptual theme of depression, abuse and anger. After the success of Eternal and Penance, the band spent three years forging their new era in the shadows, returning with the acclaimed single “Sentenced” in 2024. Now, as 2025 comes to a close, Bound In Fear is once again giving fans a small taste of what’s to come with new single “Chasm.”
