Berlin-based electronic-rock duo Bullet Height, featuring Sammi Doll of IAMX and Jon Courtney of Pure Reason Revolution, are pleased to reveal a standalone alternative version of their single, "Bastion." The haunting rendition features a milder tempo and melodic piano in place of driving guitars. The track originally debuted with Upset Magazine this past weekend.

The album version of "Bastion" is available as an instant download with digital pre-orders of Bullet Height's explosive debut album, No Atonement, set for release on May 19, 2017 via Superball Music (Century Label Group/Sony). The music video for the original version of "Bastion" can be seen here.

Commenting on the thought process behind the new version, front woman Sammi Doll explained: “The idea to revisit Bastion stemmed from wanting to take a more stripped down approach that would be easy to recreate in a more acoustic environment. What came of it was a slower, more sultry take on the full version that unveiled a different side to Bullet Height. We hope to do more of these reinventions in the future.”

Sammi Doll’s ethereal, melodic vocals are an alluring mix of tones from the LA rock scene - where she cut her teeth - and the underworld of Berlin. Bandmate Jon Courtney brings his experimental production and astute songwriting, expertly weaving echoes of the groundbreaking electronica of Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys into his work. The combination of the two results in an irresistible electronic-rock sound.

No Atonement features 10 tracks that fuse together industrialized electronica, dark avant-garde, heavy guitars, and heartbreakingly sweet melodies. "Bastion", "Hold Together," and "Wild Words" are available as instant downloads when fans pre-order the album. No Atonement is available for digital pre-order here.

About Bullet Height: “I left London, moved to Berlin, rented a dirt cheap room in an old DDR building and started battering out the music that would go on to become Bullet Height,” says Jon Courtney, speaking about the dispersal of his former band Pure Reason Revolution. “I wanted to produce something darker and heavier than I’d ever created.”

“I left Los Angeles and moved to Berlin,” Sammi Doll explains. “It was to join IAMX on tour. But when the singer, Chris Corner, fell ill, it was cancelled. Which was when I met Jon. Without a direction in a new city, recording this album granted me the headspace to channel a lot of personal demons into something simultaneously positive, dark and alluring.”

A recording contract with Superball Music (part of the Sony Music group of labels) followed suit and whilst putting the finishing touches to the album, Bullet Height began gigging to an enthusiastic Berlin underground.

“It's been quite the journey since we've completed the album,” comments Sammi Doll. “Everything from the mixes to forming the live element. It's shaped into something much bigger than we both expected." And Courtney concurs. “Now that we’re playing shows it all feels real. We’re excited at the prospect of expanding out from the Berlin scene and getting out there.”

Like the best of artists, fear is the only thing they fear. Free living and creating on their own terms is the fuel in both their tanks. Together they’ve reached Bullet Height. A product of expatriate London, set in dissident Berlin. Circa 2017.
