Reflections Of Resilience is the ferocious and empowering new full-length offering from ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION. The project, devised by songwriter and vocalist Astrum Lux Lucis, explores resilience, self-examination and personal transformation in the new album. Released via AstraLux Records, Reflections Of Resilience is accompanied by focus tracks “Complacency” & “Today Is The Day”.
On “Complacency” Astrum shares, “We can become so consumed by what isn’t happening, what we haven’t accomplished or what we wish were different that we stop participating in the life that’s already here.”
“Today Is The Day” is about action. “I’ve spent enormous amounts of time living inside my own head—analyzing, questioning, second-guessing and wondering whether I should still be doing this at all”, Astrum shares. “You can become so consumed with figuring out why you’re not where you think you should be that you fail to notice something much more frightening:
Your actual life is happening while you’re thinking about it.
Both songs recognize the same danger from slightly different perspectives. ‘Today Is The Day’ focuses on postponement—the endless belief that life will begin at some future moment.
‘Complacency’ looks at what happens when that postponement becomes a lifestyle.”
Musically, ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION fuses alternative metal and modern hard rock with elements of metalcore delivered through heavy, contemporary production. Across Reflections Of Resilience, Astrum’s melodic vocals meet moments of visceral aggression as ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION present a truly honest and vulnerable sonic offering.
Reflections Of Resilience was created through a collaboration between Astrum Lux Lucis and producer/songwriter Dusten “Dusty” Boles. Reflections Of Resilience was mixed by Dusten Boles and Frank Smith, with mastering also by Dusten Boles. Additionally, Dusten Boles provides guitars, bass, drums-programming, sound design to Reflections Of Resilience. The cover album artwork is created by Angelo Sanfilippo.
About ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION:
ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION is the creative vehicle of founder and vocalist Astrum Lux Lucis, with professional musicians and collaborators brought together to realize the vision both in the studio and onstage. The project began in Austin, TX, and is now based between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Astrum began pursuing music long before ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION existed, first playing drums in a teenage band called PRIVATE OUTRAGE before ultimately moving to the front of the stage as a vocalist and solo artist under her birth name, Cheryl Hill.
Her professional development also included formal education in both the creative and business sides of entertainment. She attended Full Sail in the 1980s studying video and music production and later earned a BBA in Management and Entrepreneurship from the University of Miami, where she also studied music and music business and was a vocal principal.
Following years of performing and recording as Cheryl Hill, a major personal transformation eventually led to the adoption of the artist name Astrum Lux Lucis and the creation of ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION. The project’s identity grew from a desire to create music with a larger purpose: music capable of inspiring, uplifting and empowering people while remaining emotionally honest, heavy and uncompromising.
The philosophy behind the name is reflected in one of the project’s central ideas:
“Revolution requires evolution.”
ONE WORLD (R)EVOLUTION isn’t built around rebellion simply for the sake of rebellion. Its larger philosophy is that meaningful change in the world begins with transformation within the individual.
