ABOUT THE ALBUM:
Written and produced by Bradley Bills, with an added assault of mixing by the creator of the Ultra Heavy Beat: Sascha Konietzko (KMFDM) – Brave New Apocalypse showcases CHANT’s signature tribal driven sound and slams with heavy melodic lines and classic industrial inspiration.

With guest performances from Jules Hodgson (KMFDM/Pig), Patrick McManis (Evil Mothers), Adam Donovan (Seek Irony), Kristopher Robin (Guild) & Alvin Melivin (Melivin; Inc.) – Brave New Apocalypse is CHANT’s most driving, hard hitting, dynamic record to date.

CHANT Music Video: NEED banned from YouTube

I received email notification last week that my collaboration with VJ Greekfire for the NEED music video had been “flagged as inappropriate” and a ‘strike’ issued against my account. Subsequently, I then received notice that “the video content was in violation of their Community Guidelines” and was permanently removed. I knew we pushed limits, but there’s no mistaking that the ‘Need’ video is an Art film and Art by nature needs no censorship. The video was set to the proper YouTube guidelines, viewable by mature audiences only, and if I were an established artist making coveted ad revenue for YouTube – this would not have been an issue.

Expect a full press release tomorrow, but for now: To quote Bill Hicks: ‘I almost forgot this was the USA… the United States of Advertising!’

UPDATE: APRIL 17, 2013: Press Release sent to the wires this Morning: READ THE PRESS RELEASE HERE. CHANT’s NEW VIMEO channel featuring the NEED video, uncensored, launches Friday, April 19th, 2013.

Bradley performing Drum/Metal Percussion for Evil Mothers

Texas Industrial legends, Evil Mothers, has regrouped for 3 exclusive reunion shows in their home state of Texas and has asked Bradley to perform Drums and Metal Percussion for their live shows. Featuring lead singer Curse Mackey, who later when on to work with Thrill Kill Kult, form Grim Faeries, and become the lead singer of Industrial Supergroup: Pigface , Evil Mothers spent the early to mid 90’s terrorizing Texas, the US, and then the world, with its twisted, dark extremes, fusing tribal drumming and incendiary guitar noise with a lyrical exploration of the seedier side of human existence.

“I’m thrilled to be a part of the Evil Mothers experience. After 13 years of rehab since their self-destructive finale – they are back with a vengeance and I have to say, as I’ve rehearsed with them between CHANT tour dates… I just can’t believe this sound… You simply cannot replicate or experience this with today’s bands – you have got to go to one of these shows – don’t miss this opportunity!” – Bradley / CHANT

Dates on the upcoming tour include:
