BRANT's long awaited CD - The Sands Of Mars is now available in the US !

Its been a while since we have updated The Lungs Of Iron site, but alas, here it is!

BRANT has been busy this past year working not only on getting The Sands Of Mars CD out to the masses but also on a few side projects.

BRANT has been laying down vocal tracks on a compilation of some of his past material entitled Lungs Of Iron Vol.1

The CD was a brainstorm of Jeff G rady and Kelly Matthews (both of Lordchain, Step Cousin) who write and perform with BRANT on his highly respected music Cds.

The two painstakingly reworked and re-recorded some of BRANT's most popular songs, going all the way back to his speed metal Enchanter days of the 80's for some of the included tracks.

This release will hopefully see the light of day by spring of 2006.

A bone crushing hand shake and spine snapping hug go to both of these great friends for everything they have done.

BRANT, joining forces once again with the viscous Mike Cokenour (Nefarious, CIA), has formed a blackish/deathish metal beast entitled Cycle Of Ruin .

Material for the project is still in the stages of creation but tracks will be available for download by the end of the year for all to checkout.

BRANT's live guitarist, Cory Jackson (Anxiety, Gag) has been brought in to help create the intense, blast beat drumming and for additional songwriting.

BRANT is also on myspace.com www.myspace.com/brantband

You can go there to here song samples and to checkout some current blogs, fotos, etc.

Special thanks goes to Kirby Ray of Emaciation and to Timexx of Drivin Rain for their help in making that happen!

These fellows and their prospective bands are helping to keep the Semo music scene going and both have been making a notable impact worldwide with their music for quite sometime.

To check out their sites go to BRANT's links page.

BRANT wants to personally thank the beautiful and talented Paula Johnson and her above and beyond significant other, Jimmy Johnson for helping to get The Lungs Of Iron site up and going.

BRANT's good friend, Wendy Holladay has formed a SMN ( Studio Musician's Network)

BRANT's film work last year, sadly came to a screeching halt due to problems beyond anyone's control and all interest in BRANT wanting to do anything involving film was thrown to the wayside.

Recently however, things have picked up again and BRANT has been negotiating with some prominent independent film makers about appearing in some of their work as well as having some of his scripts brought to life. More on these as things become reality and the legal aspects get sorted out.

Best of wishes to everyone at Innsmouth Films on all future endeavors.

To those who may not know, BRANT has been building an impressive portfolio over the years showcasing his graphic design and photography skills.

Starting out actually just for his own projects, his work gained a lot of attention and he began helping out others as well.

BRANT designs all of his own CD covers and takes all of his own photos.

If you need help in any of these areas, checkout his work and see if his style suits your needs.

Until next time…
