BRANT

STORY Of BRANT
BRANT is the dynamic, hard-hitting, underground heavy metal creator, whose loyal and longtime legion of fans have appropriately named - The Lungs of Iron. First coming to prominence in 1984 during an era referred to as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, BRANT began honing his craft by mixing listenable melody with skull crushing heaviness. The term power metal was put into circulation by metal journalists describing a music that was somewhere between truly heavy rock and thrash metal.
BRANT fit this genre perfectly and then some. He fine tuned his talents with his own band Enchanter, releasing seven albums, until the time came to move onto bigger and better things. Venturing out into solo territory at the beginning of 1991, BRANT's music progressed into a heavier direction as he began unleashing a series of demos and EPs onto a frothing mass of metal craving maniacs, thus, solidifying his style and reputation, becoming a force to be reckoned within the world of aggressive heavy metal music.
As a recording and performing artist BRANT has proven himself to be a tough act to follow and has been very successful since striking out on his own in 1991 from his former band Enchanter. To date he has recorded and released a total of eleven music albums and three spoken word projects, all of which have received rave reviews from critics and piers alike, not only in North America, but collectively reaching no less than 25 countries worldwide, now including parts of West Africa and Antarctica. Though musically he has progressed into a much heavier direction than in his early years, BRANTs work still maintains that undeniably strong, high energy, driving power that many of us have come to expect from anything that carries his name.
His influence has been felt by a large number of younger bands and his music now collectively spans two generations. If you like your music loud, hard and mean you owe it to yourself to check out some of BRANT's work and see what the rest of the world has been getting a taste of for the past 20 years. His latest and future work shows no apparent departure from a style of viscous, artistic expression that lends itself to the tasteful extreme with a voice of no compromise or mercy.
The Lungs of Iron, BRANT, continued to obliterate metal audiences throughout 2002 performing with GAG and is did so again in 2003 to support not one, but two new releases co-created by Jeff Grady and Kelly Matthews of Step Cousin. The same duo he has written and recorded with on his past several releases. The 2004 release of " The Sands of Mars " is BRANT's latest disc and his 19th! The Sands Of Mars mixes hard driving power metal with subtle hints of Swedish death metal scattered throughout its pummeling soundscape. Metallically diverse .
Videos are in the planning stages to showcase some of BRANT's musical work and will be available for internet download from www.lungsofiron.com . BRANT also works in the world of independent film . More news to come .
