Ministry/Revolting Cocks Members Reunite as Bells into Machines

Industrial vets Chris Connelly and Paul Barker have both played in bands like Ministry and Revolting Cocks, and now they've reunited to form a new project of their own. The pair's band is called Bells into Machines, and they've already shared some new material.

The band's Facebook page describes the project as "an industrial/electronic/rock alliance," and it lists other members including Lee Popa (Killing Joke, Pigface), Toby Wright and Brian Diemar. The group also features Janne Jarvis and Chris Rose, plus "some other very special guests."

The band had been working on an EP, but this has now blossomed into an album, which includes remixes. They announced earlier this month that nine songs had been completed following Connelly's vocal sessions. When answering fan questions, they added that the album will be available on limited vinyl plus CD and/or digital download.

Live shows are in the works. Bells into Machines shared a self-remix of a bluesy, beat-driven number called "Your Crime Scene My Career/Blood on the Bayou." Hear that below, and stay tuned for further updates regarding the LP.
