The wait is over. Today, Chaos Bleak officially releases their long-awaited new studio album, Assassins Of Silence, via Seventh Hell Recordings — available now on CD, digital download, and all streaming platforms.
Forged in the crucible of post-Thatcherite disillusionment and cosmic fascination, the album is a sonic exorcism. From the pulsating industrial drive of “Locked on Target” to the introspective finale “Saucer of Light,” Assassins of Silence pushes gothic rock into uncharted realms.
With production helmed by Trevor Bamford, Piers on vocals, Nigel on keyboards, and Justin on bass, Chaos Bleak embodies the defiant spirit of a band unbound by nostalgia. Their blend of vintage gothic grit and futuristic sound design redefines the genre for a new generation.
“We’ve always believed the darkness could be beautiful,” says Piers. “This album captures that — it’s our hymn to the lost and the dreamers.”
Following their critically acclaimed Rituals of Live Chaos, this release cements Chaos Bleak as one of the UK’s most vital and progressive voices in underground music. The band continues to evolve, connecting with listeners across continents through shared introspection, rebellion, and revelation.
The world has fallen silent long enough. It’s time to listen.
