KAOS
"The Pits of Existence" (Malevolence
Records; 2010)
Reviewed by Snidermann
Sadly, I don't think KAOS is around anymore. I did a quick Google search and it seems that their Facebook page and their website have been deactivated. The good news is that we've still got their music.
I really dug the band's "Kaos Among Us" and still spin it today. It kicks my metal ass each and every time. However, as much as I liked that album, I got to say I really liked this recording, "The Pit of Existence."
High-quality vocals, great songwriting and thunderous music makes Kaos the best band you may never have heard of and, if I have anything to say about it, you really should. To put it as simply as I can, Kaos kicks fucking metal ass.
"Kaos
Among Us" (Self-produced; 2003)
Reviewed by Snidermann
A few months ago I heard a little from Bay Area rockers Kaos. I really liked what I heard and was eager to hear more. Recently, the band's new CD, "Kaos Among Us," fell into my hands and I was thrilled at the prospect of giving some pixel ink to this awesome band.
"Kaos Among Us" is thunderous, high voltage metal that borders on the frantic and honestly left me breathless. The lyrical content is harsh and yet poetic and effortlessly draws you into the band's darkly rich world.
This five member band belts out tune after mysterious tune with nary a beat between explosive ditties. This extremely talented band and their music pound relentlessly from the opening note and keeps you entranced for over 45 minutes until they finally let go of your throat and out of their musical grasp.
Kaos: Jason Darnell - Vocals; Stacey Murray - Guitar; Joe Loescher - Guitar; Jay Figueroa - Bass; Burton P. Ortega - Drums.
Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
