Chaos Divine is a progressive metal band〔(Encyclopaedia Metallum )〕 from Perth, Western Australia. The band consists of vocalist David Anderton, guitarists Simon Mitchell and Ryan Felton, bassist Michael Kruit and Drummer Ben Mazarol.〔(Chaos Divine Official Website ) Biographical information, Obtained August 2010〕 Chaos Divine's signature is very much what the name suggests - a blaze of thick riffage with a brick wall-sized sound that at times spirals into hypnotic melodies. Drawing influences from the heavy, progressive and melodic elements of bands such as Opeth, Dream Theater and Soilwork, this quintet forges a unique blend of brutal polyrhythmic metal and ambient contemporary rock. == Biography == Since 2005, the band has released an EP, two studio albums and two singles. The 2006 ''Ratio'' EP, which saw the band tour nationally, was publicly voted as the second-best Australian metal release〔(www.thedwarf.com.au )〕 of its year on Triple J’s Full Metal Racket Program. In late 2008, Chaos Divine completed their debut full-length debut album ''Avalon'',〔(The Metal Forge )〕 recorded at Melbourne’s Sing-Sing Studios and released nationally through Firestarter Music. The album went on to win the West Australian Music Industry Awards (WAM) Industry's 2008 Song of the Year Award in the Heavy Rock/Metal category with the track 'Refuse the Sickness'. Chaos Divine was also among the top-five finalists nominated for the Metal/Hardcore award at the National MusicOz awards held in Sydney and broadcast live to a national television audience, in both 2007 and 2008. Avalon was also voted in the top 10 international metal albums of the year by Triple J. In 2009 the band joined the country’s largest national music festival, the Big Day Out,〔(Triple J Unearthed Bio )〕 and went on to tour Europe with an appearance at the Progpower Europe Festival in The Netherlands with a run of further dates through Belgium. Later that year, the band picked up five Australian Heavy Metal Awards (including best band)〔(Association for Australian Heavy Metal )〕 with a live performance at the Forum in Sydney during the awards show. In just over four years, Chaos Divine have played alongside acts such as Slayer (USA), Fear Factory (USA), Devil Driver (USA), Static-X (USA),〔(X-Press Magazine )〕 Obituary (USA), Mastodon (USA), Dark Tranquillity (SWE), Evergrey (SWE), Hacride (FRA) and Trivium (USA), to name only a few. On 25 March 2011, the band released their second full-length album, ''The Human Connection''〔(Metal Storm )〕 through Firestarter Music and Distribution.〔(Firestarter Music )〕 Recorded in Perth, Western Australia, the album was mixed and mastered by producer Jens Bogren〔(Roadrunner Records News )〕〔(Metal Obsession )〕 of Fascination Street Studio, Sweden (Opeth, Symphony X, Katatonia). The Album was also released internationally on iTunes. On 9 September 2012, the band recorded and released a single containing a cover of the Toto (band) smash hit Africa (Toto song).〔(Africa Single on iTunes )〕 The single contained two b-side tracks, an acoustic version of the 2011 track 'Beautiful Abyss' and a remix of the track 'Astral Plane'. Folllowing the late withdrawal of Volbeat at the Perth 2014 Soundwave Festival on 3 March 2014, Chaos Divine was added to the local line-up to perform at the festival.〔Soundwave 2014 Festival〕 The band released the first single from their third studio album entitled 'Soldiers' on 31 October 2014. The single was recorded in Perth at Underground Studios and mixed and mastered by renowned music producer and engineer Forrester Savell.〔(Soldiers Single on iTunes )〕 The band's third studio album is scheduled for release in March 2015 following a successful crowd-funding campaign which saw the band raise $15,000 towards the album's production and release.〔(Chaos Divine Pozible project page )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chaos Divine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
