Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, 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 on influences from a vast array of metal bands such as Opeth, Arch Enemy, Dream Theater, Meshuggah ,Tool, Katatonia, Scar Symmetry and Soilwork, this quintet forges brutal polyrhythmic metal and ambient contemporary rock music into a uniquely turbulent sonic alloy.
In mid-2006, the band completed six months worth of work on a debut five-track EP entitled Ratio. The EP was voted the second best Australian metal release of 2006 by the listeners of Triple J's Full Metal Racket program, and the show's presenter, Andrew Haug, voted Ratio his number one Australian metal release.
In November 2007, Chaos Divine was among five finalists nominated for the Metal/Hardcore award at the National Music Oz awards on Channel V with the song 'Obsidian Eyes'. The band also completed its first Australian tour in 2007, performing 11 shows across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Central Victoria, Sydney and the NSW Central Coast.
In just over two years, Chaos Divine has supported or played alongside international acts Slayer (USA), Fear Factory (USA), Devil Driver (USA), Mastodon (USA), Dark Tranquillity (Sweden), and Trivium (USA), leading Australian bands Daysend (NSW), Dreadnaught (VIC), Contrive (VIC), Five Star Prison Cell (VIC), Picture The End (VIC), Black Asylum (NSW), Double Dragon (SA) and top Perth acts such as Dyscord, The Furor, Voyager, Heavy Weight Champ and Pathogen.
In late 2008, Chaos Divine is set to release its long-awaited full-length debut album entitled Avalon, recorded at Melbourne's Sing Sing Studios. Produced by Melbourne recording and mix engineer Jarrad Hearman, Avalon marks a new era for Chaos Divine, pushing the band's unique brand of technical, progressive and melodic metal to a new level of refinement.
Released through Firestarter Music and Distribution, Avalon is now available from all good record stores around Australia.

"Although Allegiance flew the metal flag for a long while in the west, bands such as Vespers Descent, Pathogen, The Furor and The Burning are rallying for the cause and at the same time, are raising the flag higher than ever before.
Add to that list Chaos Divine." - TheMetalForge.com
"The band's debut EP Ratio is at the top of the national metal pile...an exercise in excellence... Part death, part power, part thrash, this record is on many levels, simply unstoppable." - Zebra Magazine
