Long friendship and the same affection for shredding music is shaping the five member band from Stuttgart. With influence from all sorts of modern metal, the band is about to make its own way through the corpse of the metal scene to achive their own place on the metal sky!
The band started playing in early 2006 as a trio at the just finished practice space at Janicks house in Stuttgart. Chris, Lukas and Janick knew each other for a very long time and the idea of starting a band grew out of their affection for shredding music. Lukas and Chris started playing the guitar at the same time the band was created. Among learning the guitar, both of them were really into song writing and so it didnt last long until the first songs were finished. Sometimes their riffs had been already so complex that they had to improve their skills really hard to follow the songs. Janick had already been playing drums for about 4 years when the band was created.They had a lot of shredding sessions together and Chris and Lukas were proceeding very well with their guitar skills. The Chaos Within was born! After six months the band had already a large list of songs and the trio decided to admit another member. At the beginning of 2007 Chris' brother Marco, who was playing the bass, joined the band.As every other Band, The Chaos Within wanted to record their songs to get more fans, to promote their self and to get as many live shows as possible. Finally in 2007 they got the possibility to record thirteen of their songs all by their selfs. In a period of two weeks a instrumental record, called Malice of Society, was produced. After the record was finished, The Chaos Within started to expand their appaerance by creating profils on PureVolume and MySpace and also by creating an own website, shooting promotion photos and designing band grafics and logos.A metalband is nothing without a screamer! And that is why the band was always looking for the fifth missing member in the band. Finally in december 2007 a solution was found, Christoph joined the band. Christoph was the former singer of the deathmetal band Manus Mortis . He brought his huge experience into the band and now they were ready to shredd on stage.But as all of us know, things chance! In Mai 08, after only a few gigs, Christoph was forced to quit the band because of distance problems. The hole process of completing the band began again. Chris mentioned his wish to try himself on vocals. From there on he was the new screamer. But now there was another problem. By the replacement of Chris, they had to find a second guitar player. After several long discussions the band decided to ask Alex Weiss to play guitar. Alex did several solos on Malice of Society and has always been a good friend to The Chaos Within.So far, stay tuned...
