"KAOTEON (Kaotik Eon) has no political nor religious goals but musical, social, philosophical and chaotic views. I believe that metal music is about self awareness, wisdom and knowledge. It is supposed to open our minds not close it." - Anthony Kaoteon

Some Reviews on "PROVENANCE OF HATRED" (Debut Demo 2004), READ BIOGRAPHY BELOW:
What is presented on this 3 track demo is nothing short of astounding, all things considered. Recorded in a single live take, these guys never falter. The drumming is blasting and furious, the riffs aggressive and melodic, and the singing raw and powerful and none of it is even slightly pretentious.
[Northern Shadows]
The main theme is of black metal essence, and has some quality shrieking and snare battering going on, and is rammed full of beautifully melodic, harmonious chords, reminding me in parts of Gorgoroth, early Immortal and Setherial, and with a fantastic vocal delivery when high and in life threatening depth, Kaoteon get the construction and patterns of this song absolutely right ......
Fantastic track. "Wrenched" ... has a razor sharp, brain disintegrating delivery, maybe with an even older school influence than the other tracks.I absolutely beg any fans of black metal, or black/death cross-breeds to check Kaoteon out. From Lebanon or not, struggling with the restrictive nature of their country's laws or not, this band are fantastic.
[Raw Nerve Promotions]
General impression is very positive, nothing to complain about actually (!?). The energy they deliver is obvious and is well focused so you must notice it.
[Tartarean Desire]
...their debut demo, titled "provenance of hatred", traditional black metal, which make no place for any sort of useless "innovation". Thus, Metal of the purest genre is offered and quite fast one.
On the whole, it's full of variety, relatively good produced and the musicianship gives no place for criticism....
[myrrthronth.de]
The songs all have a "frosty" cold sound to them, and they take their riffs and stick to them. A lot of bands seem to instead hop around from theme to theme with a lot
of crap that doesn't belong there. Not so here. KAOTEON says, "Fuck the technical stuff," and instead plays something with some balls behind it.........Loads of potential though and definitely a whole hell of a lot more worthy than a hundred or so other bands out there.

BIOGRAPHY
KAOTEON (Kaotik Eon) began in 1998/9 as a one man band by Anthony Kaoteon (Kaos).
About mid 2000, Walid (Wolflust) was summoned to do the vocals and different members were tried out afterwards but never lasted due to the lack of local talent or dedication.
KAOTEON started effective work in 2003 after losing hope in finding adequate members for the job so they dropped older composed material, and worked on the debut demo "Provenance of Hatred" which was recorded on january 2004 in a single take at a home made studio with sessionist drummer Riad doing just a couple of practices prior to the recording as he lived in france back then and on february 2004 the demo was released by several Labels/Distros all over the world which makes it the first demo to be released on international labels from this part of the world. Provenance of Hatred was a success and it found a lot of support in the underground scene.
The band worked with many drummers in 2005 some of which are Romain (ex- imperial sodomy, ex- Belef, Agressor (fra)) for 3 months but the guy left all his bands seeking different plans and Mikael (Kronos) which was a great fit, alas, he started a new job and things didn't work out at last...
Anyways, the band distributed a Promo CD-R in 2006 for their new fast and ripping single "Love Died (In Your Cunt)" which got a great feedback as well from old and new fans...
Nowadays, KAOTEON is working with a new drummer Ziad (Blaster) and has several songs composed of which 8 or nine titles will be compiled into a full length later this year.
