UNITED IN DARKNESS: A BIOGRAPHY OF CHAOS
Only a handful of bands have the courage to drill as deep in megalomania and plain lunacy as Chaosweaver did on its colossal debut Puppetmaster of Pandemonium. The band's dark, grandiose and distinctively unique sound has been described as an unusual blend of gloomy metal, cinematic landscapes and the dramatics of classical music.
It took five months of mind-bogglingly hard work to forge the piece of dark art together in renowned Studio Perkele (Deathchain, Ajattara, Discard). The final result ended up sounding like a mob of lunatics had kidnapped a symphonic orchestra and squeezed the most disturbed and harsh notes out from it. Even the band members themselves were surprised by the outcome.
"After working on this for so long, the feeling is unreal", sighs the exhausted but happy drummer-producer Jack Tyger after the toil. "We managed to achieve such a hypnotic creation that one cannot but wonder. Albums as immense and freakish but mysteriously catchy as this don't come along every day. And that's a promise."
The seven-head assembly, which was formed in 2004, draws its influences from old horror movies, historic-mythical literature and illustrious composers such as Jean Sibelius, Carl Orff and Richard Wagner. After two internationally praised demos, the band signed to a fresh Finnish label Shadow World Records.
Puppetmaster of Pandemonium's lyrical themes stretch from World War II bombers of Flaming Rain to the ancient Chaos Gods of White Noise, from vampyric agony of Locked in a Coffin to old Finnish mythology and folklore of Son of the Moon. The musical side widens the concept even further beyond the boundaries of normality. Chaosweaver yanks the strings of pandemonium to the direction it wants, as the ominous name of the album shamelessly declares.
To enrich the already affluent soundscape, the album features an interesting list of high-profile guests: Profane Omen's and Enemy of the Sun's multitalented singer Jules Näveri, ex-Deathchain growler Rotten, Swallow the Sun's keyboard wizard Aleksi Munter and Moonsorrow's singer-bassist Ville Sorvali.
Prepare yourself for the most seductive nightmare of your life.
"According to the pre listening of the album, this might well be - do I dare say out loud at this stage - the album of the year."
Mikko Luntiala, Miasma Magazine
"Great production, masses of variation, sick samples, twisted vocals."
Dave Pybus, Cradle of Filth
"A diverse album, that is hard to label into any categories - which is of course great!"
Tomi Joutsen, Amorphis
"An album that spans genres, taking the best elements of each and twisting them into a mysterious form unique to Chaosweaver. Clever, exciting songwriting; a colossal production; all executed to perfection!"
John Norby, Zero Tolerance
