(HOL) - DEATH / THRASH A delightful mixture of melodic thrash and death metal” is what Dutch STATE:CHAOS have been producing since their early 2006. Originally beginnings included the members of Callenish Circle and Desensitised. By the end of the year, the band recorded a four track promo entitled “Ashes Of Misery” together with Mangled producer Erwin Hermsen and so numerous enthusiastic reactions and promising reviews gave the band a large list of shows, including large outdoor festivals like Elsrock and Urpop, as well as support slots with the likes of Impious and The Haunted. And so in early 2009 STATE:CHAOS recorded their first full length album “Chaos || Pain || Despair” at the PITstudios. Mixed and mastered by Textures mastermind Jochem Jacobs, the album shows a mature band delivering the new wave of Dutch thrash metal. For fans of Hatesphere, Slayer, In Flames and Testament
