Biography

Chaos Unleashed was formed by Marc and Rob just before 2020 with the goal to start a thrash metal band influenced by German bands like Kreator, Destruction and Sodom. Hard and aggressive riffs would alternate between catchy riffs and sometimes a chorus where the audience can sing along. Because of the experience being in former bands like Sad Iron, Jackal, Dominion and Angus it wasn’t hard to make that mix. Chaos Unleashed therefore delivers an aggressive and yet catchy style of thrash metal you don’t hear very often and is therefore quite unique in the current landscape of bands. 

Unfortunately the Covid Pandemic made it hard to find a drummer and to hold auditions. This period fortunately did make it possible to keep writing songs and make demo’s out of them so we could have a flying start when we’ve found our drummer. At the end of the pandemic there where 5 songs completely finished and ready to play.

After a search where drummers would come in but appeared not to be the drummer we where looking for we found Sander Spoor. Sander plays guitar besides drums and therefore understands the riffs and the intention behind the riffs better than any other drummer. Sander has a diverse background in terms of metal styles being in bands like Yaotzin, Fill Bloom and Claustrophobia which makes him a perfect addition to the band.

In November 2022 we played our first gig and had more successful ones in 2023. Every time we played the crowd had a blazing enthusiasm which meant we where doing the right thing!

We choose not to record an EP for our first production, but to go straight to making a full length album and to do that at an esteemed recording studio. January 2024 we entered the Toneshed studio of Erwin Hermsen where he recorded the latest Legion of the Damned en Deadhead albums. 

The album is done and contains 10 ferocious tracks!

You can already listen to us among other things on Spotify and Apple Music.
