1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

Endless Chaos was formed in 2011 by me and my brother Alex (ex-drummer) . Our songs are fuelled by the energy we get from our crowd. We focus on keeping our songs fast, technical and catchy.  

2.How would you describe the musical sound that is present on your ep?

 I would describe our sound as modern death and thrash metal.  I take everything I love about thrash, black and death metal and  incorporate those elements into our music. 

3.Can you tell us a little bit more about the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
The lyrical topics of endless chaos focuses on gore, perversion and horror.  

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Endless Chaos'?

The name itself has a couple meanings; First of all it refers to us on stage, we bring a high level of energy live when we play our songs. We love seeing our fans wrecking their necks. It also refers to the world we are living in surrounded by endless chaos; murders, bombings, and other acts of violence that affect peoples lives personally and physically. 

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

We aim for every show to be our best but one show that will always standout for me was when opening for Skeletonwitch in 2013. We played the set as a 3 piece just vocals guitar and drums and the crowd went nuts. To best describe our performance is energetic, loud and in your face. 

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?

We are planning touring in the near future. We have a huge show in April with Kataklysm and Aborted which will be our first time playing live as a 5 piece and in addition to that we will be appearing at some festivals. We hope to play as much as possible into the new year. 

7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
We are currently looking for a label to represent us.  We would love to take the chaos to the masses. 

8.Are the band members involved with any other musical projects?

All of us except myself are in other metal bands from Winnipeg peg. Jordan Dorge our singer also does vocals for black metal band Wilt. Our bassist and drummer Jeff Humarang and James Burton respectively play in metalcore band The Brugada Effect and our guitarist Mike Toews also plays bass in death metal band called Eyam. 

9.When can we expect a full length and what direction will it be in, music wise?

We are writing right now for our full length, we are looking to put about 9 - 10 songs on it. We are really focusing our writing toward riffs that are fun to play but still sound heavy and aggressive helping create our unique brand of blackened thrash and death metal. 


10.What are some bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

I draw influence and inspiration from tons of bands both old and new. I love a lot of the newer metal bands because they are setting the bar for how songs are written and performed. Lately I've been listening to a lot of the newer albums from 2013 like Skeletonwitch, Revocation, Carcass and Exhumed.

11.Do you have any non musical interests?

Outside of music I love riding on dirt trails on my bike and playing video games 

12.Before we wrap up this interview do you have any final words or thoughts?

Endless Chaos plans on going full speed with the release of our EP.  With a refreshed lineup of band members and new material being written for a full length release I can't wait to see how the future of Endless Chaos plays out.

Endless Chaos/Rejected Atrocity/2013 EP Review


  Endless  Chaos  are  a  band  from  Canada  that  plays  a  mixture  of  black,  death  and  thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2013  ep  "Rejected  Atrocity".

  The  ep  starts  off  with  fast  and  heavy  thrash  metal,  guitar,  bass  and  drums  before  adding  in  blackened  metal  vocals  along  with  melody  which  also  leads  to  death  metal  growls  and  after  awhile  old  school  metal  solos  are  added  onto  the  recording  and  they  also  bring  their  old  school  retro  thrash  assault  to  the  other  songs  that  are  present  on  this  recording  as  well  as  bringing  in  brutal  blast  beats  at  times.

  Endless  Chaos  seem  to  know  their  old  school  thrash  metal  very  well  and  they  add  in  death  and  black  metal  influences  to  make  their  music  a  lot  more  heavier  as  well  as  having  a  more  up  to  date  sound.

  Song  lyrics  cover  violent  and  dark  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Endless  Chaos  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  black,  death  and  thrash  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Sacrificial  Ritual".  8/5  out  of  10.
