CHAOSWAVE
was born in the summer 2003, thanks to the initiative of
Danish guitar player Henrik 'Guf' Rangstrup (also guitarist
of Sinphonia), who a year before had moved to Italy for
personal reasons. His aim was to combine aggressive and
powerful riffing with a more melodic structure, in the vein
of bands such as Nevermore and Control Denied.
The
musicians gathered in CHAOSWAVE all come from different
musical backgrounds. As said, Guf is also the guitarist
of the Danish band Sinphonia, with whom he has already issued
two records worldwide (Lucretia Records Intl.). Bass player
Marco Angioni is also a skilled guitarist and producer besides
being the main man behind the progressive-rock act KTL.
Drummer Raphael Saini has amongst other been playing death
metal in several bands for many years. The two singers Fabio
Carta and Giorgia Fadda have cultivated their talent in
the shadows before joining CHAOSWAVE.
Lyrically,
the band is amongst other inspired by the psychology vs.
the reality of the human being. Often the lyrics explore
the interaction between the subconscious and the perceived
world.
Musically,
the band is a balance between aggressive guitars, bass,
drums and atmospheric vocal lines. While the music is repeatedly
made aggressive with the help of the guitars 7th string,
the atmosphere is achieved through the shared vocal lines
of Fabio and Giorgia. All along the bass and drums are working
together to keep the music "in-your-face".
Powermetal.de (Germany): "Around thirteen months ago,
the Sardinian band prove with their EP to have a very different
and original approach, and many of us, me included, have
been looking forward to this, their first full length album.
If the first steps of the band were exceptionally amplified
by good press, "The White Noise WIthin" confirms
that all the ado was indeed about something."
Aardshok
Magazine (Holland): "The base of most tracks is formed
by a wall of tight guitars and pulsating drums. The adventurous
singing and subtle keyboards are wreathed between them in
an artistic way, upon which the music through melodious
choruses and nice instrumental guitar pieces over and over
again reaches a beautiful climax."
Metal.de
(Germany): "Riffs that follow the path of Nevermore,
Fear Factory and Meshuggah. A male singer leaning on the
already known, progressive Nevemore/Communic, mixed with
the melodic security of Björn Strid of Soilwork. A female
singer with a distinct voice that can be sorted in between
Gathering and Lacuna Coil. Around a year ago I was right:
This band is a candidate for the newcomer of the year 2006."
