Axiom Chaos

Axiom Chaos to debut with 'Primacy Arrival' album in May

By the invisible sea of secrets that laps silently about the foothills of Mons Ardeshir, they have heard. Far beyond the mountains of Mithrim, where the chroniclers of eternity write the many histories of Vulpecula in the blood of their broken fingers, they have heard. Doors have been opened and rifts have been traversed. The conjurers of chaos are blowing upon the horns of Ib and the malformed beasts of malfeasance who have slumbered in dreams aeons long are stirring. The stairways to the new world are open and the drums of destruction are calling; the fires of war are alight!

A new entity has crawled from the boiling swamps that lie in the deepest recesses of the death metal underworld. A force of terrifying alien power and chilling otherness that is about to bleed insidiously into our reality. Axiom Chaos have fused the devastating impact of death metal with the untameable capricious might of pandemonium and invoked the strange, compelling visions of 'Primacy Arrival'.

Track listing:
1. The King, I Am (04:24)
2. Primacy Arrival (04:30)
3. The Gift of Recognition (04:53)
4. Extraterrestrial Necrotic Urge (03:53)
5. Antediluvian Origin Unknown (04:25)
6. Wormhole Pathways of Conquest (04:22)
7. Exodus into Oblivion (05:24)

Beginning with the lurching monstrosity of 'The King I Am' that erupts into fetid, pustulent life, guitars howling over the deranged whispering of deformed divinities, 'Primacy Arrival' proceeds to tear your reality to tattered shreds. Invoking fantastic atmospheres and radiating intimidating terror, this album transforms death metal into something unknowable and unnameable. In 'The Gift of Recognition' the guitar leads seem to speak, uttering words from forbidden dimensions that make the skin crawl in fearful revulsion, while 'Wormhold Pathways of Conquest' is simply inexorable. 'Primacy Arrival's crowning glory however comes with its titanic conclusion – 'Exodus into Oblivion'. Shattering velocities entwine with spiraling guitar patterns and something majestic, almost beautiful emerges from the shadows as melodies unwind behind the monolithic sounds. Strange magic breaks through the song structure, an infiltration of madness to accompany this triumphal procession for a king from beyond, as our reality is consumed.

While the name of Axiom Chaos is a new one, those who march behind its banner are better known - Ben Vanweelden (Venomous Echoes, Ceremonic Buryment etc.) and Justin Vølus (Vølus, Fall Of Gnosis, Maggot Crown etc.) – and they are now united with the might of Comatose Music for the May 9th release of 'Primacy Arrival'. Bedecked in the visionary artwork of Morket Art (Engulfed, Inverted Ascension etc) Primacy Arrival will challenge, disturb and dominate, opening new pathways for death metal as the story of Axiom Chaos begins.
