History

Kaothic was founded in Madrid, in the beginning of 2001, by Alberto Marín, Avulsed's guitar player in their American tours in 2000 and 2001. The band started as a death metal formation, with brutal death vocalist David Cuñado, Marcos de la Calle on drums and Gustavo Romero on bass.

With this line-up the band did some gigs; probably the most important of them was being one of the guest bands in the 10th anniversary of Avulsed which took place in Ritmo y Compás, December 2001 in Madrid.

In April 2002 the band entered the studio to record their first self-produced CD. The album was engineered and produced by BigSimon (Saratoga, Terroristars, Ebony Ark, Coilbox, Dreamaker), probably one of the most outstanding producers in Spain today. The recordings took place in Sintonía 1 studios in Madrid. Those sessions lasted longer than what was expected. The band evolved a lot during that time, and their musical direction changed. This change led to the replacement of their brutal death vocalist David Cuñado with the current vocalist David Curtonates. The incredible range of vocal styles and expertise of David Curtonates brought the band the possibility to rearrange the vocal lines of the album to take the songs to a new level. Songs that seemed extremely brutal with the former vocalist now turned to a mixture of beauty and brutality, and other softer songs turned aggressive and emotional. During the period of finding a new vocalist and rearranging the vocals lines, the recording sessions were stopped.

The band presented their new line-up live with David Curtonates the 20th of July in Madrid, receiving very good comments from fans and local media. After that, David got involved in a summer tour with his parallel band Terroristars, and after the tour, they recorded their first album. Alberto seized the opportunity to cooperate with other bands, and, since autumn 2003, he is an official member of Skunk D.F., who are now about to release their latest album. So for about six months, the final recordings and mixing were delayed again, but the rest of the band didn't stand still and kept composing new songs.

Finally, after David's album with Terroristars was released in February 2004, Kaothic got in the studio again with BigSimon and finished the album, 'Order to Chaos', at M20 Studios in Madrid. 'Order to Chaos' was finally released in Spain, January the 10th, 2005, by the spanish label Avispa and will soon be available in many other countries.
