1. Hailing from Perth, West… Read Full Bio ↴There are two bands called Chaos Divine:
1. Hailing from Perth, Western Australia.
The resume speaks for itself – two critically acclaimed releases, domestic and international tours and festival appearances, and a bag of music gongs from Triple J, the West Australian Music Industry and the Australian Heavy Music Awards.
In 2011, Perth’s Chaos Divine are without peer in Australian metal. Their intricate and melodic brand is pregnant with a progressive ambition that challenges both fans and band members alike. Now, with a world of possibility before them, Chaos Divine deliver The Human Connection – the band’s most accomplished album to date.
Engineered by Chaos guitarist, Simon Mitchell and mixed and mastered by Swedish metal guru Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Symphony X), The Human Connection is an aggressively adventurous canvas consisting of nine epic tracks that will satiate the most fervent fans of intelligent metal.
Like the band’s Avalon and Ratio releases before it, the new work is a fierce display of musical virtuosity and bludgeoning force. But where its predecessors served to establish the band’s formidable sound, Chaos Divine’s sophomore album is an exercise in evolution.
While the highly successful collaboration with Bogren has endowed the new record with a lustre rarely achieved by Australian metal acts, it’s the material that must be credited with the album’s maturity. Abrasive yet refined, organic yet tempered, The Human Connection is an exploration of the band’s abilities to create music capable of transcending genres and scenes.
While the driven five-piece have constructed the most inimitable musical statement of their career, it’s the live realm in which these new sonic formulas will be proven. Having graced stages with giants such as Slayer, Mastodon and Trivium, Chaos Divine have carved a reputation as one of Australia’s most devastating live acts - a reputation that precedes them at home and abroad.
With their dues paid up and an inferno in their gut, Chaos Divine are poised, ready to realise the next chapter in their ascension through the ranks of international metal.
The Human Connection is due for release in Australia through Firestarter Music & Distribution on March 25 early 2011. In all other regions the album will be available digitally through iTunes International.
2. Chaos Divine was a short lived Colombian power metal band. They released two demos.

Chaos Divine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The lyrics of Chaos Divine's song Africa seem to narrate a journey to Africa with a sense of urgency, as if the singer is running out of time to fulfill something. The opening lines set the mood of the song with the sound of drums echoing in the night, but the singer's companion only hears whispers of some quiet conversation, indicating a disconnect or perhaps a communication barrier. The arrival of the singer's companion is imminent with the line "She's coming in twelve-thirty flight," and her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide him towards salvation, possibly implying that her arrival is an answer to his prayers.
The singer then meets an old man along the way, hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies. The old man seems to understand the urgency of the situation and turns to him as if to say "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you," perhaps indicating that the singer is running out of time to complete what he has come to Africa to do. The wild dogs crying out in the night and growing restless for some solitary company serve as a metaphor for the singer's own restlessness and longing to cure what's deep inside him, fearful of what he has become.
The chorus serves as a mantra for the singer, highlighting his determination to stay true to his goals and not be swayed by anything or anyone. The line "I bless the rains down in Africa/Gonna take some time to do the things we never had" seems to suggest that the singer finds hope and solace in nature and is willing to take the time to do what he has never done before. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, with the added line "Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you," perhaps indicating that the singer's companion is a crucial part of his journey.
Line by Line Meaning
I hear the drums echoing tonight
I perceive the sounds of drums reverberating through the night
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
However, she can only pick up faint murmurs of the tranquil dialogue
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
She is arriving through a plane scheduled to land at 12:30
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
Her illuminated wings reflect the celestial bodies that lead me towards deliverance
I stopped an old man along the way
On my journey, I halted an elderly man
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
Anticipating the discovery of time-worn expressions or archaic tunes
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
He faced me, appearing to convey: "Hurry, young man, it is anticipating your arrival"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
It will require significant effort to separate me from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
One hundred or more men would be incapable of accomplishing this feat
I bless the rains down in Africa
I offer exalted praises to the rainfall in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
It will necessitate time to carry out activities that have previously eluded us
The wild dogs cry out in the night
Feral canines emit distress calls during the nocturnal hours
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
As they become more agitated and yearn for companionship
I know that I must do what's right
I am aware that it is essential to undertake the correct course of action
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
Without a doubt, Kilimanjaro rises similarly to Olympus above the expanse of the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
I endeavor to remedy what lies within, daunted by the state I have attained
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Quickly, young man, she is anticipating your arrival
Gonna bless the rains down in Africa
Intend to exalt the rainfall in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Intend to allocate some time to accomplish new experiences
