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.
Avalon
Chaos Divine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We came undone
And lost a place so close to heaven
Pure tranquillity
Like falling leaves
It's certain to become a memory
In the eyes of eve
For soon she'll be discarded
[chorus]Scream into the wind
The earth below me is breaking
Could it be a sin?
I'm torn away from
my Avalon
The lyrics to Chaos Divine's song "Avalon" are an ode to losing a paradise and watching it crumble before your eyes. The first verse describes the initial loss of this world, which was once close to heaven but has now become a distant memory. The second verse goes into more detail, describing the loss of beauty and the eventual discarding of Eve, symbolizing the ultimate downfall of this paradise.
The chorus serves as a plea for help or understanding, with the singer screaming into the wind as the earth crumbles around them. The line "could it be a sin?" implies that the destruction of this paradise may have been caused by some sort of wrongdoing or mistake. The final line, "I'm torn away from my Avalon," shows the emotional impact of losing this world and being forcefully removed from something so precious.
Line by Line Meaning
When the world was young
In the early days of creation
We came undone
Humanity was flawed
And lost a place so close to heaven
We were banished from the perfect paradise
Pure tranquillity
Complete serenity
Like falling leaves
A fleeting sense of peace
It's certain to become a memory
This perfect moment will not last
Gone was the beauty
The beauty was lost
In the eyes of eve
In the perception of humanity
For soon she'll be discarded
Humanity will move on from what was once beautiful
Scream into the wind
Expressing anguish with abandon
The earth below me is breaking
The world is falling apart
Could it be a sin?
Is it wrong for me to feel this way?
I'm torn away from Avalon
I am separated from a perfect, unspoiled paradise.
