In February 2019, CHAOSEUM joined SOUFLY in the USA for a tour of seven concerts on the east coast. Afterwards, back in Switzerland, the singer left the band which then asked CK Smile to join them. The song “First Step To Hell” was subsequently rerecorded.
A limited-edition Live album was recorded at the band’s second concert with CK as a frontman. It was released under the name “Live In Hell – Les Docks Lausanne 2019”.
In September of 2019, the band joined TARJA (Ex-NIGHTWISH) for a tour in Russia. It had a considerable success with Russian metal fans.
Representing the Xvive brand, CHAOSEUM went to Los Angeles in order to perform at the Namm - the largest music trade show. There, the band also took the opportunity to play at the legendary Whisky a Go Go.
A few weeks later, the foursome released a first single “Into My Split” from their next album.
The album named “Second Life” was released on September 25th, 2020. It is recorded at both the Chaos Studio and the Conatus Studio. Gwen Kerjan from the Slab Sound Studio is in charge of the mix, and as always, Gustavo Sazestakes care of the artwork.
Unreal
Chaoseum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My memory doesn′t remember me
I feel it in my heart, this kind of little thing
Who makes me think that wasn't me
Prey for me! (why)
Preacher! (why)
Prey for me! (why)
Sinner! (why)
Spit on me! (why)
My world is unreal, that′s all i can feel
I can't always fake everything is fine
My world is unreal, that's all i can feel
You expected a lot from me, but it wasn′t really me
I read my scars, i remember my fate
How i built my first step to hate
I don′t blame god for breaking my faith
Only the people who did it for me
Prey for me! (why)
Preacher! (why)
Prey for me! (why)
Spit on me! (why)
Sinner! (why)
Spit on me! (why)
My world is unreal, that's all i can feel
I can′t always fake everything is fine
My world is unreal, that's all i can feel
You expected a lot from me, but it wasn′t really me
Chaos, growing in my head
Chaos, growing in my head
Chaos, growing in my head
Chaos, growing in my head
Chaos, growing in my head
Chaos, growing in my head
Chaos, growing in my head
(This world is real)

My world is unreal, that's all i can feel
My world is unreal, that′s all i can feel
I can't always fake everything is fine
My world is unreal, that's all i can feel
You expected a lot from me, but it wasn′t really me
My world is unreal, that′s all i can feel
I can't always fake everything is fine
My world is unreal, that′s all i can feel
You expected a lot from me, but it wasn't really me
It wasn′t really me
The lyrics to Chaoseum's song, "Unreal," explore the theme of feeling disconnected from oneself and one's past. The opening lines, "I dig into my past, I drown myself in everything in my memory doesn't remember me," suggests the singer's struggle to reconcile their present identity with their past experiences. The lyrics go on to describe the pain of feeling like a stranger to oneself, with lines like "This kind of little thing who makes me think that wasn't me" and "You expected a lot from me, but it wasn't really me." The repeated phrases "Prey for me" and "Spit on me" suggest the feelings of shame and guilt that can come with this kind of internal conflict.
The chorus of the song, "My world is unreal, that's all I can feel," captures the sense of disorientation and confusion that comes with this kind of psychological struggle. The repeated phrase "Chaos, growing in my head" suggests the turmoil and confusion that the singer is experiencing. Overall, the lyrics suggest a profound sense of disconnection and alienation, and the struggle to find a sense of self and belonging in a confusing and chaotic world.

@JesseBundrick
Unless u think it's copying which for some reason people say it is but honestly can't no one take korns legacy.
@TheGenerationalWealthGuy
I don't care if this sounds like Korn or if they are copying them, the world needs more numetal influence 🤘
@selkieun3269

@akurenda1985
Glad it's just not me. it's like Korn and Sevendust had a baby.
@selkieun3269
@@akurenda1985 yea man ! i wish jonathan davis would do a feature with chaoseum xD cause in my opinion they gave us the young korn style again !
@johnwalter6410
No we don't. These guys are committing plagiarism plain and simple. They are literally copying a band who worked hard to build a style and reputation and these guys stole it. They blow. I will say this. His voice is a lot less annoying than JD though.
@rojoloco
@@johnwalter6410 There are definitely many similarities but I wouldn't go so far as to call it plagiarism. Take a listen to their acoustic album. It'll give you an entirely new appreciation for the band as artists.
@chaoscloud9724
We need more metal bands like this, we need metal to takeover again 🤘🤘
