Chris Antoniou, student for a long time in the largest universities of music in England, is the initiator of this new formation centered on the mixture of the classical music and the experimental music.

All the type-setters of Septic Flesh take part in the development of the compositions but Chris reigns as a Master and orchestra with as much of brilliance of the musicians resulting from a Metal set than of a Classique set.

The result of this timeless confrontation will give rise to a music rich in seizing and destabilizing emotions. Natalie Rassoulis, a such divinity come from another time affixes its borrows with a growing talent which knows and will be able to always touch us with deepest of ourself.

Whose God?
Chaostar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rest and piece eternal give them
Whose God?
And light for ever shine down upon them
Free the souls that faithful departed from hell.
What advocate entreat to speak for me.
When from the dust shall rise
What was hidden is uncovered
Not forgotten not forgiven unpunished.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chaostar's song Whose God? is a direct questioning of God's mercy and judgment. The opening lines "Rest and piece eternal give them, Whose God? And light forever shine down upon them" is an irony because it is questioning whose God exactly is it that can provide peace and light for those who have passed away. The following line "Free the souls that faithful departed from hell" is possibly a reference to the Catholic belief in purgatory, where the souls of the faithful are purified before entering heaven. The lyrics are a reflection on the afterlife, where the singer wonders who will speak for them when they rise from the dust, and their deeds and sins are uncovered and punsihed. This could mean that the singer is unconvinced of their own righteousness or that they believe that there is no forgiveness and judgment.

In conclusion, Chaostar's song Whose God? is a critique of the common beliefs about God's mercy and judgment. The lyrics are a direct questioning of whose God it is that can provide peace, light, and judgment for the departed. The singers also question their righteousness and who will speak for them when they rise from the dead.
