Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, Chaos Divine combines polyrhythmic metal and ambient contemporary rock music. In mid-2006, the band completed a debut five-track EP entitled "Ratio" that went on to be voted #2 Australian metal release of the year on the ''Full Metal Racket'' listener's poll, and presenter Andrew Haug's personal #1.  
Formed from the remnants of '''Devoid''' by Felton, Kruit and Simon Mitchell, Chaos Divine is a Perth band playing a catchy and well-constructed blend of modern metal stylings featuring alternating harsh/clean vocals, polyrhythmic drumming and solid guitar work. During 2006, the band completed work on its debut CD while playing supports with '''Fear Factory, Devil Driver''' and '''Dark Tranquillity'''. After the release of the CD, drummer Ben Mazzarol was replaced by Chris Mitchell. Late in the year, "Ratio" won second place in the annual ''Three Hours of Power'' listener's poll for Best Australian Metal Release.
 
Chaos Divine has played alongside '''Slayer, Fear Factory, Devil Driver, Mastodon, Dark Tranquillity, Trivium''', [[Daysend]], [[Dreadnaught]] and others and completed its first Australian tour in 2007.  
Chaos Divine began 2007 with a support to '''Trivium''', followed in April by a Perth show with '''Slayer''' and '''Mastodon'''. The band began recording their full length album ''Avalon'' in Melbourne in February 2008; it was released on September 12. Mazzarol rejoined the band in the meantime. The album went on to win the West Australian Music Industry’s 2008 Song of the Year Award in the Heavy Rock/Metal category with the track "Refuse The Sickness". Chaos Divine was also among the top-five finalists nominated for the Metal/Hardcore award at the National MusicOz Awards. The album was also voted in the top 10 international metal albums of the year by Triple J and in early 2009, the band played the Perth leg of the Big Day Out. Chaos Divine was also nominated for the 2009 West Australian Music Industry award for best hard rock/metal act.  


In late 2008, Chaos Divine released its full-length debut, Avalon. The album went on to win the West Australian Music Industry’s 2008 Song of the Year Award in the Heavy Rock/Metal category with the track "Refuse The Sickness".
