Band Information
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.
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.
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". 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 October 2009 Chaos Divine played the 2009 Progpower Europe festival and some other shows in Belgium. At the Australia Metal Awards the following month, the band won five awards including Best Vocalist, Best Album (for Avalon), Song of the Year (for "Refuse the Sickness") and Best Overall Band.
