Bio:

CHAOSTAR wishes to be the experiment in music.The band has been born out of Christos Antoniou's deep desire to create music that has a more Classical approach.The guitarist emerged internationally as one of the founding members of Greece's leading Dark Metal band SEPTICFLESH, which was founded in 1993 and nowadays stands among the leading bands in Symphonic metal music.When SEPTICFLESH released their single "The Eldest Cosmonaut" in September 1998 it clearly took a step towards Classical music within a Metal context. The ensuing success inspires Christos and his band mates to create a project parallel to their main band in order to pursue this course further. This project becomes known as CHAOSTAR.Although Christos is clearly the driving force behind this new formation, which focuses on an amalgamation of Classical and experimental music, all type-setters of SEPTICFLESH take part in the development of the compositions. Christos holds the reins firmly in his hand and coordinates the interchange of brilliant musicians from the Metal as well as the orchestral side.This timeless confrontation of different styles gives rise to a music full off emotions as well as evoking and moving them. On top of this, vocalist Natalie Rassoulis, a divinity seemingly coming from another time, throws in her ever growing talent to touch the depths of our inner beings. After their self released first output "The Underworld" (2000) CHAOSTAR sign a deal with French label Holy Records who releases "Chaostar" (2000), "Threnody" (2001), "The Scarlet Queen" (2004) and finally the compilation "Underworld" (2007).Right now,Chaostar is revived and breaths under the support of Season Of Mist, for one more time.The new album “Anomima” is the dynamic come back of the band ,exposing all the experimental intentions of the leading composer. The mass of classical and dark ambience is in a primitive dialogue with ethnic and electronic sounds, aspiring to magnetize even the most demanding listener.Six languages are used in the songs of “Anomima” stretching more the limits of creation, exploring even deeper the final results that the every culture's language can add to the songs.Inspired by the idea of free will and self -exaltation through sacrifice ,the album aims to leave the listener with a bitter-sweet taste awakening the emotional tension and grief that lays inside our hearts.Traditional instruments such as Yiallil tambur, Kaval, Oud interact with the Filmharmonic Orchestra and Choir of Prague under the veil of operatic and eastern vocals.Chaostar's presents a dark ritual of controversiality where music is a means and the listener becomes the transformed object.Chaostar presents the new album "Anomima".A controversial amalgama of different musical styles and sounds.The Greek band under the baguette of Christos Antoniou co-operates with the Filmharmonic Orchestra and Choir of Prague creating a trip into the world of music.Cover by Metastazis.Chaostar is honored to have as guest vocalists on this album David Vincent (Morbid Angel) and Fernando Ribeiro (Moonspell) who added their distinctive color on two songs ,taking the ambiance of “Anomima” one step further.David Vincent narrates a deadly multiverse on the most wick song of the album refering to “Medea” ,while Fernando Ribeiro gives chills throughout his dark and metallic color of his voice able to accelerate the tension and maintain the rituality of the album.CHAOSTAR wishes to indulge you in an unknown musical dimension that will free your thoughts and soul.We wish that “Anomima”won't just feast your ears,but would achieve to link you with the band and would become the bond holding tight a new long-term relation.

Album:

Staggeringly good...Septicflesh Alumnus Christos Antoniou is back after a five year hiatus with his ‘other’ project, Chaostar, and I have to say what a delight it is to have him back in this guise.Harnessing the astonishing vocals of Androniki Skoula – she’s part Diamanda Galas, part Ofra Haza – Antoniou leaves no musical stone unturned to flesh out his sonic vision on The Undivided Light.Hence the album veers stylistically from Massive Attack-styled trip-hop through occasional bouts of extreme metal to the refined classical style of somebody like Zoltan Kodaly and back again, all the while engaging the listener and challenging them to stay with the record despite the labyrinthine twists and turns it is constantly making. If you manage to do so you’ll find The Undivided Light an utterly satisfying listening experience.It’s not all wilfully difficult – opening track Tazama Jua, despite the Swahili pretensions of it’s title, sounds very much like the work of Ofra Haza circa Yemenite Songs at it’s outset before hitting it’s stride as a straightforward, percussion-driven banger. It’s the ‘simplest’ of the songs on offer but none the worse for that; Blutbad is more unsettling and features auxiliary vocals (in German) from Margarita Stadler. Morose and sombre, it acts as an immediate counterpoint to the urgency of the opener.Stones and Dust features another commanding vocal and some more impressive drumwork from Nikolaos Velentzas (who, clever chap that he is, also contributes guitar to Blutbad), these two bulwarks being augmented by a beautifully scored string part that raises the hairs on the back of the neck. Title track The Undivided Light is quite superb, pushed on by a brooding, electronic pulse over which Skoula builds the tension up backed again by strings until the whole thing reaches an ecstatic breaking point. It’s exhilarating to listen to, and you’ll struggle not to be consumed by the dramatic triumph of the piece as a whole.Mémnizo is dusky and middle-eastern at it’s outset, cinematic yet avoiding the obvious cliches that this sort of music can invoke, moving through a jagged classical section before Skoula takes over with an absolute tour de force of a vocal to take the song home. Thoroughly spine-tingling.The album’s set piece is the near-eleven minute Silent Yard. Here Antoniou – and I don’t want to downplay the planet-sized talent at work here by indulging in tired cliché when the piece deserves more, but I’m going to – throws the kitchen sink at the listener. Wave after weave of delirious noise envelopes the ears, from a sparsely-accompanied Skoula croon to full-bodied orchestral sturm und drang, every element from the rest of the album gets at least a brief reprise as the composer unleashes his full arsenal on the listener. It’s astounding stuff, tiring to listen to even, yet ultimately incredibly fulfilling.The album closes with Ying & Yang, perhaps the most conventional track on offer; Velentzas again provides the ballast with some bewitching drum patterns before the strings again ramp up the intensity; all the while Skoula sails atop the maelstrom, delivering with ethereal power and dolorous regality. The song fades to a mournful conclusion, leaving silence to fill the void so adeptly combusted only seconds before by the festival of sound created by Antoniou and his Chaostar co-conspiritors. The only answer to this sad state of affairs is to go back to the beginning and experience the whole wonderful shebang all over again. Marvellous stuff.
