I have to admit that I’m not sure I could name a single
metal band from Serbia, or actually even all that much at all to have come out
of Serbia other than a couple of footballers, so finding Chaosium by chance
browsing online was interesting. From Jagodina, a town 85 miles south of
Belgrade with a population of just over 36,000, Chaosium have recently released
three tracks, together titled ‘MMXV’.
‘All Safety Mutates’ is the first track, dead on five
minutes and a track that really grabs you after a strangely fitting
electronic-y, eerie intro, with sounds like dentist tools mixed in with echoing
machine noises. Chaosium are a band of real substance in their chuggy, hard and
heavy riffs with some very At The Gates/Arch Enemy sounding vocals at times. ‘Malicious
Design’, the second track on the release kicks straight in for 4 minutes of
faster paced music, and it’s in this track that the production really shines
through, what is clear is that a lot of time and effort has gone into making
the sound on the record next to perfect, with some very Demigod-era Behemoth
sounds just before the solo. Listen to it and you’ll see what I mean. Final
track ‘Tyranny’ is also a great track, and it’s really a shame that this is the
final track on the record, but it is obvious that this is a band that given
time really have the potential to go places, I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes
peeled for more from Chaosium.
