Danny Chaotic created the CHAOTICA project in 1997 when he began writing industrial-metal music for his first full length album, which would later be titled Turbocharger when it was independently released by CHAOTICA in 1999. Soon after, Danny Chaotic recruited talented local musicians to take CHAOTICA's music to the stage while living in Fort Wayne, Indiana. CHAOTICA's live act performed at local venues in the midwest, often times filling clubs to capacity due to their high-intensity stage antics and over-stimulating light and video effects.

For 4 years running, CHAOTICA won local radio contests to appear on compilation albums produced by area commercial radio station X-102 WEJE (later WXTW) consisting of the hottest local talent. CHAOTICA released an amateur music video for their first single "Ultra Violence" compiled from footage from their live performances. CHAOTICA went on to record a stand-alone single entitled "Where Was God?" that won a spot on the WXTW compilation album Extreme Essentials Vol. 5. CHAOTICA began receiving notable airplay from college and commercial radio stations from 2001-2002, especially when they released their limited-production remix album entitled Offset Impact.

CHAOTICA moved on to work with Marilyn Manson's now defunct record company "Posthuman Records" to remix the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" covered by the industrial-goth band gODHEAD. Lords of Acid also contributed to the remix project. Following that, Danny Chaotic left Indiana and moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he began recording tracks for the band's sophomore album, "Prison of Decay."

CHAOTICA finished "Prison of Decay" in August of 2006, but the first single from the album would not hit the airwaves until late 2007. "Unstable," the first single from Prison of Decay (published by Phoenix-based indie label, Cold Fusion Records) was a hit on commercial radio across the U.S. and charted in the Top 50 of the FMQB Alternative Radio Charts after getting specialty and regular rotation airplay on commercial stations including KUPD (Phoenix), KFMA (Tucson, AZ), KRQR (Chico, CA), WPLA (Jacksonville, FL), WTFX (Louisville, KY), WEND (Charlotte, NC), WSFM (Wilmington, NC), Waitt Radio Network, KTEG (Albuquerque, NM), WXEG (Dayton, OH), KACV (Amarillo, TX), KMRJ (San Diego, CA) and XM Squizz.

"Unstable" also garnered a strong show of support on the web, as it helped the band achieve over 50,000 song plays on MySpace, catapulting them into the Top 20 MySpace Industrial Artists in the U.S.

The music video for "Unstable," was also released in in 2007 and made its way across regional cable networks nationwide. The video also was picked up by high profile video websites (like Rollingstone.com, AOL Music, and Yahoo! Launch) and achieved over 20,000 views on YouTube in a few days.

Soon to follow, CHAOTICA released "When She Falls" in 2008, their second single from Prison of Decay. The band scored an endorsement deal with Canadian clothing design company "Futurstate" and featured their clothes in the high-definition music video for "When She Falls."

CHAOTICA is currently releasing music through indie label Cold Fusion Records via a non-exclusive publishing agreement, and is seeking licensing opportunities and major label involvement with their future musical projects.
