Биография : Chaos Of Nazareth

Chaos was formed in Nazareth, in the year of 2006 by five Arab friends. Chaos is one of the rarest bands in the Arab sector that have been known for their distinctive genre -- i.e. Metal. The main topic behind their lyrics is the daily social and political struggle of the people living in the Middle East. The problems faced here is what pushed Chaos into making a change and to deliver a message of truth to the world.

Creating such an influential music came in order to try and transform the way people live, in order to make them understand the meaning behind the painful reality they are living in. This Holy Land has turned into a cursed one.

"We got called racist names to get off stage ; we got prevented of doing gigs just because we are Arabs, club managers didn't want us to show in their clubs claiming they don't want to lose his clients.
That’s why we have to fight with everything we've got in order to do what we believe we were born to do, and not to care about people who hate us, because their hatred motivates us to prove we have what it takes to be a great metal band".

In other words, Chaos is here to fight these distasteful thoughts and defend people's rights to live freely and be treated equally. The following quote can describe the message Chaos wants to deliver to the world : "take a look around you, see the truth, tell the truth and acknowledge it, don’t let the system deceive you. We all deserve to live in peace, no matter who you are, no matter what color you are, we are all equal human beings living under the same sky".

Chaos released their demo album "Brave Free Souls" towards the end of the year 2007. Their main gig which took place in January 2008 was a hit for everyone. It was hard for some people to believe that the members of the band were Arabs who could play such kind of music.
"Brave Free Souls" had a considerable influence on the fans and on the band itself. Therefore, they decided to make a video clip for this particular song, and chose "Mount Precipice" in Nazareth - where, according to the Holy Bible, Jesus used to pray - as the perfect setting for shooting the videp.

After all the success that the demo album brought to the band, Chaos decided to focuse on getting into the studio, and started discussing the new ideas for their next step towards creating their first official album "Facing the Nation".

That was the name of Chaos's first album that came out at the end of the year 2009. At that point, the band came to a realization that humanity was fading away day after day and life was becoming more and more like a living hell for the band members. What especially affected them was the place they come from ; People are becoming more racist, greedy and intolerant for each other, insofar as they are willing to kill each other for these matters. That was the main idea behind their lyrics.

In May 2010, Lamb Of God (the American metal band) had a concert in Israel and wanted Chaos to be their support band. Chaos made an impressive opening act that day in Hangar 11-Tel Aviv. That was the band's biggest performance yet.

In March 2011, two members left the band in order to make way for new members to join in : a new bassist (Sharbel Sababgha) and a drummer (Oday Safadi). Shortly after getting the new band together and feeling the new energies that the new members brought in, the band started rethinking to change their bands name into "Chaos Of Nazareth" because it also adds the place they came from and ironically came to poke the phrase "Jesus Of Nazareth" (which we are told in the books that he came to save all human kind).

The creation of the second album started in June 2011. The band decided to show their real Identity and focus more on the music in order to make it sound mid eastern, the place they came from, and to bring music to a place where the Metal music combined to a pure mid eastern Arab music.

In October 2011, the band built their own humble studio in their practice room to begin recording their second album "Rise of the Nation".
