Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, Chaos Divine's signature is very much what the name suggests - a blaze of thick riffage with a brick wall-sized sound that at times spirals into hypnotic melodies. Drawing on influences from a vast array of metal bands such as Opeth, Arch Enemy, Dream Theater, Meshuggah ,Tool, Katatonia, Scar Symmetry and Soilwork, this quintet forges brutal polyrhythmic metal and ambient contemporary rock music into a uniquely turbulent sonic alloy.

In mid-2006, the band completed six months worth of work on a debut five-track EP entitled Ratio. The EP was voted the second best Australian metal release of 2006 by the listeners of Triple J’s Full Metal Racket program, and the shows presenter, Andrew Haug, voted Ratio his number one Australian metal release.

In just over two years, Chaos Divine has supported or played alongside international acts such as Slayer(USA), Fear Factory (USA), Devil Driver (USA), Mastodon (USA), Dark Tranquillity (Sweden), and Trivium (USA), and leading Australian bands Daysend (NSW), Dreadnaught (VIC), Contrive (VIC), Five Star Prison Cell (VIC), Picture The End (VIC), Black Asylum (NSW), Double Dragon (SA) and Dyscord (WA). The band completed its first Australian tour in 2007, performing 11 shows across Australia.

In late 2008, Chaos Divine released its long-awaited full-length debut album entitled Avalon, recorded at Melbourne’s Sing Sing Studios. Produced by Melbourne recording and mix engineer Jarrad Hearman, Avalon marks a new era for Chaos Divine, pushing the band’s unique brand of technical, progressive and melodic metal to a new level of refinement. Avalon is now available from all good record stores around Australia through Firestarter Music & Distribution.

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 held in Sydney and broadcast live to a national television audience, in both 2007 and 2008. Avalon was also voted in the top 10 international metal albums of the year by Triple J and in early 2009, the band was invited to play the Perth leg of the country's largest annual music festival: The Big Day Out. The band is also nominated for the 2009 West Australian Music Industry award for best hard rock/metal act.

In late 2009, Chaos Divine will for the first time venture outside of Australian shores to play a run of European shows including the 2009 Progpower Europe festival along side Evergrey, Andromeda (SWE), Hacride (FRA), Mercenary (DEN) and many more. The festival, held in Baarlo, Netherlands showcases over 20 Progressive and Power metal acts from around the world.

In November 2009, Chaos Divine will be representing the West Coast at the Australian Metal Awards being held at 'The Forum' in Sydney.

Alone in the Sky "Although Allegiance flew the metal flag for a long while in the west, bands such as Vespers Descent, Pathogen, The Furor and The Burning are rallying for the cause and at the same time, are raising the flag higher than ever before. Add to that list Chaos Divine." TheMetalForge.com "The band's debut EP Ratio is at the top of the national metal pile...an exercise in excellence... Part death, part power, part thrash, this record is on many levels, simply unstoppable." Zebra Magazine

Refuse The Sickness

"Chaos Divine proceeded to lay waste to each and every metal set built in Perth this year... Chaos were simply untouchable... the most exciting metal band in Australia right now and capable of playing beside any international peer you care to name."
