In previous issues I’ve had the opportunity to
review the ‘GARDEN OF FORGOTTEN SHADOWS’- CD-R and the first album of them
called ‘KULT OF DEMENTIA’. And without doubt the band present us a big
evolution to previous works, and have made great steps in their musical
evolution , But in my personal point of view they have lost certain sound
underground to give a breath to modern DEATH METAL. Clearly a death metal more
crude to be more or soft. ‘ART OF KILLING’ is a great work with very good
recording sound, where each track have perfect combinations of parts fast,
death metal riffs that join in very good guitars solo’s, Giving lessons of how
can be mixed a conventional death metal, brutal death metal and new technical
death metal, as well should I call to a current which is more that just as this
band you have added these touches of fresh rhythms that other bands of metal
music that is not death metal have, thus changing the aesthetics of the tracks.
CHAOS SYNOPSIS, is a typical DEATH METAL band in essence, much more modern than
usual death metal bands with high level of professionals who know where they
want to be as a band and this album I think that the catapult more in the top
of the bands that usually the common mean you want to hear. The tracks are all
without exception have great develop of their musicians, all are playing
perfectly, and gives the listeners the perception of being a European or North
American band without any problem, but In my point of view they have loss
mysticism of pure death metal as must sound…Nowadays the mainly of bands are
trying only to improve but they diverge from the primal sound, perhaps the old
guys don't let our music that we started to go beyond ... perhaps… This is for
the new generation of Death metal bangers …A work that rises in quality but
loses in meaning underground. http://www.chaossynopsis.com/
T: How many copies out of your Cd. “Garden Of Forgotten Shadows” you think that are around thelfrom Sweden, which is very important to open new doors on Europe.
Jairo: I think it passed 2000 copies, it was well distributed all over the globe. Thanks to Anaites in Brazil, Tony and Salute Records and TchorT all over the globe.
T: Changes in the band, with vocals, why? Now you are in the voices and the sound is very different, what you think and do you have any comments?
Jairo: Daniel was a good singer, but he didn’t have what it needs to be on a serious band, so he was kicked off. I sing in a way more brutal than him and I think it fits better with our sound.
T: The sound change more from technical voice death metal to brutal voice death metal, Am I correct? The rest of music is more technical with the years and rehearsals. You recorded again the song “Spiritual Cancer” to note the difference?
Jairo: as the years passes our influences changes a little and our composition too, we got better in our instruments and in composition. Spiritual Cancer was the more commented song of our demo, so it deserved a better record, together with Only Evil can Prevail, my favourite. People like it and us of the band too, the final result was great.
T: You have Support with Anaites (Great Friend) in the Cd. “Garden Of Forgotten Shadows”, he is a very important support of the Brasilian scene. Also have support of Freemind Records.
Jairo: Anaites helped us a lot getting a good name in Brazil, it’s a small label that works hard for his bands, but he works more with demos and cd-r, now with the cd we had a good offer from FreeMind, that is a good label in Brazil and do a good support to us too. We are very thankfull to Anaites, if it weren’t for them, we weren’t who we are today.
T: In the past you had a blogspot of cool bands, now is offline? Also have a great Support to “The Legion Of TchorT” Compilation with big press of 1,000 copies “The Valley of Chaos Distribution” (Eternal Thanks)
Jairo: the blog is fucking great to bands wanting to show their material, but this year I got to much work and little time to take care about the blog and to run into bands to ask for their material, whenever I get the time I still upload and whenever a band ask me I’ll do it in the blog.
For the Compilation, it was great, for me that knew lots of people in the distribution and for the bands itself, that got known in Brazil, unfortunately, time fucks all and I couldn’t continue the work with the other Compilations. But still, WE ARE LEGION.
T: You Played with the Band Dismember, Mayhem, Vulcano, etc and what remember of this concerts? Now you have tons of concerts for spread the new Cd “Kvlt ov Dementia” in Brasil and prepare a concert in Paraguay, how is the scene here, and what bands you know?
Jairo: All the great bands we played together teached us a lot ‘bout profissionalism, how to behave in stage and a lot of other things and was all great ‘cause many people could know our songs in these gigs.
The “Tour ov Dementia” was fucking great, we did tons of shows in much cities in Brazil and did our first international show in Paraguay. What can I say? People in Paraguay are crazy, they don’t have so many bands from out there playing, so they received us well.
T: Why you put out Free Download Single “Postwar Madness” few weeks before Out your Cd “Kvlt ov Dementia”and not do a promotion months before, very Fast.
Jairo: The cover of the single was not ready ‘till one month before the cd was out, so it fucked a little, but the single was well downloaded and did it’s part of the divulgation.
T: Also do a Ep. “2100 A.D.” with one song, only for download or press?
Jairo: The EP “2100 A.D.” was a song recorded to show the “new” formation of power trio, in 2008.
T: You think that continue a Dvd with Chaos Synopsis?
Jairo: We think of recording a DVD, but don’t have any plans for now, but we’re going to record a clip ‘till the middle of the year.
T: In Single “Postwar Madness” you do a cover Zombie Ritual of Death, you like so much this band or is only a tribute of one god of technical death metal band?
Jairo: We fucking love Death, it’s one of the greatest Death Metal bands of all time, and this song is special for me, it was the first death metal song I’ve heard and learnt to play.
T: Tell Jairo Our readers about your cool merchandise and offers! And great thanks for all brother, We are the Legion!!
Jairo: For anyone who likes we have cds and some T-shirts for selling, take a look at our MySpace, there are the links there. www.myspace.com/chaossynopsisbr
Thank you all who reads this and specially you TchorT, we ARE fucking Legion.
After their first ep "Garden Of Forgotten Shadows" back in 2006 and one in 2008 much have happened. The band has both grown in sound, performing and musically and this debut album is no exception. This is in fact one of the best thrash/death album from 2009 I have heard and now it is 2010 and still I think this one rules. The original and first edition of this album that came out by freemind Records includes 10 tracks of intense, raw, evil thrash/death metal. And sometimes this brings me back to memories of old Morbid Angel, Death, Dragon, Sepultura and also bands like Kreator and Exodus. This is absolutely a milestone in the metal history! Songs that is more than just best is to mention "Postwar Madness", "Only Evil Can Prevail", "Expired Faith" and "2100 A.D". But it is real hard to say that some track is better than others as the whole album gives you a total smash in your face! If you are fan of good old thrash and death bands from the late 80s and 90s, you wont regret to buy this one!? Comes with an exclusive booklet folder with awesome pictures and all the bands lyrics. Just some add is that Chaos Synopsis goes a little further beyond the normality and does it better than many. This is so brutal...(The european edition of this cd from Psycho Records comes with two bonuses also)
