CHAOSTAR - CHAOSTAR (2000)

genre : symphonic, black metal, avant-garde, experimental, industrial, classical
similar bands : Septicflesh
origin : Greece
strong spot : everything
weak spot : nothing is weak here

What can I say about one of the most dark and atmospheric concept albums in the history of extreme music? Chaostar are something like an acoustic version of Septicflesh. The main conductor here is the mighty composer Christos Antoniou, the guitarist and one of the founding members of Septicflesh, that has written several scores and recently composed the music for the ''Wardevil'' video game (Playstation 3). Huge choirs, grandiose samples and loops, horror atmosphere, black metal screams and death metal growls, female vocals and complex orchestrations that are 100% original and 200% innovative. Just a last warning: there are no guitars here or real drums.
