History
This band was a new Finnish death metal project featuring bassist Oppu
Laine (ex-Amorphis, Mannhai), ex-Gandalf drummer Nalle Österman,
guitarist Marko Tarvonen (Moonsorrow), guitarist Esa Holopainen
(Amorphis) as well as vocalist Taneli Jarva (ex-Sentenced, The Black
League). The project had an EP called Unleashed Carnage on Finnish
label
Rising Realm Records in 2003.
A recording session for a debut full-length had to be cancelled in the
summer of 2003 when producer-designate Tomas Skogsberg could not
proceed
with the session due to a family emergency. The band entered CCPC
Studio
in the autumn and recorded an album called Brutal. Two members of
Entombed guested on the CD.
Chaosbreed cancelled its show in Jyväskylä on Friday, August 20th after
singer Jarva injured his back at a The Black League show in Oulu.
Guitarist Esa Holopainen and singer Taneli Jarva exited the band in the
spring of 2005.
Reviews
CHAOSBREED - BRUTAL - CENTURY MEDIA
Let's cut to the chase. Chaosbreed is an Entombed clone band. The Finns, featuring current and former members of Sentenced, Amorphis and Gandalf, are so in love with Entombed's 1992 album Clandestine that they have laid down a whole album of songs sounding and structured like that particular Entombed period. While most Swedeath bands are more liable to emulate Entombed's classic debut Left Hand Path, Chaosbreed - whose name is a minor variation of a song off Clandestine called Chaos Breed - take to Entombed's second opus. The band has not only successfully reproduced Entombed's music here, but singer Taneli Jarva has done a perfect job of mimicking that album's vocals. Brutal also features guest appearances by a couple of Entombed members in order to complete the effect. - Ali "The Metallian"
