Chilean symphonic metal group Chaos Magic have released a music video for the track ‘Falling Again’, which can be viewed below.
Chaos Magic issued second full-length studio album Furyborn on June 14th, 2019 through Frontiers Music Srl.
“I’ve been writing songs for many years, however, on the previous Chaos Magic album I had no intention of interfering with Timo’s creative process,” said frontwoman Caterina Nix, referencing ex-Stratovarius guitarist Timo Tolkki’s involvement on the first Chaos Magic album. “But in the case of Furyborn, I had the freedom to design a musical vision of my own. I wanted the album to have both a modern sound and nostalgic feel to it. The process of writing for me is very organic, I just start singing a melody and build the songs from there. I seek the chords, write the lyrics, and work them through. I have several streams of influence, so I definitely wanted a rich mixture of intensities, rhythms, and styles. Of course, I can’t leave out the fact that I worked with two brilliant musicians to give shape to the album, Franco Lama and Nasson, who also produced the album and was a key element in the development of the sound.”
Caterina further elaborated on Furyborn’s sound. “I wanted to mix different styles and also seek a sound of my own and I think that is well achieved in Furyborn, she stated. It’s a mixture of heavy, melodic, symphonic, and alternative metal, with traces of modern progressive and electronic elements, unique arrangements and a bit of a nostalgic feel associated to certain sounds from the 90s and early 00s. It has moments of rage, power, and sick darkness, but also vulnerable, sensual, and sometimes playful points. Furyborn is harder to label compared to the previous Chaos Magic album since on the new album the guitars are a more prominent ingredient that gives tremendous richness to the sound. In summary, Furyborn is a rollercoaster ride that flows through assorted intense styles with uncommon arrangements but with very catchy melodies.”
Furyborn features several guest vocalists, including Tom S. Englund (Evergrey) on the title track, Ailyn (ex-Sirenia) on ‘Bravely Beautiful’, and Ronnie Romero (Rainbow and CoreLeoni singer, and also ex-Lords Of Black) on ‘Path Of The Brave’.
Producer Nasson also duets with Caterina on ‘Falling Again’, while Mistheria lends keyboards to ‘Beware Of Silent Waters’.
“These are incredible voices and all the guest singers gave the album the textures I desired to each of the songs they participated in,” said Caterina.
Mixing was handled by Jacob Hansen.
