Artist: GENERAL CHAOS
Album: CALAMITY CIRCUS (DIGI)

Year: 2010
Media type: CD

German metallers GENERAL CHAOS have inked a deal with Cyclone Empire Records. The band's debut album, "Calamity Circus", will be released on November 12. According to a press release, the CD "comes as a beautiful digipak with an awesome poster booklet and an artwork that shows a band and their love for detailed, humorous and cool artworks that never cross the border to all ludicrous or clownish crab and are 100% without any touch of stereotypes!"

"Calamity Circus" was recorded at Maarweg Studio2 in Cologne, Germany, and and was mastered in France.

Anyway, the German metallers caught us by surprise with their debut album “Calamity Circus”, since they appear out of the blue without any previous releases or something. With a line up that surely has something to say (members from bands like DEW-SCENTED and THE OCEAN) and an album full of heavy as fuck tunes, GENERAL CHAOS surely seem like a lethal weapon in the hands of Cyclone Empire. The quintet presents an album influenced by the groovy filth of Swedish Death Metal (ENTOMBED), the US groovy Death Metal sound (OBITUARY), the PANTERA style catchy breaks and MOTORHEAD’s all time classic dirty Rock & Roll. GENERAL CHAOS actually serve you with a modern Death ‘n’ Roll album full of tunes that will grab your head and bang it whether you want it or not, as well as fill your glass with your favorite bourbon.

These German wackos are not trying to reinvent the sound or something like that, but they can definitely offer you approximately 32 minutes of pure & passionate metallic Rock & Roll. Love it or hate it!
