Chaosweaver covers army of lovers with heta hyttinen!

(July 8th, 2008)

Dear earthlings and dwellers of the Second Sun,

we promised a surprise for you, didn't we? Well, here we go: the first ever cover track by Chaosweaver is recorded, mixed and mastered. It was obvious from the very beginning that if we ever record a song composed by another artist, the track in question must match up to Chaosweaver's standards both musically and lyrically.

Crucified by Army of Lovers was the perfect choise. Period.

If the first verse starts with a line like "I've seen the deepest darkness and wrestled with Gods" and the track gushes with pompous orchestrations, how can you go wrong? The original version of Crucified is a fucking masterpiece, but we thought we'd spice it up with a few pandemonic flavors. Wanna snatch a taste? Check out a sample at www.myspace.com/chaosweaverband.

Even though I did do some shemale vocals on a couple of tracks on Puppetmaster of Pandemonium, we wanted to use a genuine feminine voice this time... I phoned up a friend of mine, famous Finnish journalist and presenter Heta Hyttinen. Gladly she agreed to help us out on the chorus, and did a terriffic job! Thanks to Kalmos of Ajattara for the tip, we didn't know Heta's such a professional singer.

Here's the good part: the first pressing of Puppetmaster of Pandemonium is nearly sold out (collectors: get yours asap!), and Crucified is going to be the bonus track on the second print! The album will be released in Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia on July 30th. If you don't want to buy the whole album, you can purchase the track from download shops worldwide on the very same day.

We've got tons of other news on the way, so stay tuned!

Where thorns are a teaser,

Max & Chaosweaver

chaosweaver enTERS THE STUDIO!

(June 26th, 2008)

Greetings, fellow weavers of Chaos

We are happy to announce that the pandemonic bunch, collectively known as Chaosweaver, will once again unite in Studio Perkele to capture the dark sonic scriptures and voices of the wicked on hard disc next week.

This time we will only lay down one cover track, the name and usage of which will be revealed shortly. One thing's for damn sure, you're in for a big surprise! The shadows will collide with the sun, the darkness shall embrace the light, and far beyond. Think evil, think big - think pink!

In Omega we trust,

Max & Chaosweaver

P.S. The first pressing of Puppetmaster of Pandemonium is nearly sold out, so get yours asap, as it will surely become a collector's item!

Miasma visited the chaosweaver session

(February 18, 2008)

Mikko Luntiala, a journalist from the Finnish metal mag Miasma, visited Chaosweaver's studio session late last month. Read about the recording of Jules Näveri's guest vocals and check out the pics from Miasma's site. Sorry, the text is in Finnish only, but here's a translated teaser for you:

"According to the pre listening of the album, this might well be - do I dare say out loud at this stage - the album of the year."

Chaosweaver changes singer!
(February 13, 2008)

Symphonic dark metallers Chaosweaver have recruited a new vocalist during the recording session of their yet to be titled debut album. A dark messiah Cypher Commander (see photos below) will handle the chanting duties from now on, as the former singer-guitarist Kole focuses on guitar playing exclusively.

– Cypher Commander is one of the best extreme metal vocalists out there, so handing him the mic was an easy task. Now I can fully concentrate on the things I do best, states Chaosweaver's riff maestro Kole.

In addition to the renewed vocalist department, the album will feature an impressive mix of guest stars. Rotten, the former frontman of the Finnish deathrash gods Deathchain, growled his ass off on five tracks, making the Chaosweaver album his first studio appearance in three years. His latest work, Deathchain's Deathrash Assault (2005), skyrocketed into the Official Finnish Album chart at # 18.

The multitalented Jules Näveri of Profane Omen and Enemy of the Sun fame nailed the ending track of the forthcoming Chaosweaver effort. There might be a couple more visitors to come – we'll keep you informed. You can read more about the recording process in our updated studio diary. Check out the pics too!

The release date of the album will be postponed to a later date, we're guessing late April or early May.
