Recenze/review - CHAOS INCEPTION - Vengeance Evangel (2025)


CHAOS INCEPTION - Vengeance Evangel
CD 2025, Lavadome Productions

for english please scroll down

Probudíš se do absolutní tmy. Cítíš, vnímáš všemi póry svého těla, že někde v temnotě se ukrývá čiré zlo. Divoké a nespoutané, surové a brutální. Schválně to někdy zkuste. Zhasněte všechna světla a pusťte si nové album death metalových maniaků CHAOS INCEPTION. Zasvěcení moc dobře vědí, že se jedná o kapelu, která sice netrpí nadprodukcí, ale když už něco vydá, tak to stojí opravdu za to. Již potřetí máme možnost navštívit pravé peklo. Takové, jak si jej představovali staří malíři i spisovatelé. Nezastírám a ani nemohu, z návratu téhle smečky mám velkou radost.

Smrtící kov se dá hrát mnoha způsoby. Ten, který nám předkládají démoni z Alabamy, je morbidní, technický, špinavý a ošklivý. Shnije vám v rukou a budete zvracet krev smíchanou se sírou. Pánové jdou opět na dřeň, na samou podstatu zla, které spalo dlouhé roky ve studené jeskyni. "Vengeance Evangel" je k dokonalosti vybroušený stylový černý drahokam. S masivním, zabijáckým zvukem (Andrea Petucco -  mixing, mastering), s obalem, který je neklidný a dotýká se pekla (autorem je David Glomba). 


Je to tanec na ostrých střepech, je to výlet do záhrobí, je to divoká jízda, směřující přímo do Hádovy říše. Při poslechu ožívají starodávné bestie. Skladby jsou napsány komplikovaně, zpočátku tak alespoň působí. Proto je nutné více poslechů, více společných černých mší. Teprve po nějakém čase se vám dostanou do krve i do podvědomí. Pokud máte rádi smečky jako DIABOLIC, HATE ETERNAL, KRISIUN, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, ANGELCORPSE, CENTURIAN, AZARATH a další kapely, které definují tmu, zlo a nenávist pomocí kovu smrti, určitě oceníte i sílu a energii CHAOS CONCEPTION. Pánové napsali skladby, které v sobě mají spoustu zajímavých momentů. Tahle smečka má svůj vlastní, zcela nezaměnitelný rukopis a poznáte ji ihned, jakmile zazní prví tón, první nota. Vše je v podstatě dokonalé, po formální stránce určitě. Navíc je potom přidáváno velké množství neotřelých nápadů. Na rouhání bylo vždy něco přitažlivého, něco, co po sobě nechává bolestivý otisk. S novým albem "Vengeance Evangel" je to podobné. Jakoby se mi dostala kapela do hlavy a zůstávala po ní krvavá stopa. Hudba zde připomíná starou ránu, neléčený vřed, který je právě proříznut a vytéká z něj zkažený hnis a špína, nasbírané na onom světě. Osobně se mi potom líbí neklidná a pochmurná atmosféra celé desky. Procházím se morbidní galerií smrti a nasávám pach zkaženého masa. Ožívají přede mnou veškerá zvěrstva, kterých je schopen jenom člověk. Koneckonců, naše historie mluví sama za sebe. Tohle album je zahrané od srdce, je dílem mistrů ve svém oboru. Náhodě nebylo ponecháno nic a hudba zde zní jako krutá a hnusná symfonie samotné smrti. Divoký a nespoutaný, surový a brutální death metalový útok z absolutní tmy! Totální zlo, přetavené v hudbu! 


Asphyx says:

You'll wake up to total darkness. You feel, you sense with every pore of your body, that somewhere in the darkness there is pure evil. Wild and unbridled, raw and brutal. Try it sometime. Turn off all the lights and listen to the new album of death metal maniacs CHAOS INCEPTION. Insiders know very well that this is a band that doesn't suffer from overproduction, but when they do release something, it's really worth it. For the third time we have the opportunity to visit the real hell. The kind of hell as it was imagined by old painters and writers. I can't hide it, and I can't hide it, I'm very happy to see the return of this pack.

There are many ways to play the death metal. The one presented by the demons of Alabama is morbid, technical, dirty and ugly. It will rot in your hands and make you vomit blood mixed with sulfur. The gentlemen go to the bottom again, to the very essence of the evil that has slept for years in a cold cave. "Vengeance Evangel" is a stylish black gem polished to perfection. With a massive, killer sound (Andrea Petucco - mixing, mastering), a cover that is restless and touches hell (by David Glomba). 


It's a dance on sharp rocks, it's a trip to the beyond, it's a wild ride, heading straight for the realm of Hades. As you listen, ancient beasts come to life. The songs are written in a complicated way, at least they seem so at first. That's why more listens are necessary, more black masses together. Only after some time do they get into your blood and subconscious. If you like bands like DIABOLIC, HATE ETERNAL, KRISIUN, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, ANGELCORPSE, CENTURIAN, AZARATH and other bands that define darkness, evil and hatred with the metal of death, you will definitely appreciate the power and energy of CHAOS CONCEPTION. The gentlemen have written songs that have a lot of interesting moments in them. This pack has its own, completely unmistakable signature and you will recognize it as soon as the first note is played. Everything is basically perfect, formally for sure. And then a lot of fresh ideas are added. There has always been something appealing about blasphemy, something that leaves a painful imprint. With the new album "Vengeance Evangel" it is similar. It's like the band got into my head and left a trail of blood. The music here is reminiscent of an old wound, an untreated ulcer that has just been cut open and oozing out the rotten pus and filth collected in the hereafter. Personally, then, I like the restless and gloomy atmosphere of the whole record. I walk through the morbid gallery of death and take in the smell of rotten flesh. All the atrocities that only man is capable of come alive before me. After all, our history speaks for itself. This album is played from the heart, the work of masters in their field. Nothing has been left to chance and the music here sounds like a cruel and ugly symphony of death itself. A wild and unbridled, raw and brutal death metal assault from the absolute darkness! Total evil, transformed into music!

News! - After twelve years, CHAOS INCEPTION returns with Vengeance Evangel, their third album


Release date: February 14, 2025

After twelve years, Chaos Inception returns with Vengeance Evangel, their third album—a declaration of death metal’s raw power. The band presents a timeless release that pushes the genre to its limits, unafraid of defying trends or expectations. This is Chaos Inception’s uncompromising and fearless vision.

Vengeance Evangel creates a soundscape defined by one word: arrogant—not as a flaw, but as self-assurance earned through exceptional talent, years of discipline, and an unwavering drive. Drawing from the rich traditions of Brazilian and Floridian death metal, it pushes the genre’s boundaries with a sharp, focused vision. The album blends these influences with innovative touches—major-key riffs, intricate solos, and an unrelenting approach—that extend the genre’s potential far beyond the ordinary, forming a powerful, unapologetic manifesto. Originality is achieved without relying on keyboards or interludes; its power and atmosphere come from unrestrained force and exquisite composition. Vengeance Evangel is savage death metal in its purest, most unyielding form.

The music channels an intensity that transcends mere aggression, evoking a spirit of triumph from within its seemingly chaotic energy. Its relentless drive is not simply destructive but transformative—a force that cuts through darkness, confronts despair, and emerges victorious. This is music built to endure and conquer—a statement of strength and defiance that burns with unshakable conviction. With Vengeance Evangel, Chaos Inception offers a rare glimpse into death metal’s boundless potential and its power to uplift, overcome, and inspire.

The production of Vengeance Evangel embodies the band’s rebellion against modern conventions, capturing an explosion of untamed energy that death metal demands. Rejecting the sterile, over-compressed sound typical of today’s sound engineering, the album roars with dynamic force that feels alive. In a world of formulaic, soulless production, this record stands out with its own voice—authentic, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore. Every riff and every track serves as a solid testament to the band’s dedication to preserving the depth and identity that should define death metal. The sound commands attention, drawing the listener into its expansive, visceral nature. This is an overlooked aspect, akin to the classic albums of the past, now overshadowed by an era where music has been reduced to a polished, “loud-by-default” product, with its value in deeper listening fading away.


There are no weak moments on Vengeance Evangel. Each track carries Chaos Inception’s unmistakable identity. From powerful riffs and relentless drumming to electrifying solos, this album is one that couldn’t have been created by anyone else. While some tracks may not strike immediately due to the sheer extremity of the material, repeated listens will reveal its depth and complexity, securing Vengeance Evangel as one of the standout death metal albums ever.

A key feature that sets the album apart is its approach to guitar solos (some influenced by the jazz guitarists of the ‘60s and ‘70s), which are far more than technical exercises. They are dynamic, integral extensions of the songs themselves. At times explosive, at others triumphant, they punctuate the tracks with electrifying moments. This serves as a reminder that solos in death metal are not mere adornments but essential elements of its power. It’s a challenge to modern guitarists: death metal leads should be about more than technicality—they need to return to the untamed, raw spirit where they belong.

Vengeance Evangel exists without compromise, capturing the essence of death metal with precision, force, and purpose. It’s here to remind listeners of the genre’s true potential. This is music that challenges, elevates, and empowers. Chaos Inception has delivered a record that’s a weapon—an unrelenting blast of energy aimed straight at the heart of darkness, designed to make the listener feel victorious.

Twelve years in the making, Vengeance Evangel is here—and it’s not waiting for anyone’s approval. This is Chaos Inception as they were always meant to be. This is death metal at its rawest, most unapologetic form.

Turn it up LOUD, feel it hit, and remember—this is how death metal is meant to triumph.
