Tracklist:
1. The Calm Before the Chaos

Armed Chaos (formerly Resurrection) was founded in 2007  by guitarist Stephen Brock and shortly thereafter found bassist Albert Melear. In 2008 James Moses joined on the drums and remained until 2010, then leaving because of musical differences. Shortly afterward Eric Vogt ascended to the drum throne. Then at the very end of 2010 Johnathon Jackson joined to further complete the sound on lead/rhythm guitar. After Albert Melear departed in May 2012 to pursue other musical ventures, Joshua Hamby completed the madness as our full time bass player. It was at this time we changed our name to Armed Chaos. August 7, 2014 Joshua Hamby left Armed Chaos to continue his musical goals in Shotgun Eulogy. After a brief time Josh Hamby came back and Armed Chaos entered the studio and then recorded the “Armed Chaos” E.P. at One Less Limb Studios in  Newnan, Georgia. Knick Mason (ex-Mnemosyne) became the new full-time bassist and backing vocalist. It was with this lineup that “The Opposition’s Crushed” , the AC full length debut was recorded in the summer of 2015. This line up waged metal war for a year before Armed Chaos would see yet another change. Johnathon Jackson and Knick Mason left, and after a few shows jamming with Tayler Warren on guitar (Homicidal) and Bailey Allender on Bass (Wormreich), Armed Chaos brought in full time new members Alex Halligan on bass and Adam Cochran (Ex-Catastrofear) on lead rythym guitar.

I have already listened to the previous release of the band  Armed Chaos EP
and I have to say that in their new album they stay true to their sound which they love as fans too. Musically the band moves somewhere between the Thrash metal sound and the  Speed metal genre you will find a strong Thrash elements and sometimes a Death Metal  feeling filtered though the Heavy Metal sound. Without reminding something in specific, I am sure that an experienced listener will find some similarities with such bands like Exodus , Slayer and the Mighty Living Death.
