Best wishes and good fortune for 2012!
We sure had a turbulent 2011, releasing our debut, saying goodbye to a friend, welcoming a new friend, having played a couple of memorable shows, and a dozen more things which in total make a long list. All in all we did a lot in 2011, but have a lot more in store for 2012. We expect this year will be even more turbulent than last with big announcements to come.
The first big announcement is that we will tour Europe for the first time!! We will tour two weeks together with the American band Denial Fiend (with members of Obituary, Massacre and Six Feet Under) starting already in March. Take a look at our tour schedule, and we hope to see you on the road!

Always wanted to know how to play one of the fastest songs on "Chaos || Pain || Despair"? Watch the how-to-video of Hybrid Breed below!!
The rhythm parts of the song are played twice. First slowly at 150 bpm, with a drum computer and a second rhythm part. Second at original speed of 210 bpm, with the audio track taken from the album. Enjoy!

Please welcome our new guitarist Casper!
Casper came up first when we started looking for a guitarist to replace Rocco. A tough job, but he can handle it perfectly!
Casper has been active in several bands like Times Have Changed and Deathfall. Currently he's also active in Stormtroopers of Death tribute band ZOD. We've had some contact with him before when we needed a quick fill-in due to an injury Rocco sustained some time ago. He accepted back then and surprised us by getting it done in almost a week. It turned out not to be necessary since the injury wasn't too bad, but Casper was printed in our minds since than.
We've contacted Casper a couple of weeks ago and had some rehearsals with him. He surprised us again with his playing, but this time also with his enthusiasm in our music. Last week we popped the question and he said yes. So join us in welcoming him to State:Chaos!!

It's been some time now that Rocco informed us officially of leaving State:Chaos and we've never even commented on this. Yes, we've had some talks together with Rocco about him leaving and understand his point of view, but haven't reacted publically. Reason? Very simple.... how the hell do you react on a true friend leaving with whom you've had a great time during 5 years and realize you can't do that anymore??
So... instead of posting some quotes or whatever we've decided to do one more show with Rocco and make a hell of a party of it!!! The show at Skullyfest in November will be our "Goodbye Rocco" show in which we will blast the hell out of you folks as if it was our last. So, make sure to be there!!
