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!!

Hi, everybody in this humble world out there!

As some of you may already know, I left my bandmates of State:Chaos due to lack of time and the plans to do more shows/tours with the band. For me it is hard to combine my private life and work with the touring like State:Chaos is planning to do.
It was a hard decision for me to make, but talking with the guys about these problems cleared up a lot of questions for both of us. It's also difficult at this time to quit the band because our debut album was just released, and believe me, it is a KILLER album.
For the future I wish them all the best and I will continue to follow and support them.

So Mischa, Maurice, Remco and Richie, kick some ass out there.

Last but not least I want to thank all the people who helped us out in these last 5 years, I won't mention any names 'cause there are too many, haha

Cheers Rocco

We had nothing to report for some time now, desperately waiting to share some information and news. But then the news reaches us all at once, forcing us to share it also all at once...

So, first of all we had a blazing time with the guys from Striker supporting them at De Triangel and 013 last month. A reporter from Dutch metal e-zine "Lords of Metal" was present at both gigs, took some pictures during the gig at 013 and wrote a review about both, wow! Read the review and look at the pictures.

Second, a couple of cool gigs have been added to our schedule. Amongst them are gigs at the Beast In The East festival and the Mosh It Up XVI festival in Germany. Besides those we have the privilege to support Malevolent Creation in April! Just take a look at the gigs schedule.

Last but definitely not the least news... the release of our debut album "Chaos || Pain || Despair" unfortunately has been delayed some more. After some debate with Casket Music they've set the new release date to March 7th.
