Interviews: Infected Chaos

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Death Metal band Infected Chaos from Austria. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you plan it or come out just like that?

Infected Chaos was founded after the split of the former band called "Chaosreign“. So the word "Chaos“ shall remind us of the roots where all this came from and "Infected“ came by chance. There is no deeper meaning behind it. 

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

Because it's awesome! And by our interpretation of Death or Extreme Metal, there are no boundaries and limits. So we can develop our sound just as we want.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

We all were friends and shared the stage while acting in different bands long before Infected Chaos was founded. Except for our drummer who is a lot younger than the rest of us. We found him in an ad we placed in our local newspaper and do not want to miss this great guy since then. It harmonized from the beginning! 

4. Each band member's favorite band?

We cannot pick any specific bands here as it always depends on the mood everybody is into. For everybody, it has a huge range from Classic Rock to old-school metal to really extreme stuff in the Death and Black Metal scene. There are also influences from beyond the rock genre as well, talking about movie scores for example.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

It ́is the energy we create when we are together. We're just trying to be creative and the result is the sound we make. Lyrically there are many influences from personal life, global problems, the sickness of humanity, psychological stuff, nature, and so on. For the next album we are planning to do something out of the box, so keep an eye on us.

6. Where was your last gig?

When you read these lines we will just be back from Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic. There is a small but fine club there and the local scene is just going nuts on metal! We played there already some years ago but unfortunately, this will have been the last gig ever there... Eternal Hails to our friend Farář Hellvicar for making this possible!

7. Where would you like to act?

We love to play whenever wherever. Nothing can compare to going and stage and freaking out. The Party. San Festival in Germany would be something that we'd like to achieve.

8. Whom would you like to feature with?

Too many. It would take hours to answer this one. There are so many great acts out there. We already opened live for the legendary Possessed! Really cool guys. Everyone we performed with so far was absolutely formidable people. Hopefully, this streak lasts.

9. Whom not?

Nazis!

10. Have any of you ever suffered from stage fright? Any tips for beginners on how to beat that?

No. We know how hard we rehearsed and that we are always ready to go on stage. That was never a problem for us. Maybe this will come when we play bigger venues, who knows?

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

Again way too many to mention. Everybody has his own influences here. We combine this as everybody contributes equally to the songs and the result is Infected Chaos. We do not start working on songs thinking for ourselves "Oh, come on, this one should sound like band A with a bit of band B in the Chorus“ or something like that. That wouldn ́t work for us.

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?

One time somebody wanted to lick our singer's bald and sweaty head after the gig because he thought it would grant him luck. That's the weirdest we can remember.

13. What do you think of your fans?

Great and chaotic people! It's always fun to talk and drink with these supporters! This Cheers goes out to you!!

14. What do you think of our site?

It is a cool and very informative platform to discover new stuff. We especially like this Track by Track thing as it gives you great insight into what the artists inspired and what was their intention behind the songs. Keep up the great work! 

15. Something to add?

Thanks for your support and the interview! Metal on!!! See you on the road!
