Chaos Motion are not for everyone. If you think you enjoy this kind of technical death metal, you’ll be forced to rethink your judgement. This is ultra-complicated but meticulously and deliberately written. It’ll start making sense albeit after a few dozen spins. Metal Injection featured this band in their tech death column premiering a new song AT THIS LINK.
“Stylistically, “Unscrupulousness Resolution”, like much the rest of the album, takes the loose and freaky format of Gorguts-era Obscura, and, filters it through a modern finessed lens aided by absurd technicality and brutal edged spurts that combines the best of what Baring Teeth and Wormed have accomplished in the post-Obscura era”

Chaos Motion are turning the technical death metal genre inside out. There’s little conformity to the style as we know it and it’s all for the better. There needed to be something actually challenging that made us sit up and take notice, and this is it. There’s nothing immediately catchy or memorable here. You will have to take effort to try and decipher the mind-boggling riffs and myriad patterns that this strange, otherworldly album is packed with. At just over 40 minutes, this will seem like an eternity to get through – and that can only be a compliment because there’s just so much happening at all times. This album won’t get old fast. This is one ugly, mysterious, gut-wrenching album that will befuddle listeners time and again, and they will keep coming back to it to learn some more. Each listen will reward them with something new, something hitherto unnoticed. Mastered by Colin Marston of Gorguts, this debut full length by Chaos Motion is reminiscent of their infamous ‘Obscura’ album and other notorious ones by bands like Portal, Origin, Wormed, (early) Cephalic Carnage and even Wicked Innocence (circa ‘Omnipotence’).
