CHAOSBAY

Chaosbay biography
CHAOSBAY is a progressive metal band from Berlin, Germany founded in 2012 by Jan LISTING (lead vocals, guitars). Currently, the band line-up also includes Alexander LANGNER (guitars), Matthias HEISING (bass) and Patrick BERNATH (drums).

The band released their fully self-made and eponymous EP in late 2012, a second EP Tragedy No.1 in 2015 and their first full-length- and concept-album Vasilisa in December 2015. After a one-year-break, they returned with a new EP Of Cutting Cords in April 2017, celebrated their live comeback with a headliner tour throughout Germany in early 2019 and a new full-length album in 2020 called Asylum. Touring throughout clubs and having hit many stages in their home country during the last seven years, CHAOSBAY had the opportunity to support the well-known German progressive/alternative-acts THE INTERSPHERE, as well as instrumental-progrockers FRAMES and US-stoner-legends CLUTCH. In 2015 they opened for the german Math-Rockers THE HIRSCH EFFEKT on their Agonsie-Tour and had the chance to play the world-known progressive festival EUROBLAST in Cologne alongside with TESSERACT, ANIMALS AS LEADERS, MONUMENTS and many more.

Meticulously working on their energetic and virtuoso live-shows, their songs tend to exceed the limits of conventional lenghts and structures, leading to a new architecture of sound, inspired by classical music, pop and metal genres. The band has always strived to combine complex song structures with heaviness and catchy melodies, led by outstanding and wide-ranging lead vocals.
