Divine Chaos release their crushing new single ‘Condemned To The Void’. Taken from their forthcoming album ‘Hate Reactor’, out 27th March.
“Condemned to the Void is a stream-of-consciousness study of grief in real time, written and
recorded in the aftermath of genuine personal tragedy and loss. Part lament, part salute to the
honoured fallen, the track builds to a theme of hopeful determination to move forward with respect to
the departed and in appreciation of those who remain.” – Divine Chaos
From their debut release “Every Empire Shall Fall”, Divine Chaos carved out a distinctive identity, an unrelenting 7-string thrash assault that drew from the riff-driven roots of the ‘80s while absorbing the aggression and technicality of the modern era. Guitarists Chris O’Toole and Matt Gilmour cemented the band’s reputation for razor-sharp precision, propelling them to global stages and high-profile festival slots including Bloodstock Open Air.
Building momentum, the band unleashed their first full-length album “A New Dawn in the Age of War” with producer Scott Atkins, pushing technical boundaries and expanding their creative scope while staying firmly rooted in thrash. The release received widespread acclaim, earning full-page features across the UK metal press, from Metal Hammer to The Guardian and seeing its lead single “Fields of the Fallen” amass more than 96,000 views. Subsequent tours with metal icons such as Mantas & Abandon (Venom Inc) and Gama Bomb, plus festival appearances at Metal Mine, Gothoom, and additional Bloodstock slots, further solidified the band’s ascent.
After time away from the studio, Divine Chaos returned reinvigorated with new vocalist Jut Tabor (Furyborn/Metaprism), whose pitched vocals and sharpened aggression made their mark on “The Way To Oblivion”. Joining him was bassist Craig Daws (Sacred Mother Tongue, Andy James), completing the lineup that powered a triumphant main stage comeback at Bloodstock 2021. Singles “Murder For Sale”, featured on Spotify’s Thrashers playlist and “Serpent’s Words,” which surpassed 108,000 streams, reignited demand from both veterans of the DC fanbase and new listeners from the UK live circuit, where they reunited with audiences during their support run with Evile in 2022.
Now, with “Hate Reactor”, Divine Chaos refine and elevate every facet of their sound. Returning to work with producer Scott Atkins, where they spent a month sculpting their best work to date. After the band and Atkins were finished producing the record, they sent the album on to Chris Clancy [Machine Head, Architects + more], to mix and master. The band credit both Atkins and Clancy for their valuable input on “Hate Reactor”.
The album showcases heightened focus, devastating hooks, and a richer vocal landscape, all while preserving the band’s foundational ethos. It is a fierce, sharpened statement from a group who continue to push the boundaries of modern thrash while honouring the genre’s legacy.
