Chaosbay unterschreiben bei Metal Blade Records
Metal Blade Records is proud to announce the signing of Berlin, Germany's CHAOSBAY, welcoming one of the most forward-thinking bands in the modern metal landscape to the label's international roster.
To mark the beginning of the partnership, CHAOSBAY have also unleashed EGOSYSTEM, the third standalone single from their forthcoming new album due March 2027.

EGOSYSTEM follows July's How Does It Make You Feel? and September's The Lost Kids, offering another glimpse into the ambitious new direction CHAOSBAY is exploring on their upcoming full-length. The band states, "The idea of the track was to combine the Reggaeton feeling derived from hip hop and NuMetal with catchy metalcore hooks and riffs."
Produced by CHAOSBAY frontman, Jan Listing, the track lifts the term Prog into the 2020s and shows how much genre bending is possible while always keeping it a catchy tune. EGOSYSTEM, like the previously released singles, feature what the band describes as their "soft versions," an approach that explores the more melodic, atmospheric and emotionally nuanced side of metal while retaining the power and identity at the core of CHAOSBAY's sound. The "soft" version of EGOSYSTEM is a groovy indie take on the track; it incorporates themes from other songs with a touch of prog-rock flair, cleverly weaving them into the composition.
Blending progressive metal, metalcore, soaring melodies, crushing riffs and intricate musicianship, CHAOSBAY have steadily developed a distinctive identity within the modern heavy music landscape. Their music is ambitious without sacrificing immediacy, moving seamlessly between technical precision, atmospheric passages, massive hooks and moments of outright aggression. The band has also established itself as a formidable live act, performing at major festivals including Wacken Open Air while sharing stages with acts such as ERRA, Annisokay, Siamese, Vended and Emil Bulls.
Now, with Metal Blade Records behind them, CHAOSBAY are ready to take that evolution even further. "We're incredibly happy to have been signed by such a renowned label as Metal Blade with our new material. A team that knows how to combine the classic roots of the genre with the modern world of metal and create something new from it is a perfect fit for a band like us.
We're really looking forward to everything we'll do together in the future and to all the songs that are still to come. It's an honor to become part of the international heavy music scene, and we'll give everything we have to push our sound forward and redefine what it can be."
With EGOSYSTEM streaming now, CHAOSBAY are offering the latest preview of a record that promises to push the boundaries of their sound. The single and the forthcoming album represent a new chapter for the band, one where melody, atmosphere and vulnerability exist alongside the weight and intensity that have defined CHAOSBAY from the beginning.
CHAOSBAY will continue to build toward the release of their new album with further music and touring planned for 2027. See the band's current live dates below.
