Artists

The Chaos Agent have an explosive and energetic presence. When these guys hit the stage, the mood goes from party to pandemonium; zero to sixty – in one second. The vibe in the venue literally changes the moment they hit the stage. Taking in a show is an intense experience of high energy that mixes a perfect variation of heavy rock riffs with melodic, intensely catchy vocals. This gives the band a signature sound that, hands down, puts these guys in a league of their own. The Chaos Agent has made a huge dent in the Southwest Florida Music scene collectively as a band. Each member brings a plethora of experience and talent to the forefront, which has contributed greatly to their almost immediate recognition and success in the region. They have an impressive fan base locally, packing venues from front to back. The band gains an ever increasing amount of support each time they hit a new club or theater. Having commercial radio support from local South Florida stations along with plenty of internet chatter, this has been a major accomplishment for them so early in their career. Away-Team.com heralded The Chaos Agent with a shining review of a pre-release version of their E.P. saying, “…It’s not hard to imagine The Chaos Agent being played right next to your Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace favorites on every station on the planet! I detect a huge hit for sure….” The Chaos Agent has worked with well known and seasoned producer Paul Trust (Diecast, Atom Smash, ect..) for their upcoming release with Bellaphon Records. They are currently working with producer Matt LaPlant of Bieler Bros. Studios (Skindred, Barry Gibb, Methods Of Mayhem, ect.) for future releases. The Chaos Agent has shared stages with well known bands such as Skindred, Stabbing Westward, Flaw, Bullet Boys, Ventana,and many others. They have also played an eclectic mix of shows including the Miami Music Festival.

“Society 1 captures the essence of abuse, overkill and ultimate inspiration…”

One of the many quotes that describe what Society 1 has become since their inception. Love or hate what Society 1 stand for, no one can argue with the controversial recognition of this band. They have pushed limits that didn’t even exist in terms of their live body suspension performances. They have blurred the lines of music credibility versus sexual exploration. At one point within the bands career lead singer Matt “The Lord” Zane created an entire philosophy based on his lyrical messages which ultimately lead to him publishing the book “Doctrines of the Infernal Process”.

This band is not ordinary. Society 1 isn’t just about music. To look at them as just a band would mean to deny what they actually are, a social experience and cult art statement. This forces one to consider the possibility that a band, on rare occasions, can be much more than four guys playing music.

After such infamous accomplishments there would seem to be nothing left to prove or in Society 1 terms, nothing left to pervert and destroy. After a five year hiatus and some reflection on the ruins left in the past Society 1 agree. The band has resurfaced with a new sound and image finally focused on the one thing that seemed to always be an afterthought….the music.

For the first time in the bands sordid career they let go of their kill or be killed mentality and welcome people to hear a more intimate and honest aspect of their existence. The depth of the new album “A Journey From Exile” will bring the listener on a journey that one would never expect especially from a band steeped in endless controversy such as Society 1
