State:Chaos was founded in the beginning of 2006 by Mischa (guitar) with the intention to make no-nonsense thrash metal that touches everybody. With Martijn (drums), Maurice (bass) and a few months later Remco (vocals) and ex-Callenish Circle member Rocco (guitar) a solid line-up is a fact. Still in 2006 State:Chaos overwhelms the audience for the first time live, and by the end of the year with their MCD “Ashes Of Misery” recorded at the Dutch Toneshed Studios with Mangled producer Erwin Hermsen.

Receiving very promising reviews of both “Ashes Of Misery” and their very energetic and convincing live shows, State:Chaos manages to rise up from the masses in the genre and builds up a solid name doing shows at large outdoor festivals and as support for bands like Impious and Callenish Circle. Creating a seamless connection between old-school Bay-area thrash and the modern melodic Scandinavian thrash/death metal, the band quickly moves from support-act to headliner.

During the recordings of their first full length album “Chaos || Pain || Despair”, State:Chaos signs with the Doomstar booking agency in early 2009. Their debut album, recorded at the PITstudios and mixed by Jochem Jacobs (Textures), shows that State:Chaos has grown into a band to be reckoned with and that they are hungry for more!
