Amid the turbulent backdrop of the Corona crisis, Infected Chaos, a band spanning two nations divided by impassable borders, seized the chance to channel their creative energy into this remarkable EP. The compact format of the EP allowed them to maintain their artistic momentum during a period when conventional activities were rendered impossible.

The band's journey from a mere stopgap to a monumental prologue is vividly portrayed in "Conjuration Overture – Vanity is Dawning." Crafting this EP became a necessity as the global pandemic disrupted their regular rehearsals, due to the stringent border closures.

Reflecting on the EP, Infected Chaos reveals, "As CoVid was raging across the globe, we started working on the successor of Dead Aesthetics. The pandemic made it almost impossible for us to rehearse regularly due to the closed borders, so we decided to do something more compact and ended up composing an EP. At that point, we didn't know it would only be the overture to something huge."

This EP is a sonic amalgamation of their diverse influences, ranging from Classic Rock to Extreme Metal, flowing seamlessly into three brand-new songs: "Tehom," "Vanity is Dawning," and "Come Eventide, Come Evenfall." The haunting track "People of Ash," slightly older but rich with gloom and prophetic lyrics, found its perfect home on "Conjuration Overture – Vanity is Dawning."

Of special note, the song "Vanity is Dawning" serves as the prologue to their upcoming concept album, set 20 years before the harrowing tale of death, desperation, heresy, and devastation unfolds. This EP was recorded & mixed by Matt Mayr at DC-Records and mastered by Sergej at Walzwerkstudios.

In 2013, five seasoned musicians from Tyrol and Allgäu united to explore the extremes of metal, forging a unique style characterized by melody, aggression, and modern elements. Their debut album, "The Wake of Ares," recorded at Iguana Studios in 2015, garnered international acclaim, showcasing the band's early potential.

The band continued its ascent in 2017 with the release of "Killing Creator," a complex and nuanced offering that marked their growth in sound and songwriting.

Infected Chaos relentlessly toured central Europe, gracing countless club gigs and festivals, including Metal Days, Winterdays of Metal, and Aaargh! Their journey formed new alliances while also witnessing the toll of casualties along the way.

Through tumultuous years, Infected Chaos persevered, navigating the challenges posed by CoVid, and delivered their third album, "Dead Aesthetics," in 2021, proving that surrender is never an option.
