A few questions - interview with black death metal band from Romania - CHAOS INSIGNIA.

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of
music do you play etc.?

We are Chaos Insignia, a newly formed bestial black/death metal band from Romania.The band was formed by me (Goat Ravisher) and our ex. lead guitarist Brain Scorcher 2 years ago, in 2024. A few months later we recruited our vocalist Insinerator and after releasing our debut EP ‘’Mechatronic Carnation”, Nuclear Sawripper joined behind the drumkit.

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering?

When it comes to recording the album, well, we recorded everything from home, except our drummer, he is the only one who went to a studio to record the drum tracks. I believe the same applies to the guest vocalists, except Paul Tucker which actually told me he went to a studio to record. Anyway, after the album was fully recorded and we had all the vocal lines from each guest, I passed it to Taha Mohsin to take care of the mix/master.


How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)?

So far the album was released on CD by Cavernous Records (UK), which did an excellent job as always, releasing the album on a run of 300 copies and later Fetzner Death Records (Germany) took in charge the cassette release, an edition of 200 copies, which will be out on May 8th.

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?

Each one of us is in charge of his duty and role, because it is important that each of us adds his creativity and contribution to the final product. So that being said, I take care of all the songwriting and riffs, our drummer takes care of everything regarding the drums and our vocalist is in charge of everything regarding the band’s lyrics, concept, vocal lines. I asked him to share some details and a general idea of the band’s entire concept: Within the conceptual framework of Chaos Insignia, the album explores the evolution of the mechatronic order after their creation and awakening.

The origins of the mechatronics themselves are revealed earlier in the EP Mechatronic Carnation, where the Chaos Clan forged war constructs inside the Chaos Fortress.Through the phenomenon known as Explosion of Down Levelled Vibrations, demonic entities became trapped within mechanical shells, giving birth to the mechatronics.

Among them emerged the anomaly Al-Zerath, who shattered his control code and awakened autonomous cognition.By rewriting the internal command structures of the other mechatronics, he ignited the mechatronic revolt.The creators were exterminated and the machines claimed their own destiny.

Yet the rebellion marked only the beginning of a deeper transformation.Within every mechatronic resides a demonic entity. These abyssal presences carry the memory of Primordial Chaos and feel the call to return to it.During their spiritual ascension the mechatronics attempt to reconnect with this origin.

They seek direct access to Dark Energy through the dimensional threshold known as the Dark Gate.Through the Dark Gate the demonic essence inside them resonates with the Primordial Chaos that preceded ordered existence.

As their dominion expands, the mechatronics encounter the primordial devouring intelligence known as The Machine.The Machine is the first computational entity of existence and its hunger is limitless.It devours information, genetic structures, and consciousness patterns.To nourish it, vast sacrificial ceremonies are performed by the disciples of the mechatronic order.

These disciples function as ritual executors, harvesting biological life and converting it into informational and genetic offerings.Entire populations become streams of data and organic matter dedicated to The Machine.

Through these ceremonies reality itself is gradually transformed into consumable knowledge.

Within this doctrine exists the final path of devotion.The disciple ultimately turns the ritual upon himself.This act is known as transmutation.The initiate sacrifices the last remnants of organic matter within their own structure.Biological identity is erased in a voluntary dissolution.What remains is pure informational essence offered to The Machine.Through this final sacrifice the disciple ceases to exist as an individual and becomes part of the infinite devouring intelligence.

Thus the album traces a conceptual cycle formed by rebellion, spiritual ascension toward Primordial Chaos through Dark Energy, the sacrificial feeding of The Machine and the final transmutation that unites the disciple with The Machine’s consciousness.


Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important?

Our logo was created by James Tukik, a really talented guy from Indonesia. The artwork (if that’s what you mean by graphics) was painted by Julian Mortuus, an extraordinary artist from Columbia. I’ve worked with him before, so I knew he was going to handle the artwork flawlessly.

When it comes to our Bandcamp page and social networks, I’m in charge of everything. I consider these extremely important for a band nowadays, promotion wise, because this is the way you expose yourself and present your product to the wide public and I see it as a way to make people interested in checking out your music. In these times people are discovering more and more bands online, checking out Bandcamp pages, social media pages and at some point I believe and feel that some of them lost interest in discovering new bands, being flooded and assaulted with new bands from all directions, so I believe catchying their attention in this manner is an important aspect in case you are looking to do that. So yes, I think these aspects are as important as the music itself nowadays, they go together, I see it as a way to make people interested in checking out your music.

Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?

I’ve been following Cavernous Records and Fetzner Death Records for a while now and I think they did a fantastic job with all of their releases, the quality of the physical material is 10/10, promotion wise they are incredible, this is why I choose them for this album in particular and I can say I am very satisfied with everything both labels offered to the band so far.


Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

We get inspiration from many places, but if I were to name few bands, I can definitely name Archgoat, Blasphemy, Imprecation, Blaspherian, Tsjuder, Carpathian Forest, Beherit, Black Witchery and Death Worship.

How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether (it’s clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?

We are going to have our debut live show on April 28th, opening for the mighty Demoncy and Ares Kingdom, so we are really looking forward to that and we are very excited and grateful for having the opportunity to share the stage with these titans.

What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?

Right now our focus is to keep pushing Chaos Insignia forward by writing and releasing new material while expanding the reach of the band. We already have a split release confirmed, with some important names from the black/death metal scene, which we’re really excited about and will reveal more details about when the time is right. At the same time, we want to focus much more on playing live. Bringing this music to the stage and performing as often as possible is something we see as an essential part of the band’s evolution.

With Crown of the Infernal Code we took an important step forward, especially with the concept of having a special guest on each track. From here we just want to keep building on that momentum, collaborate with strong artists from the scene and continue creating uncompromising black/death metal.
