Full Blown Chaos Biography
Full Blown Chaos is a roaring sonic blitzkrieg with more to offer than the tired tough guy mentality!
2004 finds the quartet dishing out their blend of bone-cracking hardcore with puncturing metal on their first full-length album, Wake The Demons. The experience is a bona fide thrill ride of chest-pounding screams from front man and lyricist Ray Mazzola. Add the persuasive guitar megalomania of Mike Facci and grenade-popping drums of brother Jeff Facci. The infernal mix is crowned by the determined and vivacious bass performance of Ed Conroy.
Full Blown Chaos is a strong contender for glory in today's extreme music scene. They have two EPs under their belts, the self-titled EP later released on Jailhouse Records. In 2003, Jailhouse Records and Stillborn Records adopted the New York-based band for the rake-you-over-the-coals Prophet Of Hostility release.
FBC vocalist Ray Mazzola's influences include metal icons Philip Anselmo and Max Cavalera whose inspiration propelled the serendipitous circumstances under which FBC first kicked off their career.
"A couple of years ago, my old band and Full Blown were sharing a rehearsal studio. We did a switch of vocalists and I joined Full Blown because I was as serious as they were. In fact, serious is an understatement! Full Blown Chaos raises the bar as far as most bands go in the realm of touring," Ray explains, "We have very good breeding musically. I was big into hardcore, big into metal, and that goes for the entire band."
Wake The Demons is a testament to Full Blown's prowess for brazen hard-core breakdowns and walls of cringing metal with Slayer-like speed and agility. Bassist Ed Conroy furthers, "Whether we go out with hardcore bands, like Agnostic Front, or metal bands, like Six Feet Under, the crowds give the same reaction."
As a lyricist, Ray matches the musical intensity with fire-starting integrity and describes it as, "We have a song called 'Unlearn.' It's about not having to conform to please other people. Make up your own mind, you don't have to be part of a group to be accepted, I am for unity, but you can be an individual and still be accepted," he sums.
