Chaos Divine - The Living Years (Mike + The Mechanics Cover)

Описание: After just over 20 years, four albums, one EP, a live album, three cover singles, countless shows and a shitload of good times we’ve made the difficult decision to call it a day. A wise man once said “go hard or go home”, and with various other commitments making it increasingly difficult for members to give Chaos the time and attention it deserves, we feel that now is the time to hang up the boots.

But before we go, we offer this parting gift - our cover of Mike + The Mechanics’ 80s classic The Living Years. This song holds a special place in our hearts, making it the perfect way to celebrate and reflect on the band’s twenty-year journey.

At the end of the day, we’re immensely proud of everything that we’ve achieved, and we’re extremely grateful to a long list of people that have been a part of our journey at various points along the way. They include:

Ben Mazzarol and Chris Mitchell – both monster skin smashers who left their mark across all of our albums up until Legacies when Tim took over.
Kris Beard – our unofficial tour manager of many years who helped organise our useless arses on so many occasions, usually at the expense of his sanity and his bank account.
Josh Terlick – our booking agent who has the patience of a saint.
Eli Chamravi and Tim Charles – past booking agents.
Forrester Savell, Brody Simpson, Troy Nababan, Jens Bogren and Jarrad Hearman – producers and engineers who were all integral in helping to shape our sound.
All the bands and promotors we’ve worked with and shared the stage with. We’ve met some unreal musos over the years and been lucky enough to play with some of the biggest metal bands on the planet. These are memories we’ll cherish forever.
Most importantly though, to you - our fans. We’ve made a hell of a lot of friends along the way, and never in a million years did we expect to make the kind of impact that would lead some of you to wear it on your skin for life. The support from all of you has meant the world to us and it’s an honour to call you our friends.

You can still find our music on regular channels such as Youtube, Spotify and iTunes, and our Bandcamp merch store will stay open for those of you who want to keep reppin' Chaos hardware.

Cheers everyone, here's to two decades of Chaos.

Stay safe, stay true, and stay metal.

Ryan, Sim, Mike, Tim and Dave
