Kaoteon is a Death Metal band, based between Dubai and the Netherlands, officially formed in 1998.

Biography

Kaoteon is an extreme metal band with origins in the devastated Middle East, with a sound blending a brutally dark atmosphere with riffs that range from anthemic post-rock to oriental/Middle Eastern folklore and incendiary lyrics driven by the band’s background in turbulent Beirut, Lebanon. The band was formed as a one-man project in 1998/1999 by Anthony Kaoteon and joined later on by vocalist Walid Wolflust under the name Chaotaeon (from the merger of Chaotic and Aeon). They were forced to change their name after an incident with the authorities in which they got arrested. The police thought that Chaotaeon was the translation of devils from Arabic, members were locked down by the cops for days and went into heavy investigation which led to false accusations that the band is satanic.

Kaoteon has released their latest album "Damnatio Memoriae" on the 23rd of February that featured Frederick on drums (Marduk) and Linus on bass (Obscura).

On the 24th of February the band performed at Complexity festival with The Faceless and Sikth... and were joined by Simon Schillon from Belphegor on drums.

11th of June Kaoteon were awarded the "Global Metal" award by Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards 2018.
