History & Biography
Sydney-based Lord Kaos ruled over Australia with its so-called Symphonic metal beginning in 1994. The group had a drummer to start, but had booted him before the end of the year. A keyboardist was also present at this time. The band’s first show was at Macarthur University of Sydney in May of 1995. The band issued a demo called Path To My Funeral in 1995 and signed with the Warhead label. Its debut was issued a mere two years later. It featured programmed drums. Drummer Nigel Chad joined after the record. Astennu moved to Norway and joined a number of similar bands including Dimmu Borgir. He also operated Carpe Tenebrum with Nagash of said band. Still, he was fired from the band in 1999. He was encouraged to make the move by Metalion of Head Not Found Records who had also attempted to sign the band.

The band fell apart but soon was back when Incubus rejoined. A support tour of Cradle Of Filth took place in 1997 in Australia. The group played the Metal For The Brain festival in 1999, more but split up in 2001.

You know the drill. The band returned in 2023. Singer Marsh left in 2024. Bassist Eddie also left within a year of the reformation. 2024 added JS Decline (Estrangement) and bassist Rob Sakey. Astennu was the sole early member and was also in The Kovenant. There were multiple gigs including one with Cruciform.
