Formed in 2019 by French multi-instrumentalist Stéphanie Nolf (Unsafe, Syrinx), CHAOS RISING is a unique concept that brings together the best female metal musicians from across the globe. Our aim is to showcase women’s talents and fill the gaps in which women are underrepresented in metal. The ambitious model has so far resulted in twenty singles/video releases, spanning metal subgenres, and featuring musicians from thirty-six countries, including some of the biggest names in metal.
“The Singles” is a double album, with one brutal side (The Singles for the Head) and one melodic (The Singles for the Heart) – this makes it a completely unique concept that demonstrates the evolution of our sound and the richness of metal music. The lyrics are written by various Chaos Rising members, usually (but not always) by the song’s vocalist. Therefore their themes vary, reflecting the wide range of our musicians’ experiences.
