Order of Chaos (US)

Allan "Nasty" Starnes- Vocals

Josh- Guitar

Mims- Bass

Matt- Drums

Order of Chaos was formed when four different musical influences came together in an experiment to create something that has not been created before. To become similar to many different sounds, but not the same as any one sound. The music is delivered from a brew of many styles and influences. The classic bluesy guitar style of Josh, heavy metal double kick of Matt, full and tight bass runs from Mims layered with the dark, melodic, modern influences of Allan "Nasty" Starnes has stirred the air to create a self-titled sound called "southern melodic groove metal."

With the purpose of evolving a new sound that satisfies music connoisseurs that possess many tastes within the musical spectrum, Order of Chaos and their unique sound were formed. Since the evolution of their music has been warmly embraced, the sound will continue to contort into something that is similar to many sounds, but not the same as any one sound. Separately these musicians have traveled the east coast and reached the opposite shore of the California coast line in the pursuit of music all before coming together to form the band.

Their first full-length CD release in April of 2006 came with a plug in the national Mix Magazine and southeastern based Performer magazine.

This along with some local press through 106.5 The End and Creative Loafing means the journey is now beginning at a rapid pace. With family connections from Nashville's Grand Ole Opera stage to a Roadrunner Records artist the band members have professional influences very close by to help guide the band to the next level. These developed, well-rehearsed, well-seasoned performers are out for the holy grail of the music business; full support of a major label.

This biography is one of a starting journey, however, beginning at a level where most with a rocknroll dream never reach. The members have enjoyed touring, sold out clubs, local media attention, regional media attention, national media mentions, regional radio play, showcase appearances, promotional company involvement, some music awards, many recording sessions, and recording with regional Emmy award-winning producer Rob Tavaglione. With these experiences and many others in past successes the guys are now ready to grow again, to take another step, but this time as a group that will not stop until absolute success is reached.

Attending an Order of Chaos show is never disappointing, and no matter what music interest a listener is drawn to, their stage presence cannot be denied. They fill the stage with energy, personality, movement and are performers and that transcend the spectra of their sound. Order of Chaos is the new band on the block, not just playing music, not just another band among the many, but rather a package that will journey quickly through the ranks to leave a long lasting mark on the music scene.
