Tracklist:
01. Passion Aggression (feat. Brandon Walker) (34:29)

“Chaosmonaut was born out of a desire to eschew the trappings of the typical rigid band song writing process and instead commit to capturing the zeitgeist of each set individually. Using tools from jazz, doom, noise, drone, each performance is written to capture a singular idea, be performed a single time, and discarded as a testament to that moment before starting over again.”

Chaosmonaut is a doom metal band from Boise, Idaho, committed to incorporating musical influences ranging from classic doom to anything and everything else including jazz, opera, and classic progressive rock acts such as Yes. Each member brings a diverse and unique musical history that is blended together in the band context to make a truly unique sound. The album »Passion Aggression« follows theme of the intrinsic need to create artistic pieces in opposition to all the forces trying to convince creatives that art is meaningless, fake, or trivial. Each member’s passion and experience is celebrated and explored within the 35 minute expression of love for art. Pulling from a myriad of influences, this track ranges between doom metal, black metal, psychedelic and progressive rock.

»Passion Aggression« is the first studio recording from Chaosmonaut. This is also the first piece of music with the current line-up which added a new vocalist and a second drummer. As it is one song over 30 minutes long, they are trying to show that music does not need to be limited to a narrow, genre-defined structure and can explore various territories and still have a cohesive sound. If nothing else, this should be a unique listening experience, the culmination of an expanding number of influences into a singular expression of emotion and art.
