“Introduction to Self Destruction” Start me off 1st Give me a chance To fall flat on My imperfect face Blend me in with The homeless population I have the spine of A disabled elderly I’m in survival mode I’ll take your money While hardly working I’ll blow the game I fumble the ball A clumsy defect You finally hired me The first day I’m late Constant mistakes You should fire me I try sometimes And I’m likeable Until I screw up Costing you money My first impression rules You accept me on the team Years of experience I know I’m a liability Introduction to self destruction Inhale the toxic effect I bring to the table I am so negative because of my true resume I do not think I can overcome my history, but I’ll try If I destruct, I can lose it all Pressure is not my best suit Taste the scars The wound is ripe Digest the risk I want to win Wake up Life is short Try again Until it sticks I’m inconsistent Due to injuries I implode before I act Can I beat my malfunctions? Will I outlive my expectations I come with good intentions I’ll try not to think negative Maybe with the right perception This could be a new home for me Thank you for the opportunity

"Corporate Scapegoat" (The Epidemic Pt2) Preaching to doctors Force-fed down our throats Commission off addiction This is a catch 22 blackballing those in need Crippled & Addicted We blame the sales team We need a product Some would rather die without a drug Slamming the Criminals Those who have ruined bliss Draw the line, eliminating comfort The Epidemic Part 2 Continues Fabricated lies profit from an overdose You are the key Assistance is required Guilty as Charged I accept demise A Chronic Victim Drowning without rescue Fuel to the fire Is avoiding the signs Stop pushing us out the window Corporate Scapegoat Research and Develop a Better world (chorus 2- 2nd part) Corporate Scapegoat Are you a killer? profiting off of the injured Will we receive Something for our suffering? America the prison of Pain (bridge 2) Selfish Corruption The Verdict is Guilty We Overthrow you Let someone else cure the pain!!! Caution will always search for relief. I really hope we win the war on Pain. we are losing unlike yesterday Not in the year 2019. COVID has got you beat mother fu***!!!

The Coward 04:17
“The Coward” You were a good person You fought the bad You can be ugly inside Sometimes a Coward Does anyone trust you You will share a secret False hope keeps me alive Its only a matter of time This love is not love anymore I stop procrastinating The change needs to save Does the Coward deserve me? I am the good guy I live in a dark box Surrounded by walls of black You have betrayed me More time then I can count On one hand In our team you are the chief I should fire you in a heartbeat I am the one who is right You are the one who is wrong The Coward attempts the balance The Coward is not loyal The Coward will disagree The Coward battles for selfishness Have I had enough for one life? Only time and effort determines Wondering in repeat circles Contemplating escape letters Trauma makes this more difficult I love someone who is not what I want Nothing will ever be satisfaction I need a stable foundation rebuilt Her smile steals my life Her face is too warm to touch for me I need a change and regain of control False hope keeps me alive Its only a matter of time You are not what I want! (says the thought to its self) (Through bad times this is how it can be perceived in a negative light) We love what we hate and opposites can attract and keep the balance sometimes) The Coward is not always a coward but in moments of selfishness can act as though.

"Wear the Snake" Taste the venom!!!! Why live in fear own fear itself Start slithering Taste the jungle Burn the Rainbow Form a cult Awake the demon Welcome to the Kingdom So close, so far from the truth Don’t wear it! Branch out of comfort Building walls with palms of our hands-on fire Why train with guns when our minds can corrupt Look at them Competing We need to claim What is ours Welcome to your new bed sleeping with the enemy inside of you Fantasize your bulletproof Satisfied no matter what they throw at you Wear the Snake! Taste the venom Embrace nature's peace Fear is Erased Dance with all attractive Be the one who conquers Stick a fork in the weak Bury the life that betrayed you Pound the whore with Ammo Her wounds could use a pummeling Blast the past with Napalm Your new self is reborn Wear the Snake around your neck You can taste the venom Wear the Snake Play the enemies Scar the Opponents Shame the Guilty Taste the Venom!

“Chasing all Extremities” In a castle looking downward I watch black birds shit on apples Cob webs cover me as a mask My Skeletons appear on posted memes Plastic Minds, copycats resume temporarily Millenniums surpassed our expertise Chasing all Extremities Technology a new language Battered woman are the crippled Equal living screaming backwards Sanded paper scratched faces Oiled screens lubricate wisdom Checkered dresses optical illusions A cannabinoid acceptance, a legal self-destruction I can’t keep up with today What is this new technology? Constant over progression I think it’s time to retire, I WANT OUT! Obsolete for my generation Everyone is a winner now I am chasing all extremities Im practically in a wheel chair I can’t follow what I cannot see I can’t comprehend another language beyond me Tie! me ! down! bury me before I drown out loud Cash means nothing, a tip is bullshit Digits, ratings and simple surveys mean everything to your well-being and existence!!! Drugs are downloaded, and a high is virtual Cameras are everywhere, someone is always listening and watching on Is this the American future? I missed the fucking boat Or is this the New Survival of Robotic Prison programmed human. I think our generation has fallen off the cliff willingly I refuse to keep up with this This will backfire on us Constant programming of robotics Self-driving cars will kill us all Obsolete for my perception Everyone is now weakling We rely on something with A shield that can be hacked I’m chasing this for nothing!!!! Chasing all extreme.... Why am I chasing something that I think will cause us extinction one day I really hope I can tolerate what is next for humanity… My time has come and gone and I wasted it chasing all extremities

“I'm Catatonic” I am the one who waits the most Sleeping it off because I cope, I am catatonic Life goes on even if your dead A comatose to the messenger, I am Catatonic I am sick of living in a fantasy land I want everything a dying person wish they could have I am losing marbles from the sanity jar I give it all up just so I can escape (verse 2) Walking a path to a world we love Changing the past mechanically, I am catatonic Impossibilities seem so hard to grasp If I could move, I would be active, still I am a catatonic Every day is new, I feel unglued Instant failed attempts Dropping valuables Blessed by corruption I disturb the morbid I complain too much, I miss control I wait for a chance To achieve impossible Don’t you ruin the hope that’s left This can’t be the end of me. I believe a new discovery Could save me and my defeat I am Catatonic!! (Song is about being paralyzed by fear after severe trauma in this modern society that is holding us back to the nothingness we face. There is always hope but for now i feel...catatonic...metaphorically

"Forward Progress Blindfolded" We are alone Pressurize the wound that bleeds Pass the test of wind Hold us back, restraints in place Plagiarize, a suicide We let go of the steering wheel This Is a joke We advertise own the copyright All Rights reserved The weight will push you down and paralyze the domino effect consumes our every fear Nerve damage hurts the more you strain it Opponents cut us off as we lose the race Change the game, walk with me feed off of crowds, Enhance the Virus Forward progress IN a warzone Forward progress Is Blindfolded Forward progress, but all we see is black Forward progress, the path will drift ashore, for all of us Forward progress, so close, so far away Forward progress, we slide across the ice, not by choice we will wonder under cover, over under torn asunder We are beasts turn the page of time A charred example we burn alive Can I feel my crippled bones? I did not see it coming Blinded by the cataracts I did not see it coming Channels changing without remotes Always pushing forward Always gaining speed Constant noise interferes Constant failures appear Life throws knuckles Glass face shattering Simplistic beatings I can win or lose as long as I Progress upwards Pull the trigger I need a close call To smell the coffee My reign was chaos morphed into mental sickness Forward Progress is Blindfolded!!!

“A Contradiction Specialist” Open the box A clown will appear Try not to laugh Is this a test of my sanity? We try to agree When it benefits both As said as it seems She still goes against me. I have tried with a contradiction specialist taking notes gathering proof of a contradiction Who are you? Why be a hypocrite? Why towards me? I thought I was your fucking soulmate Going back on your word Going against your belief Is what I hear from you A multiple personality (disorder) You claim your perception Someone helps hear it different I am non-confrontational But you have built up my anxiety I don’t care if you turn on a friend I do care when you lie and exaggerate What I want might be impossible Is it possible to live free again? Walking off the plank to the sea Looking down at my reflection This man deserves the truth She is a professional She should front a con Is she a witch? Why do I put up with this? As time goes by, I am poisoned Give me a better reason to leave One-way does not cut it Stop changing your perception Stop betraying our existence You are a contradiction specialist Stop going back on your word I would like to be with a good person. You are just a contradiction specialist

Apocalypse 03:26
"Apocalypse" We walk in fear of all 6 feet apart from you Stir up the crazy guys Soon it will blow apart I see that change has arrived A future wearing masks Since the pandemic began I diagnose this the Apocalypse Biological end of truth This is a new depression We walk in fear of another Social distance is 6 feet Crime is about to launch Can we win and resume the old? (Chorus) The world panics Millions will die What is The Aftermath? (this is the Apocalypse) Every Man for himself COVID 19 rules us all Some people work from home Until they are told Food, drugs and essential products Are still available The Apocalypse riots form violent protests We will never be the same again This is only the 1st Chapter of the Apocalypse…. One life to live for one another still This is only the 1st Chapter of the Apocalypse…. Lets get out of this alive…..and make sure it never comes back to bite.

Before I Die 06:09
"Before I Die" I call out my past? Can you believe me? Am I Alive? What is real? The fear is still strong Before I die I want to be satisfied (prechorus) Where will I live? Would it even matter? It’s me vs the world I’m hanging from a rope So much has past so much regret Time’s is an adversary We age so rapidly The effort is hard (heavy verse) My time has run out I hear it haunting in my sleep Telling me how to die The weakness has grown I know my time has passed I better live the life that’s left Before I die, I need a 2nd chance Before I die, so I can fix my regrets I know its hard in my condition I slave away with a (imprisoned) system against me Before I die, I have a bucket list Before I die, I choose to be reborn (Post chorus) my fate is being constructed… If everyone smiles then the world is a playground (not a battleground) I want to be high, a threshold of ecstasy This is my last chance to live the extreme If I lose control, I return to darkness, A joke My heart is made of gold and its thick, (Somehow) I am wasting & worthless I cannot accept it One life to live One life to die One life to try I just want to be satisfied before I die!!!

“Sadistic Pressure Enhancement” Demolition Is a release The beast is roaring craving hostility sadistic pressure Jumping bridge Pressure heavy Walls crash around A new found ground zero Just look you’ll see My face is beat red I’m dying Slowly, torturous Blasting buildings Demolition Construction of my life Is ascending then falling. (prechorus) Every day I try again Repeat the cycle Dancing with the man on top I become stronger I shrink in size Sadistic pressure enhancement Ignite the fire Sadistic pressure enhancement Forced to focus Enough of …the same old shit When will… I accept dominance Self examine Dancing for the man and to survive (Pushing me to self destruction) (I cannot predict Will I ever Win?) This time I won Relief is survival Pleasure is easier I blame choices Accept the defeat Dream the retreat

about

2020 has been a terrible year because of this beast of a pandemic we all have to face. Bands are not touring at this time and all events have been laid to rest for now. Kaos Reign has always been a very active band and for the past year went through a bit of a lineup change as well as a relocation from Connecticut to Virginia and then back to Connecticut. This is a long story we will not discuss in detail.
We brought in some new blood and recruited Kevin G on Drums for our 5th full album release this time around. We started writing and rehearsing late 2019 and into 2020. The creative juices never stopped flowing and the wheels kept turning. Frontman/Guitar/Vocals Bill Kaos kept the energizer bunny on the tracks and wrote some songs that reflected within this moment in time through struggle, defeat, another back surgery recovery and further issues that fueled the beast this album has become. Everybody in the band stepped up their game and dug in strong on this one. Kevin G on Drums brought his own unique style to the mix that added a fresh spark to a new level. Mateo returned on Bass giving it his all and low end flavor of beef.
For a 5th full length album we needed to step outside the boundaries a little and try a few new things as well as stick to a signature groove and thrash metal style that started the intention of what this band is and what it can be. The outcome speaks form itself and is right here titled "Corporate Scapegoat". We have some full on thrash tunes, some groove metal, some gritty emotion, progression and we even have some melodic parts this time around that of course are complimented by the power, doom, & screaming by Bill Kaos symbolizing severe pain along with pure electric nerve damage and you can taste the suffering within every song. The riffs and the blasts are still as strong as ever. Experienced metal song writing at its finest.
Kaos Reign has always been a do it yourself recorded band and that is what we did once again with Bill taking the lead handling the tracking, engineering, producing and main structured writing along with Kevin. What you are getting is true real metal played the way it should be and sounding real. No sampled junk.Just heavy extreme metal with groove and thrash progressed once again for a 5th round.
This album is almost an hour long and has a few recommended stand out tracks such as "Corporate Scapegoat", "The Coward", "Chasing all Extremities", Wear the Snake, Introduction to Self Destruction, etc.Spread the Metal and share this music. Support the scene and help pave the way for original Metal! New album comes out Dec 21, 2020.If you pre order now, you can download 2-3 songs early as well as listen to them for streaming.
