Rating: 7.5/10

My first reaction on this album was not very positive; the idea came to mind I had heard all this before. But when I listened to the album again and again, I began to discover new things, and I actually started to like it.

Musically, it’s melodic death-metal with lots of fast and catchy guitar-riffs, like they (used to) produce it in Gothenburg a lot. It’s not the next best thing in this genre, but it sure is a good album! Their drummer knows how to hit his skins, and their 4 (!) guitarists plus guest- guitarist know how to produce a solid wall of sound. Man, their guitarsound is ripping! But it surely will be crowded on stage… Female vocalist Lady Martex has obviously paid attention to the vocal activities of Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy), because their voices show a lot of resemblance, which is not meant in a negative way! I think they both have great voices!

The sound and production is pretty good, although due to the use of so many guitar- layers, some details seem to fade away. And that’s a shame, ‘cause these axe-men know how to write some nice riffs. But that’s also the slight little problem I have with this album. The album as a whole is quite good, and of course it has its ups and downs, but those are moments and riffs, not songs that particularly stand out above the rest.

As a whole the album leaves a quite good impression, but after playing this album for the first time, I couldn’t say I was impressed by some songs. And I sure can’t say that they left me astonished! So the problem I have with this album is that it is pretty enjoyable, but don’t expect really strong songs which stick in your head for long.

The band started out as a side-project of members of different Polish bands and started out with 5 (!) guitarists, now they only have 4 plus 1 guest-player… Their label claims that “this is one of the longest awaited debuts in the Polish metal scene!” Now I wouldn’t go as far as that, like I said before; it’s not the next best thing, though it surely is more aggressive and more brutal than the latest Soilwork or the latest In Flames. So, all in all, it’s quite a good album, and I guess this album will not only appeal to the standard Gothenburg-freaks, because it’s just a tad more brutal and aggressive. By the way, their At The Gates-cover is nice, but I like the original more!

ENTER CHAOS - Dreamworker
Label: Metal Mind Records
Der Name ENTER CHAOS hat mir bis zum Erhalten der Promo-CD genau gar nichts gesagt, im beiliegenden Info wird die Platte aber als eines der meist erwartetsten Alben 2002 bezeichnet - interessant! Ist da etwas spurlos an mir vorbeigegangen? Wie auch immer, mit steigender Spannung beginne ich das Ganze näher zu betrachten...
Unter etwas - sagen wir - seltsamen Pseudonymen wie Mr. „OZZ“ oder Mr. „VERYMETAL“ verstecken sich diverse Mitglieder von nahmhaften polnischen Bands wie BEHEMOTH, DIES IRAE, DEVILYN, und anderen. Das All-Star-Projekt möchte eine Mischung aus melodischen Sounds ? la IN FLAMES oder GARDENIAN, klassischem Schweden-Death ? la DISMEMBER und zähflüssigem Ami-Death ? la IMMOLATION schaffen - und man kann sagen, dass das durchaus gelungen ist. Auf Grund der Zielsetzung ist die Sache aber von Anfang dazu verurteilt, nicht gerade ein Wurf größter Originalität zu werden. Wer sich jedoch mit den genannten Bands anfreunden kann, macht hier nichts falsch, wenn er einmal ein Ohr riskiert.
Die Vocals erinnerten mich anfangs stellenweise an die neue Frontfrau von ARCH ENEMY. Wie ein Blick auf den Infosheet zeigte, ist auch hier eine Frau am Werk - wüsste man es nicht, könnte man jedoch keinen Unterschied zu männlichen, heiser brüllenden Kollegen ausmachen.
Die Produktion des Albums ist ausreichend transparent, jedoch haben die Gitarren einen fürchterlich kratzigen Sound. Deren Darbietung ist aber entgegen dem Sound durchaus sauber. Die Drums haben den von BEHEMOTH gewohnten sterilen Trigger- Sound und fügen sich gut in den Gesamtsound ein.
Als Bonustrack wird eine Coverversion vom AT THE GATES-Klassiker „Cold“ aufgefahren, was man besser gelassen hätte. Nachdem der Sound auf dem ganzen Album dem des Originals recht ähnlich ist, müsste man den Song mindestens 1:1 in derselben Qualität wiedergeben, wie das Original, was den Polen allerdings nicht zu hundert Prozent gelingt. Einige Unsauberkeiten und die Tatsache, dass die Dame am Mikro nicht an das Organ vom bekannten Sangesmann Tompa herankommt, machen den Song leider zu keinem Genuß. Der Rest der Platte geht jedoch in Ordnung, weshalb ich 4 Punkte für eine minimal überdurchschnittliche Platte zücke.
4 von 7 Punkten. Prädikat: gut

That same review from Earshot, but in English. Thanx to OPACITY for traslated!

The name Enter Chaos didn't ring a bell at all until I received the promo cd, but the attached info said that this album is one of the most expected ones of the year 2002 - interesting! Have I missed out something? Anyway, I start looking at it with growing tension...

Behind somewhat - let's say - strange pseudonyms like Mr. "OZZ" or Mr. "VERYMETAL", various members of well-known Polish bands like BEHEMOTH, DIES IRAE, DEVILYN, and others are hiding. The all-star-project wants so create a blend of melodic sounds ? la IN FLAMES or GARDENIAN, classical Swedish death ? la DISMEMBER and tough viscous Ami death ? la IMMOLATION - and I can say, that it does work indeed. But because of the effort to sound like these bands, it is not of greatest originality. However, when you're fan of named bands, you cannot go wrong lending an ear to the album. At first the vocals reminded me at some points of the new front woman of ARCH ENEMY. A look at the infosheet confirmed me that it is a woman - but if I wouldn't read it, it could also be a husky, growling guy.

The production of the album is sufficiently transparent, but the guitars have an awefully scratchy sound. The performance of the guitars however, is quite well. The drums have the well-known trigger-sound of BEHEMOTH und fit well to the overall-sound.

As bonus track a cover version of the AT THE GATES classic "Cold" is on the album as well, which they better should have left out. Since the sound of the album is much like the sound of the original, you could suppose that the song is of the same quality as the original, but that is not achieved to 100%. Some unclean details and the fact that the lady on the micro cannot reach the voice of the famous Tompa make this song not a fave one. The rest of the CD is really ok, that's why I give 4 points for an at least over-average CD.
4/7 attribute: good

ENTER CHAOS (POLONIA) "Dreamworker" CD
METAL MIND PRODUCTIONS, 2002
NUMERO DE TEMAS: 10
DURACION TOTAL: 40:02
MP3 DISPONIBLE: NO
CRITICA DE: DAVID DENIZ
PUNTUACION: 9 DE 10

Creo que es hora de rendirnos a la supremacia polaca dentro del Death metal europeo. No es que las bandas que salgan sean originales, pero la gran mayoría hacen un Death Metal contundente y llamativo. Esto es lo que ocurre con estos ENTER CHAOS, la verdad es que suenan más parecidos a VADER y a DEVYLIN, pero es una música brutal ycon una exquisita calidad técnica. En las filas de ENTER CHAOS tenemos a la ex vocalista de IMMEMORIAL, Marta, que sigue ofreciendo una voz realmente brutal. Como he dicho antes, la mayor influencia viene de los dioses polacos VADER, con esos riffs aplastantes , veloces y destructivos y luego la labor vocal junto con esa técnica tan alta me recuerda a las conmposiciones que DEVYLIN han hecho para sus trabajos... para cerrar el ábum se marcan una agresiva versión del «Cold» de los míticos AT THE GATES... la producción es excelente y la grabación se hixo en los Hertz Estudios de Polonia. Un trabajo altamente recomendado.

ENTER CHAOS - Dreamworker
CD, 2002, Metal Mind Productions
Dreamworker constituie cel mai asteptat produs dioscografic din scena metalica poloneza a acestui an. Albumul apartine unei titulaturi noi, Enter Chaos, dar desi trupa este noua, din ea fac parte unii dintre cei mai importanti muzicieni de metal polonezi, ce activeaza in trupe precum Azarath, Behemoth, Trauma, Demise, adevarate legende ale muzicii extreme din aceasta tara. Format in luna ianuarie a acestui an a initiativa Martei Meger (ex-vocalista a trupei cult Immemorial) , Enter Chaos a devenit treptat dintr-un proiect un grup adevarat prin consolidarea componentei.
Albumu Dreamworker reprezinta o adevarata surpiza placuta, pentru ca muzica inclusa pe disc este un death metal ingenios, foarte bine gandit si realizat. Discul are doua directii distincte, pe de o parte existand riff-uri grele si o sectie ritmica caracteristica death metal- ului clasic in maniera vechiului Dismember, Immolation si evident Death, iar pe de alta parte avem ritmuri rapide si melodioase , caracteristice scolii de death metal suedeze. Acestei combinatii ingenioase de stiluri oarecum distincte i se adauga unele secvente psihedelice si cateva interludii realizate pe clape, ingrediente care contribuie la diversitatea discului. Nu lipsesc desigur solo-urile de chitara, desi imi este greu sa inteleg de ce intr-o trupa, fie ea si de death metal tehnic, e nevoie de 4 chitaristi, dintre care 3 canta si la bas!
Fara indoiala insa ca unul din atuurile principale ale acestei trupe si implicit al discului il constituie insa vocalista Marta (aka Lady Martex). Daca in fisa de prezentare a trupei nu ar fi scris ca vocea ii apartine in totalitate unei femei, cu siguranta ca nu mi-as fi dat seama de acest aspect. Growl-ul executat de Marta are o tonalitate atat de "barbateasca" incat poti fi foarte lesne indus in eroare. Oricum Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy) si Cadaveria (Cadvaeria, ex-Opera IX) au o concurenta foarte serioasa in persoana Martei.
Ceea ce este uimitor (sau poate nu ) este modul in care suna din punct de vedere al productiei trupele poloneze de la Metal Mind Productions, adica extrem de bine. De fapt, nimic din ceea ce inseamna acest disc (coperta, prezentare grafica, sunet) nu tradeaza faptul ca trupa provine din Europa de Est.
Pe langa cele 9 compozitii proprii , pe Dreamworker a fost inclusa si o preluare , piesa Cold fiind cover At the Gates.
Ca piese de rezistenta am remarcat in special Blood Desire ( aleasa excelent pentru a deschide discul), Industrial Disease si Lost In Ecstasy. Tinand cont si de faptul ca este un debut, sunt convins ca pe viitor vom avea multe surprize placute din partea Enter Chaos.

ENTER CHAOS - Dreamworker
Au départ, Enter Chaos est un projet de musiciens jouant déj? dans d'autres groupes comme Azarath, Devilyn, Dar Semai, Behemoth, Trauma, Demise, Immemorial et Aural Planet. Le projet a pris corps en janvier 2002. En février, ils signent chez Metal Mind Productions. En avril, avec le remplacement de deux guitaristes, le projet devient un véritable groupe. Les enregistrements de l'album ont débuté en mai 2002.

Musicalement, nous nageons en plein death métal avec des influences provenant de Black Sabbath mais aussi de Yngwie Malmsteen... En effet, le groupe est tr?s technique dans sa façon de jouer ce qui explique ma référence ? Malmsteen.

J'ai par contre un peu de mal ? reconnaître les qualités vocales de la chanteuse, Marta Meger alias Lady Martex. Sans doute serait-il intéressant de pouvoir réellement l'entendre chanter... mais alors, ce ne serait sans doute plus du death métal.

Bref, le groupe Enter Chaos nous propose ici son premier album, "Dreamworker". Et, je peux vous dire que ça déménage d'un bout ? l'autre. Dans leur domaine, il s'agit d'une excellente entrée en mati?re pour un premier album.

Quant ? la couverture du livret qui accompagne le CD, elle est l'oeuvre de GRAAL (Behemoth, Theory In Practice, Mutant, Grief Of Emerald).

Very funny review from Dutch Quintessence (http://www.quintessence.sh). Funny, because it sounds like a joke, not review... Vader, Morbid Angel, thrash...

Dreamworker
Metal Mind Productions

Enter chaos is also pretty new to me, I haven’t heard from them before, and frankly I don’t really regret it. I guess you can classifie this under standard-nothing special death/blackmetal, pretty much in fast pace and some cool melodies added to top it off. This isn’t really that bad, but totally not exciting at the same time. The production is doable, nothing bad, nothing really exceptional. As far as influences go, I’d say you can compare them to some 90’s death metal bands, some Morbid Angel I definitly hear, some Vader, etc The vocals remind me of oldschool thrashmetal, which is totally not my cup of tea, but oh well.. Let us not forget a rather well executed coverversion of At The Gates classic ‘Cold’, which is the best thing about this release, if not be for the vocals who kind of royally ruin it. Overall not a bad release, just nothing that can really catch your attention; the layout seems to be professional, some good digital imagery on here, which is probably the most positive point about this release, and this review, if you want to waste money, go ahead & buy this.

Album is a coolection of 9 songs fast melodic death metal with some psychodelic stuff and the cover of At the gates"cold".The vocalist and the leader of the band -Marta Mager says: "On this record will find something interesting.This album is deepely rooted on one side in melodick and powerful songs in a style of In flames,Gardenian and "old Sweden" like Dismember and on the other side you can find there hard and twisted guitar riffs witch can remind you Immolation and Death."And he is right.Enter chaos really reminds me Death and In flames. So lets wait their new album!

Wertung: 3 /6
Kai Scheiffele / 03.10.02

Na das läßt doch einiges erwarten, Wenn man sich so das Line up von Enter Chaos betrachtet, dann ließt sich selbiges wie das who is who der polnischen Todes-Szene. Sieben bekannte und versierte Musiker (wobei Behemoth's Havoc stellvertretend für alle hier aufgeführt wird) schlossen sich im Januar diesen Jahres zusammen, um uns mit einem gemeinsamen Side-project zu erfreuen und zu unterhalten. Pustekuchen: Namen sind eben Nix als Schall und Rauch, wenn das Ganze einfach nicht rüberkommen will. "Dreamworker" bietet (wie kaum anders zu erwarten) ein breit gefächertes Sammelsurium der unterschiedlichsten Richtungen - von schnell und melodisch bis psychodelisch und brutal deathig. So weit, so gut. Ausser Frage steht auch, dass sämtliche Musiker ihr Handwerk wirklich verstehen. Brutale Drums, geile Guitarren-Soli, ein facettenreicher Gesang ... aber: Hat doch keinen Sinn, wenn das alles nicht irgendwie zusammenfließt.Und genau dieser Eindruck stellt sich bei Dreamworker ein. Man glaubt zeitweise, dass da jeder sein eigenes Lied spielt. Natürlich bietet das Album auch einige Lichtblicke, (welche die Rezession gerade so vor 2 Punkten retten): So z.B. die sehr überzeugende Death-Hymne Chaos, oder die wirklich gelungene Coverversion des At the Gates-Klassikers Cold. Beim besten Willen können da nicht mehr als 3 Punkte rumkommen. Auch ein Side-projekt kann mit ein wenig Arbeit zusammen wachsen und eine homogene Einheit bilden. Selbiges hoffe ich für Enter Chaos, denn Potential ist auf jeden Fall da!!

From: Kai Scheiffle/ 3.10.02

Yeah, I expect quite something when I look at the line-up of Enter Chaos, it reads like the who-is-who in the Polish Death-scene. Seven known and experienced musicians (Havoc from Behemoth for example) decided in January this year to bring us some bliss and entertainment with a mutual side project. But none of that: what's in a name, when the whole just won't work! "Dreamworker" offers (as expected) a broadly varied collection of different directions – fast and melodic to psychedelic and brutal death-like. So far so good. Also, there's no doubt that all musicians know how to handle their instruments. Brutal drums, awesome guitar-soli, very varied vocals.... but: it makes no sense when the whole thing just won't flow one into another. This impression leaves Dreamworker. At some points you think that everyone is playing his own song. Sure, there are some highlights as well (which bewares the review of only 2 points): for example, the very convincing death-hymn Chaos, or the really well done cover version of At The Gate's classic Cold. But still, not more than 3 points. Even a side project can grow together with some working-together and eventually build a homogenous unity. I hope that for Enter Chaos, because there definitely lies potential in it!

Reviewed on: October

Review: Enter Chaos is a so strange band for me. They make a really not so special music, but after you listen once, you want to listen to it again...and don´t know why!. From 90's classic way of playing death metal like bands such as Morbid Angel, Vader or Nephast, to some trash ones as Destruction or Testament. All the guitar sections are quite good and due that trash touches reminds me when I started listening to "harder-than-heavy-metal" music, long time ago :-).

From the cover to inner artwork and overall music, this band looks so professional and I think next time will be their time to rule the underground. Now, is perhaps so early for them, but if you want to listen good music, you can try this one, and also if like At The Gates, you´ll find here a cover from "Cold" track.

great review from allmighty Urkraft Webzine (www.metalprovider.com/urkraft)

ENTER CHAOS - DREAMWORKER
Metal Mind Productions, 2002

Over the last few years I've grown into a big fan of Polish metal listening to bands like Vader, Sirrah and Behemoth in particular. So I was very excited when the debut album from Polish Enter Chaos landed on my hallway floor! The story behind this band is a very interesting one, consisting of members, or ex-members, from several different bands (Azarath, Demise, Luna Ad Noctum, Dar Semai, Damnation, Immemorial and Aural Planet), all coming together to create one unity as Enter Chaos. I've had explained to me the rules of the band's composing process and a very intriguing procedure it is. There are 4 guitarists in the band and each individual guitarist had the assignment to write 2 or 3 death metal tunes in their own personal style. One might think this act would lead to a shattered result but actually it has worked out very well. The variation of the material gives the album an extra boost and the mix of melodic and frantic death is scrumptious.

Their Polish heritage can be heard in the uncompromising and extreme spirit of the band and the contagious melodies which have this Eastern Europe touch to them. There are plenty of memorable tunes here but my immediate favourites are the Death reminiscent title-track and ever so furious "Electronic Zombies". Two amazing songs which will be played at all future parties I throw! :) Added to the rooster is also a killer version of At the Gates' thrashing "Cold"! A nice cover choice to say the least! Flawless musicianship and a fantastic collection of songs makes this one of the most solid death metal releases of the year. Extra plus for the mindnumbing vocal performance from vocalissa Lady Martex who owns an extraordinary set of vocal chors. Amazing growler!! I can't wait to hear more from this band in the future. A given purchase for all death metal fanatics out there!

"Dreamworker" is album of the month in canadien Metallian - http://www.metallian.com

ENTER CHAOS - DREAMWORKER - METAL MIND
Enter Chaos' songs are amazingly precocious in spite of the band having been formed less than a year ago. The talented and mature nature of the compositions is an indication of the advancement of the heavy metal scene as a whole. Featuring five guitarists, three bassists and several guest musicians on the record, Enter Chaos is comprised of members of other Polish bands like Devilyn, Dies Irae and Behemoth. Most of these musicians have either already left the band to concentrate on their main bands or have now moved on to Enter Chaos exclusively. It is of interest to note, if readers will indulge me a tangent, how many Scandinavian bands are marketed as metal and turn out to be nothing more than either warmed-over Depeche Mode clones or poser K&F bands. Then one comes across Enter Chaos, whose label describes them by using adjectives such as melodic and psychedelic, which then manages to crush with a compelling repertoire. Speaking of Sweden, Enter Chaos has many elements of a Dark Tranquillity (before they wimped out) or Arch Enemy. The production is not world-class, but the melodic guitars are played with incredible talent. In fact some of the quirkier parts are reminiscent of Crypt Of Kerberos no less. Soaking in the axework on the song Chaos will easily impress most listeners. Furthermore, and like Arch Enemy, the growler behind the microphone is a female whose voice could easily fool the listener. Marta Meger growls her lungs out and to good effect. Yet the biggest praise goes to L. Rambo on drums. His work is both varied and powerful. Oft when a drummer abandons the straight beat in favour of more adventurous patterns, he ends up losing much of his power. That clearly is not the case on Dreamworker. All in all, Dreamworker is strongly recommended to fans of melodic and varied death metal. Were it not for another redundant cover version, some background keyboards and a slightly weak sound the album would have been nigh on perfect - Ali "The Metallian"

just in for the new batch of BWBK reviews :

ENTER CHAOS

Dreamworker (Metal Mind)

Very cool hearing something other than jackhammer '93 rote-death from the Polish, Enter Chaos combining the six-string sandblasting and vocal gnashing of the Poland's harsh national metal of choice with a well-chosen Swedish death vibe that sits somewhere between pure, hard Soilwork and Darkane and old Scando-masters like Edge Of Sanity, Cemetery and At The Gates (there's an At The Gates cover here as well). The crazy thing is that this thing is a side project, featuring folks from Azarath, Devilyn, Dar Semai, Behemoth, Trauma and Demise, with the requirement that everybody write a track, further surprise coming when you find out that that's a female vocalist - Marta from Immemorial, now deemed Lady Martex. But man, what a crushing sound, hugely dirty, riffs like craggy peaks, complexity that is directed, like I say, toward two schools of Swedish death with doses of neo-black and neo-American death chucked in to yank it extreme. Very, very professional and a caustic confluence of influence.

Enter Chaos - Dreamworker (Metal Mind)
Poland's Enter Chaos (featuring members form notable death metal bands Behemoth, Devilyn, and Dies Irae) have created an album that takes the aggressive melodic death metal genre to a cool new level. With exceptional performances all around, this endeavor will surely be eaten up by those who constantly bathe with the Swedes. But Enter Chaos have created something much more noteworthy than a lot of the bands who play this style. Mixing the fine elements of the entire At The Gates catalogue (they even do a swell cover of 'Cold'), touching on elements from the mid-to-latter-day-era Death along with the power of early Arch Enemy and latter-day Carcass, what we have here is one entertainingly scathing listening experience. Surely ambitious, but not too pretentious, hailing from a land which is known for the more brutal and darker death, this new outfit will surely make an impact given the right push and exposure. Oh yeah, and their singer is a female.

Chris Bruni 8/10 (BW&BK Magazine)

I'll survive... I have been a bit relaxed about doing stuff lately... I did however get most of the Sexto9.com overhaul finished... it looks great I think... don't feel bad... I think I'm up to 5 different websites that I'm doing something on...

I already have loads of work... between proofreading lyrics, laying out a cd/booklet etc, and trying to convince you guys I need better pictures, designing EC website v2, setting up theMetal.net,

plus waiting for the rest of the parts for this new machine to put together...
