Chaotic Rehearsal II: A Thrash Riot from Chile That Still Kicks Ass
Alright, so let’s talk about Chaotic Rehearsal II by Chaotic Bastard. This 2005 thrash rock gem from Chile is one of those albums that just grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go until the last riff fades out. Released under Infernal Overkill Productions (a name that fits like a glove), this record screams raw energy, unapologetic anger, and some serious headbanging vibes.
The album kicks off with “Elimination Is Inminent,” and holy crap, it’s an absolute banger. The opening riffs hit you like a freight train, fast and relentless, setting the tone for what’s coming next. What sticks with me here is how chaotic yet tight the band sounds—they’re not just shredding for the sake of it; there’s actual groove in the madness. Plus, the vocals? Pure rage-fueled fire. It’s one of those tracks where you can almost feel your neck muscles screaming at you after five minutes because, yeah, you’ve been headbanging nonstop.
Then there’s “We Are Chaotic Bastard (Conc$%).” I mean, come on—the title alone tells you everything you need to know. It’s wild, rebellious, and kinda unhinged, but in the best way possible. This track feels like their battle cry, like they’re daring anyone to mess with them. The breakdowns are brutal, and the tempo shifts keep you on edge the whole time. You can tell these guys were having fun while making this—it’s messy in all the right ways.
Other songs like “Revolutionary Forces” and “Violence Is My Way” bring more of that high-octane chaos, but honestly, it’s the first and last tracks that really stick in my brain long after the album ends.
What’s cool about Chaotic Rehearsal II is how authentic it feels. No overproduced nonsense here—just pure, gritty thrash metal straight from Chile. And hey, isn’t it kinda badass that a band from South America could deliver something this heavy back in 2005? Like, imagine these dudes cranking this out in some tiny rehearsal space, probably surrounded by empty beer cans and busted amps. Respect.
So yeah, if you’re into thrash or just wanna hear something that’ll make your neighbors hate you, give this album a spin. But fair warning: once you press play, there’s no turning back. Oh, and random thought—why don’t more bands have song titles with symbols like “Conc$%”? Feels like missed opportunities everywhere.
