For all intents and purposes, Chaos Temple is a metal band, with a strong proclivity toward doom metal. Yet, with so many enthralling and unique forms of music and musical offshoots in existence, why stay limited to one?

I was watching television as a teenager. It was one of those programs involving countdowns of all-time great bands. I no longer believe in the culturally constructed sanctity surrounding such programs and ideas, because they are propaganda that seek to use artifice in order to assign musical tastes to the observing public; the type of musical taste they often already have. These lists want to parrot the creators’ own subjective analysis to the public as objective truth based on arbitrary whims, unavoidable bias, and vague criteria.

Nonetheless, one aspect this program achieved correctly, in a way that resonated with me at least, was to involve King Crimson, seminal progressive rock band from the United Kingdom. I was already fascinated by King Crimson, having been hooked on them immediately since first listen. King Crimson were ranked low on this list, but one thing stuck out to me most about their segment.

A commentator on the segment, near its conclusion, said, and this may not be a verbatim quote, “King Crimson was not making music they were comfortable with. They were making music they haven’t heard before.”

That is my intention with Chaos Temple: to make music that I and the world have never heard before.

The only way to create this music not previously heard is if I initiate, compose, and eventually release, such; and if like-minded spirits do the same in their own way. On occasion, I may not be able to conduct such all by myself.

That is why I have turned to AirGigs as one source for talent. If I cannot; in good, ethical, or competent conscience; tap into a specific skill or task musically or otherwise relevantly, then AirGigs can be a resource for such.

While Chaos Temple is a one-man music project, I intend to never make the same album twice. I intend for it to possibly become a collective that multiple musicians can join and leave when they choose. I intend on being and staying an independent artist, through my vanity imprint Omnifice Productions.
