Throne of Chaos
Throne of Chaos were a heavy metal band from Espoo, Finland, active from 1996 to 2005.
Their early sound, as recorded on their debut album Menace and Prayer, has been described as melodic death metal, having musical characteristics reminiscent of fellow Finns Children of Bodom.
For their second album, Pervertigo, the band migrated to a sound more heavily influenced by thrash and power metal. For their final album, the progressive-leaning Loss Angeles, released on InsideOut Music, the band shortened their name from Throne of Chaos to TOC.
Taneli Kiljunen originally performed all vocals before damaging his throat and being unable to sing for an extended period. Because of this, Pervertigo was performed with the help of two session vocalists: Pasi Nykänen, also of Warmen, and Niklas Isfeldt, vocalist with Dream Evil, and Pure X. For Loss Angeles, Tuomas Nieminen was added to the band with Taneli offering occasional bursts of harsh vocals.
Despite the radical evolution of their sound over their decade of existence, as well as favourable reviews for their final album, the band, unable to make commercial headway, called it quits in August 2005.

Of Chaos
by: DakruaEntropy in all I see,
it's just my reality, but think:
what's behind this pointless game?
What's behind all our despair?
Will the end of this life
show the real prize
I'm waiting for?
Although I'm carrying my cross,
I cannot see
no sign of hope.
... Breeding the Chaos to live...
On and on with false beliefs,
hate the creed that leads our lives and deeds.
Once again we'll put our love
in the fear that we call God.
Will the end of this life
show the real prize
I'm waiting for?
Although I'm carrying my cross,
I cannot see
no sign of hope.
...No...
The blind leads the blind,
show to me what you see
with chains of deceit,
show to me 1 can't see
as Death is the only truth
... in the Chaos...
Wandering the Chaos path,
my delight and curse,
1 can't see the destiny
