Since their beginning in two-thousand and four Chaoticum have amassed a significant body of work, five full albums to be exact starting with Chaoticum I -  So Ahc Lan-Rete  which made its way to the internet and found a fanbase. The next work that make itself known would be Chaoticum IXII - Necessary Death, in two thousand and five on Sept. 11, part personal political statement and part tribute to Pater Aequatio, who unfortunately did not live long enough to see this release come to fruition, followed by Chaoticum IV - Chaos de Xi Mer, a feast of sorts… not far down the pipes was and is Chaoticum VII - Reliquaries, a ritualistic celebratory treatise in honour of the marriage on  06/06/06 of “The Reverend” and “Silent Soror Krystalis” .

Now having the back catalogue out of the way we can focus the attention on what is to be considered their first full-length album release: [Psycho] Log: Y.  The musical experimentation revolves around establishing mood with a myriad of  sounds that are highly efficient in evoking a suspenseful yet at the same time melodic and dare I say it erotic environment at times. One may gather by some of the song titles that a few H.P Lovecraft books have been read, there is an occult horror element present but as for influence there has been one main person that has influenced the bands path and that would be Pater Aequatio who was instrumental in setting The Reverend on the path in bringing his concept of "The Theory of Nemesis" into action .

Musically speaking the sounds on this release run the gamut from the simply minimal tracks that do well to serve as a backdrop to the whole cd giving it a sense of continuity to the darker ambient rhythmic pieces incorporating vocals be they looped and otherwise that act as a mantra drawing the listener further in, whether or not that is the intent it is most definitely the effect. Is this ritual music? Yes.

Chaoticum is "The Reverend Chaoticum" (Dann Kriss), Silent Soror Krystalis, Hugh Jorgan, The Mad Cellist  and Uncle Jesse. The folks at Horus Cyclic Daemon deserve kudos, the packaging on this release is amazing, the attention to detail is second to none with a tri-fold digi pack with artwork and fold out poster custom designed by http://www.johncoulthart.com John Coulthart
