Praise For Chandler'S New Project KHAØS, Now Busy Working On First Full-Length Album:

2013 is gearing up to be quite a KHAØTIC year! :) Chandler has been working with Swiss hard rockers KHAØS for the past year, already releasing a digital EP entitled "Rising" to critical acclaim late last year, and are now working hard on their first full-length album, expected for a release later on this year.

If you like heavy and melodic hard rock with rich song structures, thought-provoking lyrics and a modern edge, you will enjoy KHAØS.  See what some of the critics are already saying about "Rising":

"Imagine Nickelback with great passion, music and hooks.  Khaøs rewards being played very loud indeed but at the same time this is music that would suit radio" - Fanzine Australia

"Reason to Die is nothing else but a hit, it clicked right from the start with my brainwaves" - Lior Steinmetal, Metal-temple.com

"Honestly just the thought of Mogel leading vocals gives you a reason to check out these tunes" - Denys, Myglobalmind.com

Haven't heard "Rising" yet?  What are you waiting for?  Check it out here!

OUTLOUD gearing up for Album #3 featuring special guest drummer:

OUTLOUD, the Greek / USA melodic hard rock band that made waves with their self-titled debut album in 2009 and the follow-up "Love Catastrophe" in 2011 are back with a vengeance.

George Kollias of the band Nile, one of the best extreme metal drummers in the world and long time friend of the band, agreed to participate in Outloud's next album tentatively titled "Let's Get Serious" (due out late 2013 - early 2014) recording all the drums!
Bob Katsionis says:  "We (Chandler Mogel, Bob Katsionis and bassist Sverd) are currently working on new melodic and versatile songs, and George Kollias' addition is gonna put the icing on the cake!  We couldn't be more excited about this lineup for our new album.  We are deep into the songwriting process and believe that this is some of the best and most powerful material we have written thus far.  We can't wait to share it with you!"
Like the band on Facebook at www.facebook.com/outloudtheband and check their official website www.outloud-rock.com for updates!
Additionally, Outloud are auditioning a 2nd guitarist and permanent drummer for the band.  If you can sing background and live in Europe it's a major plus! Please forward your links / video / bio etc. to bob_katsionis@yahoo.gr .
