Wow! What a mind blowing night! I’m still totally buzzing after the incredible and utterly mesmerising sets from both @opensightband and @wearepolymath as they launched their fantastic new albums with us last night.
The high is just as massive for the amazing atmosphere in the packed out room last night from both bands, who were an absolutely pleasure to work with, and all you lovely, lovely audience – honestly, it was like having all your best mates round your house for a party night! – huge love to each and every one of you for your enthusiasm and respect for both bands too! We see it and love you all for making Chaos Theory shows that bit more special.
I’ve got to say a huge thank you to @thegraceldn for being such a great venue for us and your amazing team for being so great to work with, to go into a venue and get to work with a crew who make everyone feel welcomed and wanting to make a great show absolutely means the world. Thank you!
To my amazing Chaos Theory colleagues last night: Nelly, Amelia, Sue, Estie, you are all so brilliant always and all your work last night just made sure everything was perfect, it really is an honour that I to get to work with you , Thank You!
Kunal, I think we did you proud!
I cannot wait for the chance to do all this again soon!

We are still reflecting on how beautiful, exhausting and magical our recent tour was. We absolutely love the photos we received today by @magda_campagne of our set at Lay Bare Fest. This was an unforgettable day where we got to meet many of our label family for the first time in person and see just how diverse and creative the roster is. We are so honoured to be amongst some of the most exciting bands at the moment. Thank you again to @laybarerecordings@pride_management and @chaostheorymusic for putting together this incredible feat of a festival. Thank you to @ourblackheart for hosting the event. Thank you to every single person who came along 🖤xxx

💥 UK GIGS 💥 First time ever, we're crossing the pond ✨️! Pull up London because we are playing Lay Bare Fest 27.09 🔥. An amalgamation of the very sick, dark, doomy bands @laybarerecordings has to offer in the @ourblackheart 🖤. We can't wait to play with @coltaine , @rosyfinchband , @mrsfrighthouse , and many more. And to be very clear, these tickets are an absolute steal 💸!! Get them quick and bring your mates 👀.
But that's not all! We are playing @daltonsbrighton 26.09 with @flavoursband , @therapports and @moonlight_parade_band 🌈 during @vinceandjo_have_a_radioshow 📻 and it's gonna be good one 💗.
If you tag your friends who you wanna bring to either of these shows ánd show up, we have a cute thank you from Holland package for ya (not Dutch flowers though 🌷).
Much love 🐀 ⚔️

ANNOUNCEMENT! We've been chewing our lips off waiting to share this with you!
The final band to complete the line-up at Lay Bare Fest: Frequencies Across Borders will be legendary sludge duo @kulkband !
After a phenomenal year of live performances since their last Chaos Theory appearance in November, culminating in a beast of a gig with ZU and @thegreyband last Saturday, we are overjoyed that Kulk will bring their hypnotic aggro-psych to @ourblackheart on Saturday 27th September!
You can get tickets on Dice before they trickle away completely.
See you in less than 4 weeks to feast on a banquet of heavy sounds, album launches from the @laybarerecordings roster, and live debuts 🔥🤘🖤✊🔥

Pre-orders for our debut album, Solitude Over Control, both digitally and on vinyl are now live! You can secure your copy from our Bandcamp or via our wonderful label @laybarerecordings 🖤
Solitude Over Control was mixed by our very own @lunafrighthouse and mastered by the legendary @plotkinworks
Thank you so so much from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has supported us in this journey so far, without you none of this would be possible. 🖤 Xxx

We’re beyond excited to announce Forlorn (UK) at Lay Bare Fest 2025!
Dark, crushing and atmospheric – their sound moves between downtuned metalcore, doom, folk horror and pagan metal.
@weareallforlorn released their most recent album Aether via our friends @churchroadrecords (also home to @lowen_band ), so they are the perfect addition to the line-up.
Get your tickets on Dice to see their unrelenting performance at @ourblackheart in September 🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥
