Chaostar: 間 (MA) – new video & Anomima – full album stream

You see, everything is connected: CHAOSTAR, the neoclassical musical project of SEPTICFLESH's Christos Antoniou, have unleashed a new Jon Simvonis-directed, produced and edited video for ‘MA (間)’, from the project's latest album ‘Anomima’, issued through Season Of Mist in May 2013. The video features butoh dancer Sumako Koseki (“Amongst the major honors I’ve had in my life, not only as an artist but as [a] person, is the participation of the renowned butoh dancer Sumako Koseki in the new video clip,” says CHAOSTAR mastermind). Antoniou originally envisioned ‘Anomima’ an opera, conceptually based on Euripides' tragedy “Medea”; of the early idea, only the song ‘Medea’ remains, featuring the spoken word (“the devilish power of the unsurpassable voice”) by David Vincent of MORBID ANGEL fame. Thematically, the album revolves around the Greek word “anomima” which stands for “sin” or “unapproved action”, such as a revolutionary idea or provocative behavior. The ‘Anomima’ lyrics were mainly written by CHAOSTAR new singer Androniki Skoula.
