 While Lord Kaos only released one album, the group was a considerable influence on the local heavy metal music scene as not only arguably the first but one of the few bands to record and perform Norwegian-style symphonic black metal.Originally a five piece band formed by guitarist Jamie "Astennu" Stinson and vocalist Jamie "The Lord of Night Summoning" Marsh, they soon dropped the original drummer in favour of a drum machine and recorded the initial demo, "Path To My Funeral Light" in 1995.Later the same year, with the membership now down to four; Astennu, Marsh, bassist Incubus and keyboards by Sir Morrison, Lord Kaos recorded the album "Thorns of Impurity" with Astennu tracking guitars.
