Founded in 2017, Chaos Over Cosmos is the long running project of Polish guitarist and composer Rafał Bowman. From the beginning it operated through remote collaboration between musicians scattered across continents. The new release pairs Bowman with Pakistani vocalist Taha Mohsin, bringing another shift in voice and character. The band has always looked toward fast guitar runs, rapid fire rhythm work and a cosmic atmosphere. “The Hypercosmic Paradox” follows that direction with stronger focus and clearer identity.

The album runs on high energy from the first track onward. Guitar lines twist and surge in constant motion, vocals cut through with aggression and Bowman’s writing aims for intensity without crowding the listener. The production is sharp enough to let the speed shine, still keeping the overall sound heavy. The music is at points hyper-fast, although it stays controlled and easy to follow even during the most frantic moments.

Mohsin’s vocals add a harsher and slightly darker character to the project. His phrasing fits well with Bowman’s fast riffing, giving the album a steady pulse. The balance between melody and technical complexity is handled in a way that allows both elements to coexist without sliding into chaos. The long tracks use that momentum effectively, pushing forward through fast segments while keeping enough structure to stay coherent.

“The Hypercosmic Paradox” shows Chaos Over Cosmos continuing to sharpen its concept. The project embraces speed, cosmic atmosphere and intricate guitar work with full commitment. Bowman’s performance remains the anchor of the album while Mohsin adds fresh energy. It is a compact release that focuses on delivering intensity without unnecessary detours. Fans of high velocity progressive metal with death metal aggression will find a consistent and dedicated vision here. The instrumental parts could easily fit in video games.
