Max Chaos crashes onto the metal scene like a storm surge with his debut single “Ride The Wave,” released on June 13, 2025—because what better day to unleash mayhem than Friday the 13th? The song is the first lick of Order of Mayhem, the upcoming album bringing all of nu-metal, metalcore, and sheer aggression in one. Armed with blistering guitar riffs, guttural growls, and a mosh-pit-ready drum section from longtime collaborator Justin Kills, “Ride The Wave” delivers a brutal and magnetic punch.
Co-produced with Dan McConomy and mastered by Maor Appelbaum, “Ride The Wave” lets Max’s vocals swing from demonic screams to raw melodic yells with surprising control. He’s a one-man tornado of pain, rebellion, and catharsis, screaming not just for shock, but to exorcise the madness of modern existence. “I just woke up one day and figured out I had the ability to use my voice in different ways to express the pain, frustration, and madness,” says Max—and you believe him, because you feel it in every line.
The music video is an adrenaline trip, flashing between Max’s gritty real-world struggle and an animated alter ego who finds freedom in shredding guitars, muscle cars, and surfing through the chaos of life. It’s a visual metaphor for escapism, drenched in flames, comic book panels, and metalhead dreams.
The Radio Edit offers a cleaner version, trimming the expletives but leaving the core fury intact. It’s still a scorcher, but now fit for airwaves where raw energy is welcome, minus the explicit fire.
With “Ride The Wave,” Max Chaos cannonballs into the metal ocean. It’s a ferocious, high-voltage debut that’s unfiltered, unapologetic, and undoubtedly one of 2025’s loudest calls to arms. Check it out now.
