Berlin-based progressive metalcore powerhouse CHAOSBAY are bringing their latest single How Does It Make You Feel? to life with a new live video recorded at Wacken Open Air 2026. The track, originally released on July 23, arrives as the band's newest chapter and highlights the balance of technical precision, crushing low-tuned riffs and soaring melodies that has become central to their sound. The single was released alongside a softer alternate version, giving the song two contrasting perspectives while retaining the same emotional core.
The Wacken performance captures CHAOSBAY in their natural environment — on stage, in front of a festival crowd, and delivering their progressive metalcore with the intensity that has helped establish them as one of Germany's most exciting modern heavy acts. Their sound has always thrived on contrast, moving between intricate musicianship, powerful heaviness and memorable melodic passages rather than remaining locked into a single approach. That versatility has helped the Berlin four-piece build a growing presence at major festivals, including Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze.
How Does It Make You Feel? also arrives during an especially active period for the band. Following their 2024 album ARE YOU AFRAID? and subsequent singles including ENEMY and AFTER THE SILENCE, CHAOSBAY have continued expanding their catalogue while taking their music to festival stages across Europe. Their latest single keeps that momentum moving, combining the band's progressive instincts with the accessible hooks and emotional weight that have become increasingly prominent throughout their recent material.
With Wacken 2026 providing the backdrop, How Does It Make You Feel? takes on an entirely different energy in its live form. The studio recording may introduce the song, but this performance shows how it translates when amplified by a festival crowd and the sheer force of a live CHAOSBAY performance. For a band continuing to push the boundaries between progressive metal, djent and modern metalcore, this latest release is another strong statement that their evolution is far from finished.
