Chaos Divine - Africa (Toto Cover)

New album THE HUMAN CONNECTION - LIVE AT BADLANDS OUT NOW - stream and download it at vimeo.com/ondemand/chaosdivin...
-----
2012 marked the 30th anniversary since the release of the group's legendary Toto IV album, originally recorded in 1982. Containing other classics such as '"Rosanna" and "I Won't Hold You Back", the album went on to win six Grammy Awards, and is regarded as one of the defining records for the ballad-rock era of the 80's and 90's.
Chaos Divine's modernised cover version of the song was engineered and mixed earlier this year at Perth's Crank studios by guitarist and audio producer Simon Mitchell, and mastered by Jens Bogren of Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.
The album is available now on iTunes international or on the Chaos Divine website.

"Nobody should ever cover Toto poorly." FTFY. I agree. These guys did an amazing job at arranging a tasteful cover.
It shows us what a talent Chaos Devine are. Laughed my arse off when the wife was into the song until the last 30 seconds. She loves Toto.
This man’s voice is so mesmerizing
That was freaking perfect of what I would have thought to be an untouchable song. Never heard of band, must listen more. Great job.
live - Dave Anderton is Divine . never tire of that mans voice ;)
Oh man, this cover is great! I listened to the original just now and thought it would be cool to hear a rock/metal version of it. This is much better than I ever thought it could be. Probs!

Damn. Dudes vocals are stellar
If you guys can break this into the American radio market, you'll be even bigger success. Good luck.
I've listened to the top viewed covers of this song on YT, nothing came close, not even in the same planet of quality, originality and finesse. The tempo of the drums, the vocal tone, the guitar and bass tone. Its a shame some videos have 50m views while this is at 700k just because there's no clip of someone being funny on camera.
Best cover of Africa ever! I love it
how could this not have millions views?

This is the best cover of this song I've ever heard. The high note at 3:52 will haunt my dreams.
Between the double bass and the screaming at the end, this might be one of the most epic covers of ANY song I've heard. It turns a mild song into f'n awesomeness. If they want to come to NYC and play some shows, hit me up.
Best Hard Rock Cover ever for over 36 Years!!
Marvellous.........what a voice!!!!!
Holy Crap! I was wondering if this was gonna be a mess or good. I was wrong on both parts, THIS IS OUTSTANDING!

when covers are made to sound like the original with the biggest difference being the style of music. The covers normally come out good and this i think is why this exceeded my expectations.

It's a 44 ❤️ but someone did take him away ... He did ...how I wish I could see his face.... Good cover xxx
That three-part chorus gave me chills.
I'm not sure if you are aware, but a radio station in florida played your cover straight off the tube, and it was glorious.
Stumbled upon this and .... Wow, awesome!!
Been a few years, and this is still amazing.
Perth metal scene is one of the best in the world. Damn proud of these guys.
Why did I discovered until this today? Amazing!!
Approved by mister Steve Lukather himself. Respect, boys, it's been a while since we played together in 2009, but you've remained my favorite band from Down Under ever since.
Blown away by this.
Aaaahhhh, I'm 19 and cruizin in my old beater again. Thanks for this awesome cover guys. Good memories.
just amazing
Simply amazing
Holy hell. This is one of the most amazing covers I've heard so far! Pure gold.
Absolutely freaking awesome cover! To be honest, this is the first I've heard from Chaos Divine, but I will be listening to a lot more!
I was looking for a metal cover of this song, found a few I didn't like but when this started I was like "oh yeah this hits the spot" 👌🏻
wow really didnt expect to hear such a stunning cover of an amazing song
WOW!!!! The best cover of Africa I have ever heard!
I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG,IT'S ABSOULUTLEY ONE OF MY MOST SPNGS EVER,AND I ALLREADY LOVE THIS VERSION OF THIS LOVELY SONG!!!BOTH VERSIONS OF THIS SONG ARE JUST MASTERPIESCES!!!
Such a remarkable cover. I love it so much.
Three words... Amazing, awesome, brilliant!
As a huge ToTo fan, I love this song and ya'all made it ROCK!!! LOVE IT!!!
First song I've heard from you guys, but you nailed it for sure. Great Vocals, Rythm & Bass snuck in some great stuff, and love the lead's improvisation of the original. Overall you guys did an incredible job. Going to check out some more of your stuff for sure now, and spread the word.

(I know I'm late but) fun fact: the vocal and guitar were done by my music teacher
Wow best hard version I've ever heard I'm getting chills just thinking about it. It gives me the same feeling when I heard the original version for the first time when before I married my wife from Africa .
Awesome version! Loved the original, and can't stop listening to this!!
That energy and that ending though.
been in my head the last couple of days; glad to find the version that's been haunting me.
Simply EPIC!!!
*goes weak* OMG...I'm literally dying. Where has this cover been all my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I someone mentioned this cover, I assumed it would just be the usual ironic metal cover of a non-metal song, but I think it works pretty well.
so incredible. you guys have applied your own unique sound but still kept the feel of the original. nice!
Thank you, Chaos Divine, this is my absolute favorite cover of this song, the original of which is one of my absolute favorites anyway! This was masterfully put together and a joy to experience!
Wow, incredible.
This is an excellent cover of a classic song.
thank you guys for making this great cover song, you guys awesome..!!
I love it! I will look for more of your work. You' ve made my day!!
The best cover
excelente cover, larga vida al rock y los 80s

i agree this is good, greetings from new zealand
The best remake of this song I have heard yet
Best cover of this song
It's so upsetting to know that the ones who enjoy this song don't bother to check out more of Chaos Divine's music. Want a more epic song than this cover? Go listen to *Beacon* , *Landscapes* , *One Door* , *Contortion* .... But those are some of my favorites, (all their songs are my fav). YOU, go ahead and listen to their songs RIGHT NOW and find yourself a new favorite band that will make your brain explode. Your welcome.
Great cover sounds absolutely epic!
Amazing
TL/DR: Stop now. This is the best cover of this song you're going to find. For some reason I had the itch for this old song from my dad's record collection. But I wanted a heavier sound to it, so I went in search of good covers. This was the first one that came up, but I skipped it, dug deep and worked my way back up. Should have started here. This is the best cover I've found on youtube (after about an hour of multitask searching) Great job this is a great cover of a great song

rogue42bdf Heard it, and I love Leo and heavy metal, but to me, this kept more to the spirit of the original. Mostly because of the clean vocals and the slower (original), more dramatic tempo. Either way, hats off to Leo...I love his covers, but this is the better cover in my opinion (even if deep down I wish it were heavier lol).

well done. the original was one of my mom's favorite tunes. great job on the harmony and nailing the other musical soulful parts of this song. very well done, guys
Quality! Quality! Quality! You owned it. Great work!!!!!
Those drums though....Holy hell
Fantastic
the Echo like soundscape of the chorus is awesome
Love this...
WOWOWOWOW, the BEST cover ive heard so far in the metal cover section the vocalist has an amazing voice sending a big thumbs up from Israel!
This is fantastic!
Well done. You made it your own while preserving what makes this song special.
holy shit I got goosebumps
My favourite hands down cover of Africa
Guys, you really rocked it! Added to my playlist..
Love it
Really great cover
Wow this is spectacular. Excellent cover.
Yes
The best cover in my opinion
best cover hands down. Excellent job.
Best cover ever!!!
This is extremely under rated. Please share this video on Facebook it needs more views and recognition.
Love this!
This is beyond a shadow of a doubt an epic cover that takes a great song and makes it their own. It is worthy of being a bonus track on the new Chaos Divine album, they need to break it in the US, and I want to meet the band so badly. I love this, the way the whole thing just sounds, the organic-ness of it all, to me it's actually right on par with the original by Toto. Truly a refreshing break from all the shit that is dominating the airwaves.
SOOO GOOD!!!
