Finding Enjoyment in Chaos

Finding Enjoyment in Chaos is the fifth full-length album by American metal band Triple Seven. It is the band's first studio affair to feature the same lineup as the preceding record. It is their second outing under Relapse, and also marks the first album by the outfit to be available through the same label as the previous effort. The offering was released on January 19, 2018.

Composition
Finding Enjoyment in Chaos has been described by the members as "faster, abrasive, crazier, and even goofier" than the band's previous material. Whereas the past three albums and Vampirous Vitality contained a healthy dose of singing from Ash Erickson,  the new LP de-emphasizes cleans to better fit the atmosphere of the tracks. When writing the record, the band mentioned that they were mostly listening to music by Benighted and Polkadot Cadaver. This album is the first ever release by the quintet to feature an instrumental piece: "Football x Tuxedo." Stylistically speaking, much of the record is firmly rooted in deathgrind, with elements of alternative and avant-garde metal. On the other hand, "Song for a Nymphomaniac" is a mathcore piece, "Advanced Darkness Ritual" bears strong sludge overtones (recalling Acid Bath in particular), while album closer "Arrivederci Sayonara Bye-Bye" is a punk rock composition with lyrics that thank the people who listened to the album as well as the 7-Ups.

Unlike the quasi-thematic nature of The Innocent Demons Dance, Finding Enjoyment in Chaos is in no way a concept album. "Kutchur Katela Flala!" is from the perspective of the character Sucy from the multimedia series Little Witch Academia.
