Demonstrations in Chaos is a 2002 archives release by progressive metal band Watchtower, containing various early recordings that span the years 1983 to 1987.

The first 7 songs on the album were recorded in the summer of 1983 for the intended original version of Energetic Disassembly; it was scrapped when B.O.S.S. (short for Bob O'Neill Sound Studios) and its label, Rainforest Records, went under. All 7 tracks, plus "Violent Change", were re-cut for the 1985 Zombo Records release.
