 The Chasm is a Mexican-American Progressive Death Metal band originally formed in Mexico City, but based in Chicago since 1997. As of 2022, they have released nine full-length albums and a handful of EPs and demos. Their sound is fairly old-school, but their song structures give them a fair deal of Progressive Metal influence, and they also arguably incorporate mild influence from Post-Rock and Black Metal.Their seventh full-length album, Farseeing the Paranormal Abysm, was something of a New Sound Album, as a full half of the songs were instrumental. That album, which was in all likelihood their most commercially successful release to date, presaged a further change on 2017's A Conscious Creation from the Isolated Domain (Phase I), which is entirely instrumental. This created a mild Broken Base, as some fans missed the vocals, whereas others pointed out that Farseeing was half instrumental anyway. The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow, their most recent album (as of 2022), has vocals on six of its nine tracks and wouldn't have felt out of place among the band's '00s work.Lead songwriter/guitarist/erstwhile vocalist Daniel Corchado also runs the label Lux Inframundis Productions (Latin for Light of the Underworld), and you can stream and purchase the majority of the band’s material on the label’s Bandcamp. He also has a tremendous number of side projects, some related to metal, some less so, and additionally was the lead vocalist on Incantation’s acclaimed third album, Diabolical Conquest (which, perhaps not coincidentally, was also probably Incantation’s most musically progressive album)note John McEntee actually offered him a full-time position with the band, but he declined. Had he stayed, Incantation’s sound may have gone in a completely different direction.Listeners can expect Epic Rocking and Epic Riffs aplenty from any of The Chasm’s albums. Their material displays a fairly large degree of technical proficiency and can be quite catchy at times, while also remaining quite atmospheric. Although their pace of output has slowed down in recent years, they’ve amassed a reputation as one of death metal’s most reliably consistent bands.Albums
