The Chasm

The Chasm is a death metal band from Mexico City that currently resides in Chicago. They have been described as one of Mexico's most respected metal bands. The band was formed by singer/guitarist/bassist Daniel Corchado in 1992, after he left another early Mexican metal band, Cenotaph. Corchado and drummer Antonio Leon have been the band's only constant members.

They released their first album in 1994. While an underground act in many countries, they found popularity in Latin America and Europe, and reached wider audiences after signing with UK-based Earache Records. They are known for death metal but are also influenced by thrash metal, black metal, progressive metal, and doom metal.
