January 1993,Mexico City, The Chasm was born. Daniel Corchado left Cenotaph to embark on a dark journey: the procreation of an unique form of obscure and bizarre Metal of Death. Corchado carried with him the imspiration of the ancient masters: Celtic Frost, Slayer, Black Sabbath, Sacrifice, Destruction and the pure essence of traditional heavy metal plus an infusion of more contemporary acts like Carnage, Winter, Autopsy, early Mayhem, and Dismember.

Two months later, "Awaiting the Day of Liberation" was unleashed upon the masses. This demo sold 1500 copies worldwide and started the spread of the Necrocult plague.
𘹪 marked the release of "Procreation Of The Inner Temple". This full length CD unfortunately was doomed to only 1000 copies. Despite suffering from poor production, “Inner Temple" contained the most grotesque and experimental music the band had recorded to date. Inner Temple has become a collector"s item to those who have dared to enter The Chasm.

Alas, the journey had only just begun. In 1995, the second full-length album and one of the most obscure to emerge from the Mexican scene was released. "From The Lost Years . . ." contained over 70 minutes of pure slow, gray and depressive Metal of Death. By this time, the feeling and intensity of The Chasm"s creations had become totally familiar to the followers of the band. The style was refined and maintained, yet was becoming ever more and more advanced.
𘹭 marked the final year of The Chasm in their homeland. During the recording sessions for "Deathcult For Eternity: The Triumph" several decisions were made. The most vital for the health and continued improvement of The Chasm was relocation. But during this time, physical movement was not the only problem facing them. The release of "Deathcult…" was delayed for over a year after the initial recording! Again, however, despite suffering from weak recording, once unleashed, it was hailed as a classic piece by many. The ferocious power and utter intensity was stronger than ever. Those who witnessed The Chasm"s first live US appearance at Milwaukee Metal fest XII (1998) felt the force of the Necrocultic attack -- ugly, extreme and dark Death Metal at its rawest and finest.

After relocation to the United States, things temporarily turned dismal. A big decision was made to look for a better deal/ label. The infamous "Promo "99" was recorded and pressed just a few weeks before Milwaukee Metalfest XIII to aid in this quest. Several labels expressed interest, but in the end, Dwell Records won the contract. In those times only Dwell had the faith and believed in the music and the band.

During the falling leaves and the bleak air of October 1999, the "Procession To The Infraworld" began at Sheffield Studios (Sheffield, Indiana). The result? The band"s most uncompromising, darkest and extreme creation with the new line-up, the unbridled fusion of the elements from a wide spectrum of Musical Metal Knowledge with a lot of variety and insane moods provided the listener an impressive and chaotic experience while remaining authentic and refreshing.

A key factor in the sonic aura of Procession was the 1998 addition of veteran deathmonger Julio Viterbo (ex-Cenotaph (Mexico), ex-Shub Niggurath) to the already deadly mix of original members Daniel Corchado and Antonio Leon (percussive devaatation). Early this Spring, The Chasm welcomed their new warrior, bassist Alfonso Polo (ex-Allusion).

Throughout all this time, The Chasm established themselves as a strong force in the live circuit. They have shared the stage with bands such as: Therion, Suffocation, Morbid Angel, Nile, Disgorge, Unleashed, Rotting Christ, Scepter, Thornspawn,Cianide, Bloodstorm,Black Witchery,Mayhem to name a few; in addition to several appearances in the American Metalfest series (Texas, New Jersey, and Milwaukee).

A few months after the successful release of "Procession…" Dwell started to Ignore and stop supporting their bands, leading this to the bands decision to leave "em for good.The search for a new label became like an impossible task,,as usual ,the total lack of interest from the pseudo Death Metal labels turned into just a waste of time for The Chasm ,they already had the new hymns of death ready to be recorded and unleashed for the next opus macabre, so something had to be done,something dramatic and definitive...

August 2001 ,the decision was made,Lux Inframundis Productions was created by Corchado with only one simple and important purpose :Releasing The Chasms upcoming attack:"Reaching The Veil Of Death" was completely produced by The Chasm, recorded by Corchado at the Bands headquarters and at Lux Inframundis Studios this short ,but deadly new evocation has quickly become a Dark and Devastating inspiration for those involved into the Chasmcult, without any kind of support from any label the band has shown once again the most important point of their Cult and it must be emphasized: The Chasm"s motivation for creating such extreme music comes directly from mind and soul. They follow their instincts and feelings, not caring about any trend. The utter anxiety to reach the portal to the other side is THE core concept of this Deathcult:

Heavy Metal of Death,forever burning in our Souls...
