Chasm make music that I can only really describe as "metal", mixing together pretty much every style of the genré without discrimination. Casual listeners may be tempted to put the word "core" at the end of whatever label they may come up for this music, but this would be a pretty poor reflection of Chasm's music and totally goes against the fact that most of this band's influences come from bands that play blastbeats and fast, black metal style guitar riffings which underpin insanely technical lead guitar parts. I suppose this type of music IS commonly known as "metalcore", or maybe even "deathcore", but I'm a fan of neither label so fuck you.

The people who listen to and play this type of music are somehow generally all convinced that, without question, it is definitely the music of the future and the ultimate pinnacle of all that is metal, in that kind of misguided way that sort of reminds me of how movie directors in the 80s would set futuristic sci-fi thrillers in the year 2010 like they thought some kind of great machine revolution would have come by then. Chasm bring insane technicality, a pinch of groove and a raw stage energy that manages to achieve the rare goal of fulfilling the hype attached to their in vogue style of music, and with several high-profile shows with bands such as Romeo Must Die and Dana Walker on the horizon they're bound to turn a few heads throughout 2009."
