The Chasm is a death metal band originally from Mexico City, and currently residing in Chicago.[1] They have been described as one of Mexico's most respected metal bands.[2] The band was formed by singer/guitarist/bassist Daniel Corchado in 1992, after he left another early Mexican metal band, Cenotaph.[3] Corchado and drummer Antonio Leon have been the band's only constant members.[4]

Their first album was released in 1994, and while they remained an underground act in many countries, they found popularity in Latin America and Europe, and reached further audiences after signing with the UK-based Earache Records.[5] They are primarily known for death metal, but they are also influenced by other metal genres including thrash metal, black metal, progressive metal, and doom metal.[6]
