Biography

Chelsea Grin is an American deathcore band from Salt Lake City, Utah. Formed in 2007, the group is currently signed to Artery Recordings and have released two EPs (Chelsea Grin in July 2008, and Evolve in June 2012) and two full-length albums, the latest being My Damnation (July 2011). The name of the band is derived from the torture method of the same name.

Chelsea Grin was founded in Salt Lake City during March 2007 by vocalist, Alex Koehler and (former) guitarist Chris Kilbourn. Prior to being named Chelsea Grin, Koehler and Kilbourn were in local Salt Lake City band named “Ahaziah”, which was the forerunner band to Chelsea Grin. Ahaziah over time lost most of their original line-up, leading the group to change their name to begin something new. In March 2008, the band named themselves Chelsea Grin, naming themselves after the infamous torture maneuver known as the Glasgow smile or “Chelsea grin”.

New members recruited after the beginning of this new project were bassist Austin Marticorena and lead guitarist Michael Stafford. Marticorena introduced Andrew Carlston to Chelsea Grin and assisted in rewriting their current songs as well as the creation of new material. This writing process lead to the tracks listed on their first release, Chelsea Grin EP, that was first streamed and released online through iTunes and then released in Compact Disc format worldwide on July 27, 2008.

    Someone needs to update the wiki for that then. Otherwise Cybergrind and Grindcore will haunt the deathcore CG for life on last.fm.

    there was also a cybergrind band called Chelsea Grin. Which probably explains that cybergrind and grindcore tags.

    Who the fuck wrote that bio? "the band had recently lost their vocalist to ovarian cancer and decided to turn to the next chapter. " Lol. Oh, you have jokes. I see how it is.

    I can't believe there are two different versions of Desolation of Eden in the top albums. I didn't think it made a difference if you capitalized "of" or not.

    Whoever tags this as grindcore, deathgrind and cybergrind - i hope you were kidding or trolling. This band has nothing to do with those genres.

    The cleans definitely made them more interesting. That last EP sounds like older Eighteen Visions, and that is fucking awesome.
