Chelsea Grin is an American deathcore band. They were founded in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2007 by Alex Kohler and (former) guitarist Chris Kilbourn. Originally named “Ahaziah”, the band continued to recruit members and gained bassist Austin Marticorena. 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, a self-titled EP that was first streamed and released online and then released in Compact Disc format worldwide on July 27, 2008. It was met with mixed reviews. The band released the song “Recreant” as a single and was received by listening audiences very well.
Desolation of Eden|Following the self-titled EP, Chelsea Grin found themselves wanting to recruit a third guitarist, and recruited Michael Stafford into the group, they then began rewriting current songs as well as new material. During 2009, Chelsea Grin started touring and gaining a fan base across the U.S., Artery Recordings took notice of the band after the release of the EP, signed them and booked them for festivals. When the band completed their touring and returned back to Salt Lake City they began writing new songs for the release of their debut-full length album. During the writing process, Austin Marticorena left the band and the group suffered a series of member changes for months which caused guitarist Chris Killbourn to leave as well.
Chelsea Grin soon recovered with their full line-up of six members and signed under the Artery Foundation for management, then switched to the newly founded Artery Records and released their debut full-length album, Desolation of Eden. It reached number 21 on The Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart. With the success of their debut, the band was afterwards featured and praised in Alternative Press and Utah newspapers. Chelsea Grin is currently planned to be included in 2010’s US Thrash and Burn tour. On July 7th, their debut music video, “Sonnet of the Wretched” was released.
