Since 2003, the Chariot have been laying waste to crowds and releasing albums of unwavering chaos, but the Georgia born hardcore outfit's current and former members number in the double digits at this point. With the rotation of who's in the van, many fans have assumed the band was breaking up at various points...

Blood and stop-motion were the weapons of metal videos this year. Some made great uses of digital technology, and others lost themselves in the edits. Vampire nurses, blood-soaked ladies, space travel -- 2010 had it all. But it's so easy to miss a video in the myriad of premieres...

With the revolving-door membership in Douglasville, Ga.'s the Chariot, it makes sense that comeuppance would find founding member and vocalist Josh Scogin -- even if he was replaced for one night. At the avant-garde metalcore band's tour stop with the Cancer Bats in Pittsburgh, local fan John Bice found himself holding the mic for their set...

Chaos might be the only way to describe the Chariot's output. The Georgia act has never leaned on hooks in choruses. Instead, they put their strength in an ADHD formula of rapid tempo switches and swirling noise. All of those elements still remain on the band's newest effort, 'Long Live' -- but they've grown into a new kind of unrest...

'Long Live' truly stretches the Chariot beyond just being a chaotic hardcore band with a devastatingly powerful live show. The band's forthcoming fourth full-length sees old boundaries becoming well forgotten, and no song shows that evolution more than 'David De La Hoz...

Since their 2004 birthing, the Chariot have stayed in a state of constant movement. Even with inescapable lineup changes, the Georgia-based band has taken little to no break from the road and their structure-abandoning live shows. "We're very gung ho," frontman Josh Scogin told Noisecreep about how the band approaches tour life...

The Chariot will pole vault their way onto holiday wish lists. The band will release their noise-soaked new album, 'Long Live,' on Nov. 23 via new label Good Fight Music after a long relationship with Solid State Records. It's a time of change for the Georgia band, but they aren't running from it...

This past spring and early summer, the Chariot toured European countries on their Tours and Rumors of Tours Tour (say that three times fast) with Iwrestledabearonce. The Georgia experimental metal band have gone overseas many times before, and one particular time there was an interesting situation on a stop in England on the way back stateside...

The first release from Douglasville, Ga.'s the Chariot, titled 'Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead and Nothing Is Bleeding' was recorded live and raw. There were some noticeable mistakes here and there, but the execution was well-done...

You might've thought that the Chariot would have been out of their element on a tour with gargantuan rap-metallers P.OD. -- but the Douglasville, Ga. act was picked precisely because they weren't as accessible. P.O.D.'s management was considering doing a large tour with radio-promoted bands...
