The Chariot are true artists whose determined passions lead them down winding pathways as they buck trends and avoid formulas. The noisy, rambling, shambling, Southern-fried, punk-infused, heavy metal hardcore band has long rejected the conventions of the genre that surrounds them by refusing to conform to established structures.
The Chariots sound and presentation owe more to At The Drive In, Refused, Nirvana or even The Sex Pistols in spirit and vibe than the formulaic processed sounds of their contemporaries. The burgeoning Noisecore movement of the late 90s and early 00s (Converge, Botch, Isis, Dillinger Escape Plan et al) informed them as well. The Chariot is raw and real, but never lacks sophistication or intelligence in craft.
To fully comprehend The Chariot, one must see, smell, touch, hear and feel a performance up-close-and-personal. One Wing, the bands new album is the closest they have come yet to capturing their kinetic energy and boundless creativity for posterity.
