On December 6, Portland, Oregon extreme metal trio Chasma will release the vinyl version of their debut full-length album Declarations of the Grand Artificer via The Mylene Sheath (CD and digital available November 22 on Moribund Records). Formed in 2008 by members of Nanda Devi and Alter of Earth, Chasma began as a side-project to experiment with yet another form of extreme metal. After performing two years of shows with the likes of Wolves in the Throne Room, Bloody Panda, Trees, Thou, Nux Vomica, and Fell Voices, Chasma guitarist Tony Komforty departed the project and was replaced by Klaus Maza of the LA crust band Sheeeeeeeep.
