There are five bands with a similar name: 1. "The Chariot" The Chariot is a chaotic metalcore band from Douglasville, Georgia. They are signed to newly formed label Good Fight Music after putting out their prior three studio albums through Solid State Records. The Chariot was formed in 2003 by ex-Norma Jean front man Josh Scogin.

Their debut full length album "Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, And Nothing Is Bleeding" was recorded entirely in one take, and was unmastered, which gave it more of a raw feel that was very similar to their live sound. Their wild and maniacal behavior onstage helped create a great impression for them in the underground, and despite numerous lineup changes they have managed to keep this reputation alive for the duration of their career. In the winter of 2005, they released an EP entitled "Unsung" which featured two new songs, and four re-recordings from "Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, And Nothing Is Bleeding." This EP saw The Chariot's chaotic, feedback-inducing sound replaced by slightly more polished production, while still containing the rather harsh songwriting that they had become known for. On April 3rd of 2007, they released their second full-length album called "The Fiancee." This album followed suit with the "Unsung EP", as the production was more well-defined and evened out.

The last track on the album is the first and last verses of a hymn called "The Trumpet," sung by The Sacred Harp Singers choir (www.awakemysoul.com). The Sacred Harp Singers also sang at the end of "And Shot Each Other," and "Then Came To Kill" is a re-recording of "Kenny Gibler (Play The Piano Like A Disease)" from the "Unsung EP", and features Hayley Williams, the lead singer of Paramore on vocals. In 2008, Dan Eaton and Jake Ryan left the band to pursue their band Queens Club. Jon Terry also left the band, but Jon Kindler, the bassist, stayed, marking the first time in the history of The Chariot that one member of the line-up had stayed for more than one album (with the exception of Josh Scogin, as to many he is The Chariot). ...show less
