Chained (2019-Present)

Chained is a heavy metallic hardcore band from Charlotte, North Carolina, formed in 2019. The band, inspired by acts like Desolated, Kublai Khan TX, and On Broken Wings, quickly established itself in the North Carolina hardcore scene with a sound marked by brutal intensity and raw emotion. They are known for addressing mental health issues through their lyrics, which serve as a personal and therapeutic outlet for the band members, especially vocalist Phillip Gibson.
