- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

   Atlanta-based Christian alternative metal act the Chariot is a showcase for
   singer Josh Scogin. Formerly frontman for the popular Christian nu-metallers
   Norma Jean (originally known as Luti-Kriss, before Dirty South rapper
   Ludacris eclipsed their limited popularity), Scogin left Norma Jean for
   undisclosed personal reasons in 2003, following the release of their second
   album. Largely dispensing with the rap-rock and nu-metal aspects of Norma
   Jean in favor of a punkier metalcore direction, Scogin almost immediately
   formed the Chariot with members of other area metal and CCM groups. The
   original lineup of the Chariot consisted of Scogin, singer and guitarist
   Keller Harbin, guitarist Tony Medina, bassist Joshua Beiser, and drummer Jeff
   Carter. Signing to the popular Christian indie rock label Solid State Records
   in 2004, the band debuted later that year with the almost operatically titled
   Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead and Nothing Is
   Bleeding. Following the subsequent release of a live DVD, Ladies and
   Gentlemen, the Chariot, Medina and Carter left the band; new drummer Mark
   Nicks debuted on the 2005 EP Unsung, but was replaced by Jake Ryan before
   sessions began for the band's second full-length, The Fiancee. After the
   album was recorded, Beiser and Harbin left the Chariot (Harbin joining Every
   Time I Die) and were replaced by Jon Terry and Dan Eaton in time for an
   extensive North American package tour with other bands from the Solid State
   Records roster. Delayed by the rapid changeover in band personnel, The
   Fiancee eventually surfaced in early April 2007 with new bassist Jon "KC
   Wolf" Kindler on board. 2009 saw the release of their anti-war album, Wars
   and Rumors of Wars.
