CHAINED is the latest of upcoming christian metal bands hailing from Sweden. Since the beginning in 2006 CHAINED's goal has been to deliver thrashy groove metal in a mixture of raw power, attitude and aggression that proclaims the word of God and the good news that Jesus Christ died and resurrected for the sins of mankind. CHAINED has been described as a “radical worship band” and a “very heavy attitude filled band with a positive message, that will sweep you away with pounding rythms and melodies”. From heavy grooves and thunderous riffs to powerful ballads CHAINED can guarantee a thrash metal experience with the focus on Jesus Christ that will leave no one untouched. This album is the official release of their 2009 debut album "Grateful Sinner". This time CHAINED has combined forces with Liljegren Records and put out this retitled re-release with a special live and unplugged bonus track. For those of you who love thrashy groove metal, you will not be disappointed. And for those you who already heard CHAINED, you will love the bonus track. Featured guest on the album is hardrock-pastor Bob Beeman from Nashville, TN, USA. Said about CHAINED: "But fundamentally, like the entire album, it's well-grounded kick-a**, take no prisoners, old school metal. American Christian bands could learn a lesson in heavy metal history and Christian persuasion from Chained. Recommended." - DangerDog 2010 "For fans of faith-based metal, this one rocks like hell…or perhaps more accurately, will rock the hell out of you." - Hardrock Heaven 2010 "Groove metal and old-school thrash fans, check this out - definitely worth your pocket money!" - Power of Metal (dk) 2011 "The music here is without a doubt heavy but features notable melody structures at the same time. And that is what makes this such a successful release: You are not going to be bored by endless repetition or cringing at the vocal delivery. The forthright lyrics and focused musicianship only adds to the albums appeal." - Angelic Warlord 2009 "I have never heard a sound with riffs like this. For me the best way to describe this song is this: "The empitome of thrash!"" - KrushRadio 2009
