Chiraw

Chiraw, fusion of the words: chi and raw. Chi or Qi in its Chinese origin stand for: vital energy and raw just states the pure form of this energy that’s filling the air when Chiraw takes the stage.

Formed and based in Overijssel, the Netherlands since January 2006, Chiraw tries to let their music be heard in every way possible. Setting in with their combination of heavy, energized, brutal riffs, industrial atmospheric samples, crystal clean melodies, killer shouts and ground pounding beats to energize the scene. Inspired by many artists and genres drove this quintet to create “that” of their own.

Chiraw already claimed to be a high driven metal band, for after forming the band they worked their asses of writing material, rehearsing, adjusting etc. until 5 songs were finished. Then Chiraw immediately headed out to the studio to record their first EP: Resurrection. On this 5 track EP you can hear how each member just adds his own element to a song, making it sound like it’s supposed to be, as one massive energized machine.

Now heavily armed with a full repertoire that’s still growing they’re storming the stage playing every pit, bar, club etc. to let their voice be heard.

”We are always writing new material, but nothing is as good as setting fire on stage! So we hope to see you out there” CHIRAW
