CHALICE The Calm That Was The Storm CD EP (2006)

Three years after Augmented, Chalice came back with a mini album that felt less like a stopgap and more like a band working through something. The Calm That Was The Storm, released in 2006, is the kind of EP that rewards the people who were already paying attention.

Australian gothic doom metal was never a crowded genre, and Chalice were among the few doing it with real conviction, that heavy, melodic pull that sits somewhere between grief and grandeur. This EP captures a moment, smaller in scale than a full length but no less committed to the dark, slow weight that made them worth following in the first place. Local, underappreciated, the real thing.
