Pass Out of Existenceis the debutstudio albumby Americanheavy metalband, Chimaira, released on October 2, 2001. Pass Out of Existence features an altogether different sound when compared to the band's later albums, leaning more towards nu metal rather than the groove metal style featured in later material. Its heavy use of electronics has also been noted.Unlike other Chimaira records,Pass Out of Existence was recorded withseven-string guitarsin Dropped A tuning. It emphasizes programming and sampling and, consequently, has been considered less heavy than Chimaira's following albums.Pass Out of Existence features re-recordings of two songs that were included on the band’s previous release,This Present Darkness, which are “Sphere†and “Painting the White to Greyâ€. The ROG deluxe 3LP anniversary edition includes demos making their debut on a physical format as well as a previously unreleased live show from Orlando, FL in 2002.
