Fahrenheit (stylized °Fahrenheit) was a hard rock band from Santiago, Chile, deeply influenced by 1980s and '70s rock artists such as Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe and Skid Row. °Fahrenheit were well known in the Latin-American rock scene for their intense on-stage performance, energetic sound and guitar solos.

Throughout twelve years of career, °Fahrenheit received positive reviews from the media, along with worldwide exposure through MTV and Much Music, breaking new ground in the yet unexplored Spanish rock market.

The band played massive shows in Chile and Mexico, including opening for Evanescence, Mötley Crüe and the "Vive Latino" festival.

After releasing their debut album "Chain Reaction" through Perris Records, the band decided to develop their music in its native language and started working in their first Spanish album, "Nuevos Tiempos", with multi-platinum producer David Prater, known for his work with Dream Theater, Firehouse and the Dirty Dancing movie OST.
