Pass Out of Existence is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Chimaira, released on October 2, 2001. According to vocalist Mark Hunter, as of 2003, the band has sold 44,000 copies of the album in the United States alone. 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.[3] Its heavy use of electronics has also been noted.
Prior to the album’s release, the track "Dead Inside" was performed on the short lived USA Network program Farmclub.com. This appearance prompted Roadrunner Records to sign Chimaira.[4] 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 Grey”.
