[2] Early on in the band's career, they released the songs "Crewcabanger" and "Lifeless" as singles, both of which were received well by listening audiences on Myspace.

Not long after this, the band ousted drummer Andrew Carlston, and Kory Shilling took his place, as well as Davis Pugh taking over the full-time bass player position.

The band then was added to a small, week-long Canadian run in June 2009 with The Agonist, A Plea for Purging, Arsonists Get All the Girls and Statik Factory labelmates, Attila.

[4] After the successful tour, fill-in guitar player Jake Harmond decided to become a full-time member, and the band joined into a contract with Artery Foundation representatives, Mike Milford and Eric Rushing whom then booked studio time for Chelsea Grin to record their debut full-length, Desolation of Eden at Lambesis Studios in San Marcos, California during August 2009.

Desolation of Eden was released on February 16, 2010, and reached number 21 on The Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart selling 1,500 copies its first week.

[7][8] With the success of their debut, the band was afterwards featured and praised in Alternative Press, Utah newspapers and many other magazines nationwide and worldwide.

[17] Chelsea Grin finished writing and recording their second full-length album in June 2011, where the title for it was revealed as being My Damnation.

[18] The song "All Hail The Fallen King" featuring Phil Bozeman, vocalist of Whitechapel, also premiered before the record's release.

Chelsea Grin performed at the Soundwave Festival in Australia in February 2013, as well as two sidewave shows with Of Mice & Men and While She Sleeps.

In June 2013, Chelsea Grin released a full cover of the song "Right Now" by Korn, produced by guitarist Dan Jones at the same time he graduated from his BSc Degree.

[27] At the end of June, they were announced as the main support on the Brothers in Arms tour alongside The Amity Affliction, Stick To Your Guns, and In Hearts Wake.

Every song is going to be based on real life: alcoholism, drug abuse, violence and everyday bullshit forced down our throats".

It was at that point where guitarist Dan Jones announced he will not be touring for Chelsea Grin for the rest of the year to pursue science.

The band also acted as support for The Amity Affliction on their October 2015 tour as they joined up with Secrets, Cruel Hand and The Plot in You.

Chelsea Grin also toured for Skin Deep throughout Europe in the Winter of 2017 with Betraying the Martyrs, Make them Suffer & Void of Vision as support.

On January 16, 2018, the band announced that they had entered the studio to begin recording a new album with producer Drew Fulk, along with Emmure's guitarist Josh Travis as a co-producer.

[33] In early 2018, Chelsea Grin were scheduled to complete the North American "Graveyard Shift" tour alongside Motionless in White and Every Time I Die, however were forced to pull out due to lead vocalist Alex Koehler's declining health.

[34] It was also confirmed around this time that guitarist Dan Jones has also left due to his enrollment in medical school at the University of Utah.

The aforementioned announcement would imply that the record was recorded and finished with Koehler on vocals due to the order of which they were announced in, however this was later confirmed not to be the case as he was already replaced with the release of a music video for a new song entitled "Dead Rose" revealing Tom Barber of Lorna Shore as the new singer.
