Rift
In geology, a rift is a linear zone where the Earth's crust and lithosphere are being pulled apart and is an example of extensional tectonics.
Typical rift features are a central linear downfaulted depression, called a graben, or more commonly a half-graben with normal faulting and rift-flank uplifts mainly on one side. Where rifts remain above sea level they form a rift valley, which may be filled by water forming a rift lake. The axis of the rift area may contain volcanic rocks, and active volcanism is a part of many, but not all active rift systems.
Major rifts occur along the central axis of most mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust and lithosphere is created along a divergent boundary between two tectonic plates.
Failed rifts are the result of continental rifting that failed to continue to the point of break-up. Typically the transition from rifting to spreading develops at a triple junction where three converging rifts meet over a hotspot. Two of these evolve to the point of seafloor spreading, while the third ultimately fails, becoming an aulacogen.

Chasm: The Rift
Chasm: The Rift (also known as Chasm: The Shadow Zone) is a first-person shooter computer game developed by Action Forms and published in 1997 by GT Interactive Software, WizardWorks Software, and Megamedia Corp. Action Forms would later develop the Carnivores series.
Gameplay
The player takes on the role of an unnamed Marine whose mission is to stop the so-called "Timestrikers", mutant beings invading different time epochs, from taking over Earth. On this mission, he visits various locations ranging from military bases in the present to Pharaonic tombs in ancient Egypt. All of the levels involve dark corridors, often like that of catacombs and crypts.
One of the most notable features of the game was the ability to remove limbs from enemies.
The Timestrikers
The Timestrikers are an alien faction attempting to overtake Earth. Using military technology and energy leaks, they can invade different time epochs.
The military had already known about the existence it seems of the Timestrikers, and had been monitoring them. However, they then believed that it was the Timestrikers causing massive energy leaks throughout the military bases causing rifts, allowing the Timestrikers to flood into our dimension. First attempting to take out a military installation, they mutated guards and soldiers, and added in their own forces as well. However they were pushed back by a Marine, who then followed them back to Ancient Egypt, where it seemed that they would take over the world from the past. Failing again, they escaped to Medieval times, and after that, left again to come back to the present. There, the last of the Timestrikers were defeated, and the world was safe.

Revenge Rises / Drowned In The Mournful Blood
by: ChasmI have found the grey pestilence, where my hate was born
and through the veins of misery,
the battle is flowing within...
When my tragedy was forged in Blood,
The Pain and Anger rest and waited for the Centuries of
Conquering to come as I awaited in the Inner Temple.
Run to the immense horizon, 'coz I'll find the real
Betrayers, destroy every feeling of their weakness,
For my kingdom (I've) built in Blood.
Drowned in the Mournful Blood,
The Pleasure to deform the time,
I'm bonded with pride and Strength, 'coz I'm Drowned in
