Thanks to “Adam Adams” for sending the below preview footage from new Todd Bell-directed Chimaira DVD, which is set to be released in 2010. It’s the second preview we’ve gotten, after last week’s awesome footage of the band performing “The Disappearing Sun.” This time we get to see the band prepping just before they take [...]
There’s been so much awesome metal this year that even thinking about doing a 2009 “best of” list gives me so much agita that I have already devoted at least one and possibly three complete therapy sessions to the topic. But one album that I know has a reserved spot on that list: Chimaira’s The [...]
Chimaira rhythm guitarist Matt DeVries is sitting out the remainder of the band’s European tour so that he can be home in time for the birth of his son. Filling in for him for the rest of the European dates is Emil Werstler of DAATH.DeVries will be back on stage with the band for the [...]

The tune will be released on May 7.“We’re very excited to be a part of Guitar Hero, because we’re all huge fans of the game,” states vocalist Mark Hunter. [...]

Hey there metal f*ckers! Another blog for another month, and yet I find myself writing it with a similar hangover. October was a somewhat quiet month for Atlanta shows, but there was really just one that I was worried about: the almighty Metallica.If you don’t know, I am a HUGE Metallica fan. I don’t care [...]
I listened to The Infection over the weekend for the first time in a little while. Guess what? Still kills. I can’t wait to see some of this shit played live.Here’s a not-so-great quality bootleg of the band playing the first cut off the album, “The Venom Inside.” As Vince says, “This song just makes [...]
OK, since everyone that isn't already talking about the Arcade Fire will be soon (the album is fantastic!), I don't want to add to the over-hype.Instead, let me talk a bit about the new Chimaira album, Resurrection. This is for those with too much metal for one hand, so if you don't dig this kind of music, there won't be anything here to persuade you. But if you do. . .I had almost written th...
I've never seen the show Mythbusters before, but it's premise seems fairly self-explanatory. MetalSucks maniac and fellow Chimaira lovah Ray Pecheone sent me this clip from a recent episode about the effects of talking to and playing different kinds of music for plants. At around the 1:12 mark, they play "Pure Hatred," which, I imagine, [...]
Chimaira have posted the latest webisode on the making of their new, still-untitled fifth album, which will come out on April 28 of '09. Not all of the webisodes have really been worth watching for anyone but the most die hard Chimaira fans, but this new one shows the band in their rehearsal space working [...]
So as you may have heard by now, Chimaira are allowing fans to watch them live in the studio as they record their new album. The way it works is, you go to their official site and if the "Live Cam" icon in the upper right corner of the screen is red, you can click [...]
--- - |- Well, no, not really. The above photo of alleged “song titles,” all references to MetalSucks’ favorite construction paper-animated satirical sitcom, comes from a studio blog the band has just launched to keep fans in the loop with regards to progress on their new album, which will be produced by Jason Suecof and released in ‘09. The [...] ~~- Chimaira
Chimaira are one those bands that take a lot of shit and never really understand why. Is it because their Roadrunner debut, Pass Out of Existence, was a not especially great Korn-esque foray into nu metal? Does it really fucking matter? Every album they’ve made since (or, for that matter, This Present Darkness, the independently [...]~~
