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 [...]~~

Alright. So if you’ve watched the excellent, Todd Bell-directed “Making Of” DVD that accompanies the deluxe edition of Chimaira’s latest, The Infection - or, for that matter, if you’ve just listened closely to the lyrics - you know that Danny Boyle’s sci-fi opus Sunshine was an influence on the lyrics for the song “The Disappearing [...]

Clevland's CHIMAIRA have posted their new single, "Secrets of the Dead" on their MySpace page. The track comes off their The Infection release, set to be in stores 4/21. The single packs a heavy punch but ultimately, I would say that I'm over Chimaira. Nothing new going on there. That's my opinion. What do [...]

So, as they did when recording Resurrection, Chimaira are doing some of those short "webisodes" to chronicle the making of their new, as-yet-untitled album, and the latest chapter lets us hear a tenny-tiny piece of a new riff. Obviously thirty-seconds isn't enough to judge - but even this little snippet sounds as evil as Karl Rove [...]

“Secrets of the Dead” is so fucking good that it’s just made us that much hungrier for Chimaira’s for new album, The Infection. So hungry, in fact, that last week we posted crappy-quality fan filmed footage of another new song, “Destroy and Dominate” - footage so weak that you could barely hear the actual music.Well, [...]

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...

This morning I read on Metal Underground that there’s a band called Kimaera. And I’d just like to take this opportunity to say that everyone in this band is clearly some kind of mental midget. Even if I wasn’t a huge Chimaira fan, it would be hard to encourage another band to use a name [...]

Alright. First thing’s first: we have heard The Infection. It slays. Fucking SLAYS, dude. I’ll post a full review real soon, but for now, just know that listening to this record might kill your grandma.As with Chimaira’s last album, Resurrection, there will be a special edition of The Infection that comes with a making of [...]

Few children’s authors are more metal than Roald Dahl. Think about it: besides perhaps The Brothers Grimm, what other writer of stories for young ‘uns are as full of violent death? More fucked up things happen in The Witches than every work by Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss combined.(Roald Dahl was also a raging anti-semite. [...]

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 [...]
