Smother Magazine Band Spotlight: Chimaira

Chimaira are riding strong through the month of October, as their Roadrunner Records debut hit stores on October 2nd and the band has been heavily rumored to be on the pending Slayer/Hatebreed tour in the coming months. What gives this Cleveland outfit the right to be considered quite possibly the best metal band to emerge in the new millenium? One listen to Pass Out of Existence should silence any who would claim Chimaira aren't true metal. Industrial edged seething metal destruction awaits at every turn.
