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. Chimaira has been a staple in most every underground hardcore/metal fan's playlist, and with their new album, Chimaira are sure to unleash hell worldwide with their brilliant metal precision. Chimaira is the remedy for metal fans sickened by the recent "nu-metal" disease infesting the country.
