CHIMAIRA Frontman Forced To Sit Out Baltimore Concert
October 12, 2011Cleveland, Ohio metallers CHIMAIRA performed last night (Tuesday, October 11) at Sonar in Baltimore, Maryland without frontman Mark Hunter, who came down with a severe stomach flu. Taking over on lead vocals was the band's samplist/programmer Sean Zatorsky, who also sings for DTH.
Commented Hunter: "I would like to extend thanks to the fans in Baltimore for understanding my absence from last night's gig. I wound up with a severe stomach flu and was throwing up every few minutes. Then I went to the hospital. They gave me fluids and meds."
Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below.
CHIMAIRA's new album, "The Age Of Hell", sold more than 7,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 54 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "The Infection", opened with 15,000 units back in April 2009 to land at No. 30. This figure was roughly in line with the first-week tally registered by CHIMAIRA's 2007 album, "Resurrection", which shifted 16,000 copies to enter the chart at No. 42.
"The Age Of Hell" was released in the U.S. on August 16 via eOne Music; in Germany on August 26; and in the United Kingdom, Australia and the rest of Europe on August 29 through Long Branch Records.
