CHIMAIRA To Release New Album In August

April 30, 2005

CHIMAIRA have tapped Colin Richardson (MACHINE HEAD, FEAR FACTORY, NAPALM DEATH) to mix their brand-new self-titled album, which is tentatively due on August 2 via Roadrunner Records. 13 songs have been recorded, with only 10 expected to make the final track listing.

The follow-up to 2003's "The Impossibility of Reason", "Chimaira" was recorded at Spider Studios in Ohio with producer Ben Schigel, who has described the new material as having "more of an epic kind of vibe. The songs are a lot longer, but we found a way to make them long without being boring. Now that it's coming together, it sounds way more brutal."

CHIMAIRA will be teaming up with NILE, ALL THAT REMAINS and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD for a U.S. tour immediately following the Sounds of the Underground trek. The tour will run from August through September and will be hitting a lot of areas CHIMAIRA have not played in a while or at all. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.
