Cleveland based metalcore thugs Chimaira are not afraid to add both electronics and hooks to their six man auditory assault.
Their self produced and self released debut EP, "This Present Darkness," sold 10,000 copies.
They toured with Slayer in 2003, then with In Flames in 2003. That same year they got a slot on Ozzfest.
Their name is from the mythological Greek monster Chimera that has a goat's body, a snake for a tail and the head of a lion.
Chimaira is considered part of the NWOAHM, or New Wave of American Heavy Metal. Find all your favorite Chimaira ringtones and Chimaira realtones below.
