Chimaira Interview (January 2012)

[@MrHibbsComedy]

I thought Grigori Rasputin died in 1916?

[@CoReYcRaCkDoWn]

Before The Age Of Heel, I was convinced the band was ruined. But after the album came out, and I listened to it a few times, it became obvious that Mark really is the key point of this band. As long as Mark is around, Chimaira will live.

[@funkmasterjoe1]

Sean Z, you ROCK. I am proud and humbled to say we were band members.Keep killing it. You are a true friend.

[@SuperDeerdance]

WOW ITS SO COOL TO HEAR FROM THESE GUYS AGAIN STILL LOVE THEIR SONG EVERYTHING YOU LOVE \M/ Chimaira FOR LIFE

[@chapperbone]

I love Chimaira, and hope you guys are around for along time to come. I f I have to learn every song in your catalogue, I'll be your guitar player. Dream come true. Cheers!

[@THECHIMA1RA]

I Love the Fact that Each album Sounds Kinda Different It Give Chimaira Their own Unique Sound And its another Reason I Fucking love them

[@Warheart11]

Fucking great guys. I'm so happy like half of Daath joined Chimaira. Two of my favorite groove metal bands in one... It's enough to bribng a tear to my eye...

[@Blivinity]

Mark is fucking epic Long live chimaira.. as long as he is there.

[@METALHEADNATEPSNID]

still my favorite band of all time in metal

[@Metal666Mark]

Just found out/realized that the self-titled came out back in 2005. I'm beginning to feel old :p

[@brandoania]

R.I.P. Chimaira

[@troyherriman580]

Dat beard doe

[@KeithDaviesMusic]

Sean said the he didn't realise people bought CD's anymore? Man... I'd buy a CD over a download ANY DAY!! When I buy an album I buy it for the artwork, the story of the band that is written inside the CD booklets etc etc.. It's not all about the music for me. I love to have a nice little piece that is relevant to that particular album. I hate the idea of Mp3 downloads. You lose all the booklet artwork, the lyrics, the band notes and even the glorious printed CD too. I get that you could possibly find all that online, but it's NOT the same! I like the CD package, always have, and always will.

[@metallarklemon]

just a fucking epic band hands down chimaira 4 life :)

[@joesurfer9754]

This is the best band that ever existed since Black Sabbath.

[@lastlife333]

[@xMayflyx]

I just wanted to know how to pronounce their name.

[@gilesguest4]

Chi me ra is how in pronounce it

[@brisk2838]

+Giles “DevilDriver” Guest Think it's Kai Mer uh, that's how I've heard them say it at least

[@gilesguest4]

Well I guess it depends what country you come from and what accent you have. We all have different accents.

[@brisk2838]

Giles Guest that's what i thought about too lol

[@JobForAMaxboy]

[@wreckingball28]

[@ravenchimera]

[@AlexanderSylchuk]

It is really cool to have Jesus in your band.

[@joetempa1092]

I like Disgorge. Consume for the saken is a top notch album.

[@metalliman34]

their new bass player is a fuckkin goooooobbber!!!

[@bradklein4285]

How do I buy your cd

[@adamwalker9420]

They need to bring their asses on a huge tour across the country and hit every major city. I want to see them live but dont feel like shelling out the dough to drive up north to do it.

[@tapeboi321]

At least Mark isnt gone. he IS chimaira

[@Blunterx420]

is insane!

[@karinsiemers6784]

Im good as long as your making your sick music!

[@Davephatbuds]

I remember when they use to show Uranium of basic cable. Back in the early 2000's. Now you have to pay extra to see it. What the fuck.

[@30aenima986]

wow man the whole band is gone must be hard for mark

[@josiah620]

[@chumbakett]

Most Metal Snot I've ever seen

[@konnod321]

[@FisterSister1]

[@hohnermode11]

The economy hit Chimaira like news of an ex-wife married to a dude thats richer, younger and better looking than you.

[@SaladDressing69]

This is actually pretty fucking exciting for me, now we have Chimaira + Daath. This is some hybrid metal right here.

[@Mattelliott1234]

He looks SO fucking much like Rasputin.

[@LaryAndTheLobsters]

EPIC BEARD IS EPIC

[@SoldierUnknown16]

[@frederickjaquez8726]

[@hohnermode11]

Ohh shit dude my bad man. And respect for replying decently even though I totally dissed you. Also what you said makes fuckin good sense now hehe. He got your hand-me-down and its not like she a fine wine gettin better with age.

[@666themartyr]

Andols and Chris left before the went into the recording studio...Matt and rob left and Last years Chimaira Christmas show

[@g.sixone4939]

I definitely bought at least one of every fucking album. CD. too bad at least I still have those. "economy" didn't stop me from purchasing discs and going to shows for ten years. still pissed. unfortunate.

[@kkiddeath]

[@codemister7]

[@dstockell2]

you're not Chris man

[@hohnermode11]

nobody recognizes the guitarist. Without Rob (and Mark) there is no chimaira

[@CHEIFUMS]

Biggest Beard in oHIGHo, i think \,,/

[@davidromero867]

Daathmaira !! jaja

[@bubbacalling]

I’m it’s mad because Roadrunner essentially ruined this band, they gave no promotion to the self titled which should have been their push to the next level but instead Roadrunner blew most of their budget into Slipknots ‘vol.3’ record which came out the same year. Chimaira just went through the motions with their next albums which weren’t as good as the impossibility of reason and self titled, and then just went out with a poof of air.

[@bubbacalling]

very true, although in fairness the self titled was a bit bloated. Great riffs here and there but each song was almost 6 minutes long, which contrasted with the punchy/in-your-face nature of the impossibility of reason. Good album but if they were expecting that record to blast them into the stratosphere I think they missed the mark a bit. This is all just my opinion of course.

[@Edmasterz]

Fuck Yeah! Mark Hunter = Chimaira.

[@joshimawashi]

Mark Hunter and...Rasputin????

[@jonugg]

wow.... now that is a beard. AGREED Rasputin lol

[@JobForAMaxboy]

Because he can, and his beard is more thick and manly than 99% of guys out there, so why not haha

[@fivestringbassplayr]

i still buy cds i refuse to use itunes

[@herbertwest9626]

I didn't know Christian Orthodox monks were into that kind of music.

[@deon91]

fuck the record labels, just make songs and rock the fuck out! \m/ \m/

[@dariocp87]

holy fucking big beard!!! hahaha

[@MegaSlaze]

[@dofiv]

[@30aenima986]

[@Aardolar]

SATAN'S WIZARD!

[@lern2swim]

Can we get one fucking interview with a musician where they don't talk about the fucking business bullshit anymore????

[@dstockell2]

The change up was a sell out

[@wolfhammer88]

these guys really are no more, i can careless if their a band or not, their music just became boring, theres no more stand outs anymore

[@Snakepit4321]

why have a beard to that degree. why

[@brianfinton7680]
