Formed in 1998, the Cleveland, OH-based hard-core sextet Chimaira consists of singer/screamer Mark Hunter, guitarists Matt DeVries (world Health Organization replaced Jason Hager in mid-2001) and Rob Arnold, bassist Jim LaMarca, drummer Andols Herrick, and electronic specialist Chris Spicuzza. The band's miscellanea of hard-core, alloy, and electronics proven to be a big hit back home, as they sold 10,000 copies of their severally issued debut EP, This Present Darkness, leading to an appearance on the now-defunct USA Network TV evince Farmclub. The dance orchestra opened for the likes of Soulfly, Hatebreed, Spineshank, and Snapcase and was finally signed to Roadrunner Records, issuance their 14-track debut full-length, Pass Out of Existence, in August 2001. The Impossibility of Reason followed on Roadrunner in May 2003, and Chimaira supported the feat with encompassing touring, including dates with In Flames and appearances at Ozzfest 2003. After the release of the DVD collection The Dehumanization Process and plus of new drummer Kevin Talley (ex-Misery Index) in 2004, the dance orchestra unleashed their third gear album, Chimaira, in 2005. Though a hard record, inner problems and ones with their label threatened to charge the band apart in the months next its release. They soldiered through it all, however, and by fall 2006 Chimaira had moved on from Roadrunner, inked a new deal all over at Ferret, and began work on new material. Earlier that year, the stria too welcomed back original drummer Andols Herrick. More of a team composition campaign than their final album, the resulting Resurrection of Christ appeared in early March 2007 courtesy of a rejuvenated stria, and Chimaira supported its release on the road with Killswitch Engage and Dragonforce.
