Artist: Chimaira

Album: The Infection (Apr 23, 2009)

Chimaira is a six-membered groove metal/metalcore band from Cleveland, Ohio, whose name comes from a monster in ancient Greek mythology: a lion, with an additional head of a goat located in the neck, and a snake as its tail. Its members describe the band as being of "The new wave of American Heavy metal" and are firmly in the post-thrash metalcore slot in their music style. Chimaira was formed in 1998, composing itself of Mark Hunter (Vocals), Jason Hager (Guitar), Rob Arnold (Guitar), Jim LaMarca (Bass), Andols Herrick (Drums) and Chris Spicuzza (Keyboards and Electronics).
