Chimaira Crown Of Phantoms

2013, For more than a decade, Chimaira has been imposing its gravity on the metal community by continually touring the globe and selling more than a million albums worldwide. Their brand of heavy music has evolved and transcended both itself and the trends while maintaining its persistent, bludgeoning force. In 2013, Chimaira continues to direct the masses and define a dark future with their new album, CROWN OF PHANTOMS. Injecting new life into the beast that is Chimaira, founding member and band patriarch, Mark Hunter, has assembled a diverse, yet cohesive lineup that features equal doses of surgical technicality and blunt-object violence. For other bands, such an overhaul in the lineup would project unease and a regression in sound, but for Chimaira the reinvention is simply a part of the band's DNA.
