The Profile

Chimaira are an American heavy metal band from Cleveland, Ohio, formed in 1998 and associated with the New Wave of American Heavy Metal. Fronted by Mark Hunter, they are known for the albums The Impossibility of Reason (2003), Chimaira (2005), and Resurrection (2007).

Part of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal; formed in Cleveland, Ohio; fronted by vocalist Mark Hunter. The Impossibility of Reason features production/mixing by Colin Richardson. The 2005 track "Nothing Remains" is dedicated to Dimebag Darrell (as noted in reviews).

Reviews chart Chimaira’s leap from nu metal origins to a heavier, groove-driven NWOAHM force on The Impossibility of Reason. The 2005 self-titled album is praised for weight and darkness but noted as less accessible. Resurrection is hailed as explosive and near-classic. Highlights include Mark Hunter’s vocal range, Slayer-esque flashes, and Colin Richardson’s punchy production.
