Chimaira Writing Songs For New Album

After their recent split with Roadrunner records, I can understand that Chimaira would want to keep the interest going by talking about writing for their new album. I can kind of see an early Metallica influence on them in certain ways, like the song length, as their last album (self titled) boasted only one song under five minutes. I also heard a lot more guitar solos and longer breaks on their self titled album.

I also saw them at the Detroit show they did with Arch Enemy, God Forbid and Hate Eternal where Mark Hunter couldn't make the show, which was an interesting experience. It's good to see that as big as they've gotten, they're willing to take bands like Hate Eternal on tour with them.

Blabbermouth
