Destroy The Video: Press Release
CHIMAIRA is offering fans the chance to put their own spin on the band’s newest video for “Destroy and Dominate.” Fans are encouraged to download the video stem files from chimaira.com/destroythevideo and edit their own version. The new versions can be uploaded to CHIMAIRA’s YouTube, and the band will hand-pick their favorite three videos. The grand-prize winner will receive the limited edition box set version of The Infection plus tickets to the band’s upcoming US tour! The second- and third-prize winners will receive tickets and/or CHIMAIRA merch.
Singer Mark Hunter commented on the contest: “We’re all really proud of what friend and director Todd Bell put together for ‘Destroy and Dominate’ but we were also curious to see what other people would be able to do with the video. We wanted to give fans the chance to have access to the footage and edit their own version of the video. We are curious to see some other takes on it. Fans can submit their video to our YouTube. We’re gonna pick the best one and give them one of our limited editon box sets. We’ll pick a winner July 10th.”
“I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with. I’m sure we’ll see some amazing, some funny and some terrible versions. We’re looking forward to seeing them all. I can’t wait to do my own version too, hell I might even use the footage to make a new Chimaira video!”
CHIMAIRA recently wrapped up a support run on the Music As A Weapon tour with Disturbed, and are now looking ahead to a string of headlining dates leading up to the Decimation of the Nation tour this summer with Hatebreed. Full US tour dates are listed here.

European Tour
CHIMAIRA and UNEARTH team up for European Tour This Fall
New album “The Infection” out now on Nuclear Blast
Cleveland groove metallers CHIMAIRA have just announced a European tour alongside their old friends from Boston, UNEARTH, as well as California´s straight-edge outfit THROWDOWN. After a highly successful US tour supporting the likes of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and DISTURBED, CHIMAIRA are finally going to hit Europe and spread the infection!
Commented CHIMAIRA singer Mark Hunter: “We’re very excited to get back to Europe and headline. We’ll be playing a bunch of new countries we’ve never been to, including Russia. We plan to play a great mixture of old and new songs, and we’re bringing some of the best bands our genre has to offer with us.“
CHIMAIRA recently released their new album, The Infection, which entered the German album chart on #86 and landed at #28 on the UK´s official Indie charts. The album was their second on Nuclear Blast after 2007´s critically-acclaimed Resurrection, and the tour marks their first European visit since a hugely successful headlining run back in March 2008.
Musically, The Infection delivers ten doses of intensity and integrity to cleanse you of the festering mediocrity happening in music today. Roll up your sleeves because this is going to leave a mark. Make sure you catch the band live on stage while they devastate Europe!
