Mission Accomplished
chimaira fans are the best, fuck the rest….
official press blurb below! we did it friends. we beat res in chart position!
CHIMAIRA has exploded onto the Billboard Top 200 charts with the debut of their crushing new album, The Infection. The album landed at #30, with over 15,000 units sold. The Infection is the band’s fifth studio album and the follow up to their acclaimed 2007 release, Resurrection¸ which debuted at #42 on Billboard.
Vocalist Mark Hunter commented on The Infection’s success: “We can’t thank our fans enough for supporting this album and spreading the word. In this day and age, when sales are down, and the economy is shit, the fact that we sold what we did is a miracle. We owe it to our fans for keeping us a relevant, top-tier band in the metal genre. Our fans really helped promote this album and it’s just as much of a celebration for them as it is for us.”
CHIMAIRA is also pleased to announce that one of the tracks from The Infection, ‘On Broken Glass,’ will be available as a downloadable track for Guitar Hero World Tour. The song will be available starting May 7, as part of the Ferret Music/Metal Blade Track Pack, which also contains The Devil Wears Prada’s ‘Dez Moines’, and Unearth’s ‘Grave of Opportunity’.
“We’re very excited to be a part of Guitar Hero, because we’re all huge fans of the game,” added Hunter. “We’ve been playing since it came out, and we finally have the opportunity to have one of our songs in the game. It’s a dream come true. Fans are gonna have a really hard time with this track on expert, that’s for sure!”

Matt… how have I missed all these fanfuckintastic events in your life and the band. I was jumping up and down when i saw your face and so proud of you and all you have accomplished since we first met. Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how exciting it all is. i have to say I don’t see Savannah or anywhere close to come support you and scream my brains out with enthusiam LIKE i HAVE DONE IN THE PAST WITH HEATER. If I can’t come to a show just know that I am thinking of you and wishing you ALL the very best this year. BUT REMEMBER…We Own a restaurant so there is always plenty of food and more importantly BOOZE, BEER ETC the next time you role through town (HINT! HINT!). P.S. PATRICK JUST CHIMMED IN …I THINK THE FIRST TIME I MET HIM WAS AT THE CACTUS MOON WITH ADDY AND SHANNON – YEARS AGO!!! AWESOME. NEXT THING YOU KNOW OUR 4 YEAR OLD \BO\ IS GOING TO TAKE ME TO THE MUSIC STORE TO BUY YOUR GUITAR. THANKS ALOT…KEEP US INSPIRED…I LOVE IT. XOXOX TO YOU, KEEP ON ROCKIN YOUR SWEET SELF…JENNY
Very proud to be a part of this. I keep talking about you guys and I take pride in saying you’re my favorite metal band. You guys continue to grow, you continue to DESTROY AND DOMINATE! CHEERS FUCKERS! Here’s to another 10 years!
CONGRATULATIONS CHIMAIRA!!!

you really deserve success, really well done guys
great work on the new album, love it
its either the very best or best underneath TIOR

CHIMAIRA = METAL GODS ABOVE ALL!
On Broken Glass is one of my favourites by Chimaira now, and im sure il persuade my mates to get this song so i can play it on their Guitar Hero games!
really well done! can’t thankyou enough for this great new album
5 stars
-Joseph Long
Amazing album. Your simply the best band in the world! I hope the next album will be a mixture of infection and TIOR, as they’re kickass albums. Well they’re all awesome albums!! Funny really, i used to be a Slipknot fan through and through. They were by favourite band by far. But after every album they seem to have gotten worse. You guys on the other hand keep making a better album every time! You are now by far my favourite band..ever!! Fav songs are nothing remains, the dehumanising process and the disappearing. Keep up the epic albums! m/
Can’t wait to play on broken glass on guitar hero, downloading it the minute its avaliable! Sooo gonna go on expert drums. Andols you are a god man!
ok so this is WAY off topic, but where can I find Paralyzed and Kingdom Of Heartache on Resurrection….I have the CD/DVD set but nothing is coming up on my computer.
and again cngrats for outdoing Resurrection on the charts
Dear Chimaira,
Thank you.
P.S. Rob Arnold is a guitar god
Every chimaira album is different and awesome in every sort of way i love chimaira and it’s new album!
Chimaira is the best and you guys better get your asses to the netherlands cuz i’ll be on the front row!!!
Rock on chimaira,
Zeno – Leiden, the netherlands
the bonus track warpath is fucking awesome… really great that people outside of the US have another bonus track, that keeps the variation high.
Yeah I’d love to hear Convictions and Warpath, but I dont have those bonus tracks.
ThatGuyOverThere, you must buy the Making of the Ressurection DVD to hear Paralyzed and Kingdom Of Heartache. And I don’t mean the Cd/DVD, but only the DVD! Or of course you can hear the bonus tracks for The infection and resurrection on youtube…
Gongratz Chimaira! You guys are just getting better and better for every year! The world will soon be infected by the Chimaira virus! I’m already infected and I’ll always be! Here’s to another 10 years!
Yes warpath is awesone, it’s the bonus track in France !
Thanx Chimaira for this great album and please come to France.
Congrats guys, awesome album! Looking forward to playing your song on GH soon.
Congrats.
On a side note, The Infection is awesome. I’m not sure if it’s your best yet, but Warpath, Destroy and Dominate and On Broken Glass are killer songs. Can’t wait to get the guitar hero song downloaded.
