Watch CHIMAIRA Perform “Divination” and “Lumps” For The First Time in Two Decades

In September 2014, lead vocalist Mark Hunter introduced that Chimaira had been performed. However, that does not appear to be the case anymore.

Properly, be performed with it within the studio, at the very least.

Chimaira additionally simply began their very own file label, White Cobra Data, and rereleased the 2005 self-titled file during which “Lumps” comes from. There is no such thing as a new music as of but, however guitarist Rob Arnold has gone on file stating that Chimaira had been engaged on new music and reunion exhibits main as much as the pandemic, however these plans had been placed on maintain. Time will inform what they do with their new file label.
