New Chimaira Video
2009-05-06 by Stephen Abootman | 15 Replies | 550 Views

Cleveland metal band Chimaira have released the video for "Destroy And Dominate". The track is the first single taken from their recently released album The Infection.

The video was filmed/directed by Todd Bell who has worked closely with the band on a number of projects including their [i]Dehumanizing Process[i] live DVD, and another DVD which is due early next year.

Me either.

The album has grown on me a bit, but it's still a disappointment.

Good song and decent video but I miss the up-tempo anthemic chorus and amazing video for Ressurection. Hunter looks even more perturbed than usual i must say.

it is a bit surprising, but Chimaira is a big name so i'm pretty sure many of those 15 000 were fans who would follow them to the grave.

I think this video was filmed in their practice space/where they recorded the album.

Yeah, no killer underdog fight scenes, or closeups on hookers makes me a sad panda. This has a good groove.

Almost as bad as Andols haircut lololol. Actually the Resurrection video was pretty cool.

This, Secrets Of The Dead, The Disappearing Sun and the instrumental are the highlights of the album.This Message Edited On 05.06.09

I really liked the song, but i just could not stand the vid, it was so cheesy. They definitely have a great drummer though.

I agree, but the cheese it what makes it fun.

Yeah Andols is solid. He has a lot of musical theory and can usually bring the more boring tracks to life with interesting fills, double bass patterns. Talley's work was still better on the self titled though imo, but they both have different drumming styles.

both drummers are def good. i think talley was a more standard kind of metal drummer though ie. blast beats and ultra fast fills

andols seems a bit more experimental to me and yeah, he is sometimes the highlight in average songs.

for the most part though on this album he was pretty basic, seems like he got lazy

There's still some nice fills and tom work. I like the double bass in The Disappearing Sun intro as well.

yeah there still is, I just wish he would have done more. I really like the cymbal fills he does on Frozen In Time at 2:50 and 3:05, its so simple but adds so much
