Just quit already

Next week, Chimaira will lose a guitar player. The week after that, their vocalist.

time to end

they're just falling apart

Whoa, that's one BIG line up change. Emil is a great guitar player but having him on bass might just be a waste of talent. Having the Daath vocalist do backups or whatever might be pretty sweet though.

Chimardaath

damnit

Yeah these guys are done

Half the band is fucking gone now. I don't know how to feel about the new album, I hope theres some memorable riffs though.

^ Drummer seems to insist that its awesome

They've always sucked.

Oh great. They've lost so many band members that I think they're done for.

I reckon they'll release the album then call it quits, and do a farewell tour. Just got a hunch

So, the vocalist is also the backing vocalist now?
Wtf?

Always been a fan of this band but they are past their prime.

So, the vocalist is also the backing vocalist now?
Wtf?


And what?

"DAATH Vocalist Sean Zatorsky
replacing Chris Spiccuza on Keyboards/Backing Vocals."

Like, wouldn't that just be vocals then, instead of backing vocals, since the lead vocalist is also doing the backing vocals?

WAAAAIT, DAATH is a totally different band huh?
I don't know what I'm talking about, ignore me
I'm too tired to be commenting on here obviously.

Andols is pretty awesome so he's a big loss, but I did love DAATH's first release...this might turn out half decent

it's been all downhill since resurrection

Andols was pretty much the reason I still had an interest in this band.

Was never really interested in these guys. Saw them live, didn't think much of them. Members seem to be dropping like flies.

I like the Impossibility of Reason, but that's about it from these guys. Some of the members from Chimaira used to be in a local band called Skipline that had some really good hardcore songs. I have a demo cassette of theirs. Pretty much impossible to hear any of these songs now.

Actually, I found most of the tracks!

You can sample them on here.

Resurrection was excellent, imho.

Most likely breaking up now.

WTF, they need to find him

I didn't know more than 3 ppl listened to this poop

uh oooooooooooooh

Anyone want to take bets on who quits next?

If they can ever put together another smashing album like the s/t, I would be a fan again.

Exactly. I was hoping they would drop the Keyboards completely damn it. They still have their guitarists, so I'm hoping
for something like their self-titled with memorable riffs. The new album could be very disappointing though.

It's funny because Andols was never even on the s/t and that album is by far their best.

Kevin Talleys drum performance on the self-titled was fucking awesome. He was much more aggressive than Andols.

He definitely was, but he was pretty much doing the standard metal drumming. It was definitely affective on the s/t as it really emphasized the grooves and everything but Andols is a lot more varied in his playing which I also like, especially with the fills and note choices.

Yeah, it went extremely well with the sound of the self-titled, I don't know if I would like it as much if Andols did the drumming on it. I loved the fills Andols had though, he is a good drummer there is no doubt there. Sucks that the band asked him to leave. Apparently they asked him to rejoin after they kicked him out this time but he declined.

Yeah, I just read his statement. I don't get why they'd kick him out and then ask him to come back in, that hardly ever works out.

They had already lost their drummer once before, they'll be fine.

I know, I was thinking the same thing bloc lol.

their drummer is doing private lessons at a place near my house

post-S/T chimaira
Daath sucks

post S/T chimaira + Daath = twice as much suck?

Again?

post-S/T chimaira
Daath sucks

post S/T chimaira + Daath = twice as much suck?

in all honesty, who cares, band has never been able to top the self-titled, and no deviant, Resurrection indeed sucked

Nah

these guys have always been pretty meh to me but andols was a great drummer

Andols is kind of a nut, he left the band once before

come back to us andols

daathmira pretty much

Man, tough break for the band. I look foreward to what the Daath members bring to the table because they have a fairly similar sound about them.

In technical terms, Daath can play several circles around Chimaira.

The title of this article makes it seem like he's disappeared and they have to search for him.

Have a bit of a soft spot for this band as they were one of the first metal bands I really got into (I was like :o this is like Slipknot but better!). Sucks that Andols left, but.. do people really have to be like "omg they're done for!" every time something like this happens? Like bands are never good after significant line-up changes... Fuck, with new members experienced in taking a different approach to the same style, I'd assume this album'll rip off heads better than half their releases. Something'll probably go down iffy (am thinking of the electronics), but they always have some good ideas here and there...

No Kevin Talley ?!?!?!

Kevin is much more of a metal drummer than Andols

yea this band really sucks live
