STREAM CHIMAIRA’S AGE OF HELL

The headline tells you pretty much everything you need to know, but in case your mom dropped you on your head as a baby: Chimaira’s excellent new album, The Age of Hell, is now streaming in-full right here.

And it’s got everything that makes Chimaira albums so great. There’s a really diverse range of styles on here, from the straight-up thrash of the title track to the more Infectious grooves of “Powerless” (possibly my favorite song on Hell), as well as some serious creative risks and surprises… but I kinda don’t wanna ruin those for anyone, ’cause they certainly caught me off-guard (in a good way) the first time I listened to the record. So I’ll just re-emphasize that you should check this shit out, and then weigh in with your opinions in our comments section below.

The Age of Hell comes out tomorrow, August 16, via eOne. The band will be on tour this October with Revocation, Impending Doom, and Rise to Remain; dates should be announced soon. And I’ll have an interview with vocalist Mark Hunter for you as soon as the MetalSucks Mansion Monkeys finish transcribing it.
