CHIMAIRA AND BEN SCHIGEL: REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD
Thursday, September 18th, 2008 at 2:00pm by Axl RosenbergHere’s the Chimaira story for the week: even though it had been previously announced that the band would be making their new album with producer Jason Suecof, with whom they worked on 2007’s Resurrection, they are, instead, reuniting with Ben Schigel. Schigel was originally the vocalist for Switched, one of the worst nu metal bands these old ears have heard, but he did an awesome job producing two previous Chimaira albums, The Impossibility of Reason and Chimaira (He’s also worked with Walls of Jericho and – ugh – Drowning Pool.).
Lest you doubt that Schigel and Chimaira are a winning combination, here’s the video for “Save Ourselves” from their self-titled album. The song slays, even if the video is one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

They split up and reunited with their former/current drummer as well, these lads are just in it for the make up sex.
Love this album, still rate it higher than their last.
Funny story…I used to think Nu Metal was the best thing since sliced bread back in the day and bought the Sw1tched cd and fucking loved it…Fast Forward to 2008 I found the cd buried under other cds recently and popped it in. WOW DID I SUCK at life. Shitty music by a shitty band….but yes Chimaira is one of my fav bands so I guess this guys producing almost makes up for his awful band
