OH HELL YES: CHIMAIRA UNVEIL PREVIEW OF UPCOMING DVD
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 at 12:00pm by Axl RosenbergThere’s been so much awesome metal this year that even thinking about doing a 2009 “best of” list gives me so much agita that I have already devoted at least one and possibly three complete therapy sessions to the topic. But one album that I know has a reserved spot on that list: Chimaira’s The Infection. It came out in April and it’s still in my regular rotation, for crying out loud.
So. Videographer Todd Bell has been out on the road with the band this entire tour cycle working on what will be his forth totally excellent DVD for Chimaira, and now the band has decided to share a preview of what Bell has brewing. Per a statement on the band’s website:
We’re so excited about the footage we shot with Todd Bell for our new DVD release (due out in 2010) that we couldn’t wait to share it. Here is “The Disappearing Sun” live from Helsinki, Finland.
Here’s the clip. “The Disappearing Sun” is one of my favorite tracks of off The Infection, and it looks like it slays live:
The site also says that the group’s tenth annual Chimaira Christmas show, which will take place on December 27 at the Cleveland House of Blues, will be filmed for the DVD. I’ve given serious consideration to making my first visit to Cleveland for one of these shows every year for the past five years; maybe this is the year I finally get off my ass and do it.

Thanks to all my fellow infected Chimairacans who e-mailed me about this. And, yep, I just made up a word.
Hell yeah! Todd Bell does an amazing job. I love all of their DVD’s. Never disappoint
They are the only band recording in HD as far as I know and it looks awesome!
the HD is fkn sweet. Do they change up the camera angle on the DVD’s or what?
yeah that dvd looks like it’s gonna be awesome just based on the recording quality alone…
and i saw them in PA in the shittiest venue possible, but that song was still HEAVY AS FUCKEN BALLS
(also, did i see Pat Cassels from collegehumor in the front row lol?)
Sweet video. This DVD should be awesome!
Yeah, come to cleveland for Chimaira Christmas 10, its always an amazing time
Meh, hopefully there’s a decent bit of their old Pass Out of Existence/The Impossibility of Reason stuff on it….the new shit just isn’t as good.
I’m a proud Chimairacan and will definitely be purchasing this DVD. Gonna look and sound amazing in my Blu-Ray player!!
Fuck yeah, come to Cleveland I’ll personally show you to a few great places to enjoy Cleveland nightlife, I’ll even burn you guys down with some of the best smoke Ohio has to offer.
Once you guys get slammed head to Akron and visit the birthplace of the 12 step program. It’s a blast!
Seeing Chimaira Saturday! Woo-hoo! I’m pumped! THE VENOM INSIDE…
I have been Chimairacan for 10 years now. Damn proud of it. This record definitely stays in my rotation because it’s the best groove metal album this year. Unfuckingdeniable.
only one camera?
thats some awesome quality, but one camera is lame
