Impossibility is one of the very few albums I can press play on and just let it rip the whole way through. To me, it’s a metal masterpiece.

Rob Arnold has to be one of the most grounded nice dudes in metal surely. He comes across like the really enthusiastic guy at your local music shop who just so happens to have created some of the greatest metal grooves in living history. I think he deserves a power trip.

So happy and thankful that we get the opportunity to see you guys live. I discovered Chimaira in 2019, and have been listening everyday since. Best band I’ve ever listened to. Period. Best guitar riffs, and best breakdowns. Nobody goes as hard as Chimaira and I don’t think any band ever will. Chimaira will always be the kings.

I discovered them in 2020, a coworker at the shop I was working at had Pandora playing music and “Power Trip” came on. After that it was downhill from there. Are they planning on touring again?

Chimaira are definitely the G.O.A.T.!!! A few other bands you might also enjoy if you haven't already discovered them are: "Soreption" from Sweden, "Obscura" from Germany, and last but not least is a band called "Revocation" from Boston, Massachusetts. I always like to mention "Children of Bodom" too haha, but the other bands I listed above share more similarities with Chimaira than C.O.B. do. \\m//

Cool video Rob so happy to hear chimaira coming back for the live shows you guys were the best.

That Everything You Love intro gets me every time! Such a good song. My old band used to warm up to the first couple of minutes of it.

I was just watching a Chimiara gig that took place months ago in 2023. In all sincerity I don't think any of you skipped a beat. Super tight, Heavy, Professional level gig. In closing I concur with as it pertains to your guitar rig. A throw and go guitar and or bass rig is the way to go. There's no need for a ton of superfluous junk. When Chimiara has always been a meat and potatoes in your face Heavy Metal band.

That clean tone man

I had a very similar set up back in the day as well. I used to run two BOSS NS-2 pedals in my 6505+ since it was so damn noisy! Eventually I got a ISP Decimator Pro Rack G and that completely fixed up the hum and little whistle sound you hear at the end from the strings. Overtime I got tired of luggin around all that heavy gear and just settled for a Axe Fx AX8 which is what I now currently use. Gotta make sure we watch our backs! (Literally lol)

I love digitech processors. I've had the same one since 07

timeless greatness

damn dude all sounds great

Sad I live in a different part of world. Hope one day my dream to see you live will become true because Chimaira is my favorite metal band!😎

Thanks for all the great KZread content, Mr. Rob. Randomly, I wanted to take a sec to appreciate your guitar work and riffery on SFU - UNDEAD. That is the only SFU album I own and have it only because you are the riff meister. That disc is chock full of just bad ass playing and kliler, killer riffs. Absolutely fantastic stuff and so good for the GYM! 18 Days with those wicked trills, Missing Victims with that dissonance, Reckless has like a metal boogie going on, top notch chuggies and riffery man.

Can confidently say Chimaira influenced my playing-and my band’s-in the early aughts, paving a way for a lot of us out of the nu metal phase into the new wave of American metal/metalcore.
