I started listening to chimara when pass out of existence came out. Me and my brother used to jam out to severed when we were learning our instruments. He still listens to it everyday. I’ve moved onto their other stuff.

I’ve been listening to chimaira since the time I saw them live at lamours in brooklyn with lamb of god. Been a dan ever since. Would love to see them live again and what they evolved into

havent seen chimaira simce sounds of the underground way back when but the impossibility of reason is still one of my favorite albums!
Wow Aaron that is too long to not see a band you like so let’s rectify this immediately with the congratulations on your winning a ticket for the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
I would really like to check out Threat Signal, never seen them live before and I have actually liked the stuff I’ve heard from them.
Well Chris we are just going to have to rectify this and say you will see Threat Signal live as one of the winners of a ticket for the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
Always thought bands like Threat Signal and Chimaira with their more technical sound were at the top of the heap of the modern metal. It’s good to see new generations continue to evolve the sound while keeping it heavy! Would love to see both of these bands.
Well see them you shall Steve, so congratulations you have won a ticket for the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
I have been a Threat Signal fan for 6+ years now. Their music is some of the most intense and honest metal that I have ever heard. Jon Howard is a beast of a singer, and both Travis Montgomery and Pat Kavanaugh have more talent individually than some bands do as entire units. I have not seen them live since 2010, unfortunately, and it was a very rough night for me at that. I would love to see a concert of theirs that leaves me with positive memories and a great memorable experience when all was over.
Thanks Chris and let’s keep that appreciation of their brand of Metal going strong and say congratulations because you have won a ticket for the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
I’ve been a Chimaira fan for a couple of years and i got introduced to them thanks to someone I had a great friendship with at the time that unfortunately isn’t in my life anymore, but nonetheless they bring back good memories. The last time i saw them was at BB Kings and was kinda bummed out because it was around the time that they were supposedly gonna split up with some of the original members but i’m glad they continued!
Let’s keep that interest in the band going forward Mer-Is-Ee-o and congratulations as you have won a ticket to the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me how on you claim it.
I’ve seen Chimaira at B.B. Kings Blues Club the last time they played here in NY. Even though the venue is small and generally frowns upon moshing, the pit was intense and the energy of the crowd was palpable. Also, it doesn’t hurt that one of my starting out metal records (elitists please don’t hate) was their Resurrection album. So I’m not exactly sure how long I’ve been a fan, but their music has always been a source of…aggressive nostalgia? That’s the closest I can describe it as. Haha. As for the rest of the bands, I’ve heard good things about them so I’d like to give them a shot.
Hahaha, I like that “aggressive nostalgia” phrase and since Gramercy Theatre clearly offers more square footage for circle pitting (circle gets the square) congrats Rob for you have won a ticket for the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
Would like to see Dark Sermon since it’s one of the latest bands Nuclear Blast Records recently signed (I remember hearing about them before actually!) pretty cool melo death, reminds me of The Black Dahlia Murder… I MEAN At The Gates jr. haha 😉
I am curious about the Dark Sermon band myself and hate that I am not attending this show so will be needing to count on those who attend. That being said congratulations Jesse, you have won a ticket for the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
I’ve heard many good things about Chimaira live but have never had the opportunity to check them out.
Let’s fix that then Anthony and say congratulations because you won a ticket to the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
I’ve always wanted to see Dark Sermon. I’ve heard them on youtube and think they would be awesome live. m/

I recently checked out some Chimaira videos and I really enjoyed their amazing aggressive sound. I regret not discovering them earlier. I always wanted to see Threat Signal live also. It would be really awesome to generate some intense heavy metal excitement with all the fans.
Never regret not seeing something earlier Jeanny as its impossible to follow every band. Now that being said, congratulations for winning one of our tickets to see Chimaira on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.

Last time I saw Chimaira was at Mayhem Fest a few years back and was amazed with their style, it’ll be great to see them again, plus it’ll be great to see Threat Signal for the first time. I really like some of the elctronic tunes played by The Browing.
I am sure you will like what the bands have been up to since that time so congratulations Juan, you have won a ticket to the Chimaira show on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tunes to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
I haven’t listened to Chimaira in a long time. First saw them in 2007 with Kataklysm. It would be nice for me to revisit them.
Then revisit you shall Mr. Belmonte, congratulations because you won a ticket to see Chimaira on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from you claim it.

Ohmahgad!!
I’ve had the chance to see The Browning once before at the Gramercy Theater and they really became one of my favorite live bands. Ever since then I been waiting for another opportunity to see them again! Having legendary bands like Chimaira and Threat signal on the lineup as well is just PERFECT.
-Joshua Hernandez
I agree with you 100% Joshua. There is nothing like seeing a favorite band than when they are on a bill with other powerhouse worthwhile seeing bands. That being said congratulations, you have won a ticket to see Chimaira on Wednesday 8/21. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
I heard Chimaira a long time ago and thought they were really groovy and I’ve heard real good things about The Browning, but I’ve wanted to see a heavy show for a while but i rarely get the chance to. I think this would be great if i got to see all of these guys! Id really look forward to having a good night!
Time for you to see that heavy show then Raul, so congratulations you have won a ticket to tonight’s Chimaira show. Please stay tuned to the comments for details from me on how you claim it.
