Rob Arnold ? Guitar
Modern Metal에 대해 얘기할 때 빼놓을 수 없는 한 밴드가 있다.
오하이오주 클리브랜드 출신 CHIMAIRA그들이 네번째 앨범 "Resurrection" 으로 돌아왔다.
이 앨범은 여러분이 바라는대로 그야말로 끝내준다.
물론 조금 놀랍게도 쇄신하려는 멋진 아이디어도 담아져 있으며 두세번 듣다보면 CHIMAIRA의 강력한 부활을 느낄 수 있을 것이다.
1998년 Mark Hunter 와 Jason Hager (2001년에 Matt DeVries로 맴버 교체가 이뤄짐)로 결성된 CHIMAIRA는 곧 밴드의 첫 EP This Present Darkness를 발표한 후 로드런너 레코드사와 계약을 했다.
2001년에 데뷰 앨범 Pass Out Of Existence를 발표했고 2003년에 발표한 두번째 앨범 The Impossibility Of Reason는 메탈계에 큰 반향을 불러모았고 일찍부터 최고의 기량을 가진 밴드로 여겨졌다.
이들은 FEAR FACTORY, DANZIG, SLIPKNOT, MACHINE HEAD, ILL NINO, SPINESHANK, IN FLAMES 같은 밴드들과 많은 공연도 했으나 2003년 후반에 드러머 Andols Herrick가 밴드를 떠나 후임으로 Soilwork 의 Richie Evensandt를 맞이하였고 다시 Misery Index의Kevin Talley로 교체되었고 어둡고 스래쉬한 앨범이면서 지금까지 어느 앨범보다 헤비한 세번째 앨범 Chimaira 녹음하였다.
DEVILDRIVER, GWAR, OPETH와 공연 후 2년의 공백을 깨고 드러머 Andols가 밴드로 복귀하였다.
사람들은 Andols 복귀를 축하해주리라고 생각된다.
또한 Andols는 멋진 녀석이라는 걸을 공감하리라고 생각된다.
이제 신구라인업으로 재정비한 CHIMAIRA는 로드런너 레코드사와의 계약을 연장하지 않기로 하고 미국의 Ferret 레코드사 유럽의 NUCLEAR BLAST와 같은 새 레코드 회사와 계약하기에 이르렀으며 2006년 후반에 CHIMAIRA는 TRIVIUM의 앨범에 참여한 Jason Suecof 를 프로듀서로 맞아 음반 작업에 돌입하게 되었으며 믹싱은 언급할 필요가 없는 Andy Sneap이 담당하게 되었다..
“우리는 아무런 바램없이 이 음반작업을 해왔고 이로인해 이 앨범은 때 묻지 않고 꾸임없는 모습으로 더욱 빛을 발하는 것 같다.
바로 오늘 이 음반을 여러분이 감상하기 위해 때맞춰 CHIMAIRA의 신보가 출시되었다. 기대하시라....” .... ....
Did you ever realize That your way of life Is effecting all around you Bottom feeding ignorant You make me fucking sick Did you ever realize That everyone you know Can't fucking stand you Acting like you know everything When you don't even have a clue
You're worthless Worthless
I can't fucking believe You never realized That your way of life Revolves around theft and greed Every week a new identity Yet still an asshole to me Did you ever realize No matter how hard you try You'll never make a difference Just keep on fucking pretending That you're our savior
Worthless
Nobody cares if you die Worthless You are fucking worthless
She has seen so many things it's so surreal She has done so many things it's so unreal She has been almost everywhere And tasted everything She has been a dream since birth Who could conquer anything
Night after night after every single night She never gave up Fight after fight after motherfucking fight She came out on top
One rule one way of life Only the strong survive
Never back down never back down Destroying everything
Blood all the blood every single drop of blood She sucks it up Breath every breath every single damn breath She screams with love
One rule one way of life Only the strong survive
Never back down never back down Destroying everything Nobody in this world will ever stop her Nobody in this world will ever touch her Everybody in this world will want to be her Everybody in this world just needs to see her
She's everything And she'll destroy the world Never back down never back down Destroying everything
You're a man who lives in solitude Never knowing what life could bring you You have to raise your fists just to break through All the voices inside your head that make you
You're a man who's filled with attitude Don't you know that everyone hates you It would be so simple for me to kill you Mark my words my man I will stop you
Killing the beast killing the beast kill
You'll always see me You'll always need me You'll never last one minute without me
You can't take away all the lies that you told me But I can take away all the feelings that I had for you
You'll always see me You'll always need me You'll never last one minute without me I'm killing the beast Killing the beast Tear his heart out
Her eyes opened after that terrible night Would she ever be the same? A revelation of her own demise No one left but herself to blame
Her silence only fueled the flame And now the angels have lost their wings In daddy's playground, nothing is what it seems This was the last time that he'd see her That he'd touch her That he'd make his little girl scream out loud
I'm gonna pound you into oblivion I will make you fucking bleed There is no escaping me This is your destiny
I'm gonna pound you into oblivion I will make you fucking bleed There is no escaping me This is your destiny
He came to her through the window again The fan blowing to hide the noise No hesitation from the devil inside Everyone he touched was destroyed
His madness only fueled the flame And now the angels have lost their wings In daddy's playground, nothing is what it seems This was the last time that he'd see her That he'd touch her That he'd make his little girl scream out loud
I'm gonna pound you into oblivion I will make you fucking bleed There is no escaping me This is your destiny
Time to walk with me Time to walk with me Time to die
Let me take you somewhere secluded Where only the trees can see If I can't have you, no one will Didn't you know, it was always me?
Your flame now burned out You were daddy's little girl Your flame now burned out Oh God, what have I done?
Another day another town another city It's all the same And I used to find comfort in all of this It's an excuse to deviate from the norm Pathetic isn't it After all these years still not content
Happiness has been long lost Suffering a drug with no cost How great would it be to end it all
Another show another state another country It has always been the same Commanding troops just like a general Leading the warriors into a battle Pathetic isn't it After all these years, still not content
Happiness has been long lost Suffering a drug with no cost How great would it be to end it all
Why bother it won't satisfy Nothing ever does The pills, the love, the recognition and support I live to die rot and decay
Happiness has been long lost Suffering a drug with no cost How great would it be to end it all How great would it be to run away
Black heart dead soul Apathy and misery Loss of control Any of the above would describe me I hate being inhuman All I do is fuck everything up Someone just please put a gun to my head
I just don't care anymore I'm broken tired and sore I just don't care anymore From my black heart
Faceless humans Just want to get inside me Shut down long ago Not even the closest know me Like a leper everything I touch Rots dies then turns to dust Everyone should just stay away from me
I just don't care anymore I'm broken tired and sore I just don't care anymore From my black heart
I gave up trying No use in lying Another broken promise Another bond demolished
Will I ever give a fuck About anyone or anything Day by day live in denial The needle is reality
Weightless painless numbness shameless
Lying on the floor I don't even care Feeling so useless Only one thing will fix this
Veins are flowing with my solution Picturing death for inspiration Set me free Oh what a feeling as it enters my skin Taking me back before the life filled with sin
Weightless painless numbness shameless
I'll show the world I'm the hand of god I'll give you everything you need I'll make all your dreams come true I'll take away all your misery I'll answer all your prayers I'll fill you with hope I'll feed you when you're hungry I'll be the one to help you cope
Do you believe in me Enough to sacrifice Do you believe in me Enough to end your life
Do you believe in me Enough to kill for me Do you believe in me Enough to die for me Come on and join me Grab my hand Together we will feast On the blood of the weak
Empire Destroying dignity Empire Destroying humanity When you walk the path You will discover a world undreamed of Your suffering will be legendary Do you believe in suffering
Do you believe in me Enough to slay your brother Do you believe in me Enough to betray your family Come on and join me Grab my hand Together we will feast On the blood of the weak
