19.09.2010 Chimaira - Resurrection

Chimaira (pronounced /kaɪˈmɪərə/) is an American heavy metal band from Cleveland, Ohio, formed in 1998. The band is a notable member of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal. Their band name is derived from the word Chimera, a monstrous creature in Greek mythology. They play a style of mainly groove metal,
with some metalcore, industrial metal, and death metal influences. 
 In 2006, the band was released from its contract with Roadrunner Records and eventually signed with Ferret Records for United States distribution. They also struck a deal with Nuclear Blast for international operations. The band was said to be excited about its new deals, and its fourth album Resurrection was released on March 6, 2007. The band feels rejuvenated after its split with Roadrunner and the readmission of Herrick on drums. The only downside of this happy event was that the band decided to call off the Eastpack Antidote tour with Soilwork, Sonic Syndicate and Caliban. Chimaira was replaced by Dark Tranquillity. In 2008, Chimaira joined Brendon Small on the Dethklok tour 2008 as a guest appearance.
Resurrection is the fourth studio album by Chimaira, released on March 6, 2007. Debuting at number 42 on the Billboard 200 charts, Resurrection shipped about 16,000 copies sold in its first week. The album was released in two forms: a regular version, and a limited edition version with different cover artwork and a DVD documentary of the making of the album. Chimaira's first album with Ferret Music since leaving Roadrunner Records, Resurrection features drummer Andols Herrick who rejoined the group.The international edition issued by Nuclear Blast was issued in a digipack along with the DVD documentary. However, the cover artwork was the standard one.
There's also a tin box limited to 500 copies from Nuclear Blast Germany, that includes the album with the DVD, plus six pictures of the band and a numbered authenticity certificate.

 And the lyrics are: 



 
free at last
finally tasting happiness
five years of hell for nothing
trapped inside the minds of failures

a wise man once said
that which does not kill us makes us stronger
thought we were dead
so are we now invincible?

determination, perseverance, resolution, resurrection(x2)

final straw
underlying ignorance
consumed by greed and hate
Kept under the feet of Tyrants

reality kicked in
raced against time just to start all over
treated like shit
pushed aside and expendable

determination, perseverance, resolution, resurrection(x2)

we have become so god damn powerful (x6)

all the beatings you gave us, we will use them against you


determination, perseverance, resolution, resurrection(x2)


free at last
finally tasting happiness
the resurrection







Till next time...
