Chimaira - The Age Of Hell (2011) MP3 320Kbps

After over 12 years of defining what Cleveland metal and brutal music should sound like, Chimaira advances their trademark brand of heavy with their latest monster, The Age of Hell. The eponymous opening track summons the ferocity of a band hungry and disgusted. Mark Hunters guttural barks declare a twisted war, while the guitars shift from ravenous chugging to soaring leads. Clockwork, a song that refuses to grow stale after countless plays, provides a chorus that sees the band tastefully using layers of clean vocals, while not sacrificing Chimairas severity, a theme throughout the album. Tracks like Losing My Mind and Time is Running Out lyrically reflect the tribulations of a group under the gun, and both include the bands signature groove that is utterly crushing. But its songs like Trigger Finger, Born in Blood, and Scapegoat that will leave janitors mopping up blood from venue floors across the world. Throughout the record, the sonic layers are far from trite ear candy, giving an oceanic depth to each track. Solos and leads by Arnold confirm his status as the next shredder to beat. And the drumming. Schigel goes from syncopated to bar room brawler and back again with no regrets for the jaws he dropped along the way. And now the eclipse of what you thought you knew about contemporary metal has begun. There is a new definition announced by distorted, yet familiar faces. Chimaira will take you through The Age of Hell. Let s hope you are prepared.
