Chimaira: studio blog launched
Cleveland, Ohio-based metallers Chimaira have launched a studio blog to document the writing and recording sessions for their upcoming album. Chimaira will enter the studio in its hometown later in the year to begin recording the follow-up to 2007's "Resurrection" for early 2009 release via Ferret Music in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast in Europe.
Chimaira recently posted a previously unreleased song from the "Resurrection" sessions entitled "Kingdom Of Heartache" on its Facebook page.
Chimaira played a one-time celebratory show to honor its 10th anniversary as a band on July 12 at Peabody's Down Under in Cleveland. The group performed "a unique blend of songs from the first 10 years of our career," according to a press release.

Chimaira recently released a digital-deluxe version of 2007's "Resurrection" (Ferret Music) via iTunes. The iTunes-exclusive version of the album, which came out in June, includes two bonus tracks, "Kingdom of Heartache" and "Paralyzed", as well as well as a video guitar lesson from the band's renowned guitarist Rob Arnold. The lesson was taken from Arnold's contribution to the Rock House Method instructional DVD series.
Chimaira has made the limited-edition bonus DVD from "Resurrection" available for purchase at the Ferret webstore.
