CHIMAIRA's first show in 6 years: See videos and setlist

NWOAHM vets celebrated 20 years of 'The Impossibility of Reason'

New Wave of American Heavy Metal pioneers Chimaira played their first live show in six years over the weekend, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their beloved 2003 sophomore album, The Impossibility Of Reason.

On May 12th and 13th, the band reunited most of their classic-era lineup for two shows in their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, where they ripped through 20-song sets that included full play-throughs of the album and encores packed with other songs from throughout their catalog.

The gigs were Chimaira's first live performances since 2017, when they played one single reunion show after their breakup in 2014. So really, this is the most the band have played out in almost a decade. 

Of course, fans had their cameras up all weekend, and you can see footage from their sets above and below via YouTube. Below, see the setlist from May 12th courtesy of Setlist.fm.
