Check Out Footage Of CHIMAIRA’s First Show Of 2024


Chimaira returned to the stage for the first time in 2024 at the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival on July 19. Chimaira ripped through a set of 10 classics and made it very clear that they’re still capable of absolutely crushing it on stage. The set was:

  1. “Pure Hatred”
  2. “Power Trip”
  3. “The Flame”
  4. “Nothing Remains”
  5. “The Dehumanizing Process”
  6. “The Venom Inside”
  7. “Year of the Snake”
  8. “Dead Inside”
  9. “Severed (with Silence intro)”
  10. “Resurrection”

Chimaira‘s lineup in 2024 is vocalist Mark Hunter, guitarists Rob Arnold and Matt DeVries, bassist Jim LaMarca, keyboardist Chris Spicuzza, and drummer Austin D’Amond.

As for Chimaira, they split up in 2014 and have thus far played a handful of reunion shows (including the above one). Chimaira has not reunited in any long-term capacity just yet, though new music seems like a very slim possibility? In an interview with The Ex-Man With Doc Coyle, Arnold said the situation was complex.

“I won’t say that new Chimaira material, while we’re not talking about it, is completely off the table. But there’s a very good chance we may never have it, but there may be. We all know in Chimaira that people want more music but like you guys I’m sure, we’re not a band that’s going to throw something together just because. There’s going to be so much planning and stewing to make that happen.

“We’ve actually tried – maybe you heard – we were kind of geared up after that last show as you know, things were great. As you know, God Forbid is probably fired up right now, but then the pandemic hit and it just wiped everything out. It just stopped completely. Now for these shows it’s re-getting everything going again.”
