Officially from Chimaira "Well it's official! We've wrapped things up and signed two record deals!"

"The first one being with Ferret Music for our home turf North America. We have known the guys over at Ferret for many years and they are great friends. We look forward to building off that friendship and making great records together. We knew we wanted to sign to Ferret right away and it was a great feeling to hear they felt the same way about Chimaira. They have a vision for this band that just blows us away, and we feel very fortunate to finally be working with a team that understands us."



"For our friends outside of the US, we have linked up with Nuclear Blast. We met these guys on the European Sounds Of The Underground tour and were so thrilled to learn that they too were big of fans of Chimaira. They had this hunger in their eyes that showed us they were going to sign Chimaira if it was the last thing they did. That made us feel incredible. Not to mention the owner promised us his Porsche if we signed...we are holding you to that Marc! On a serious note, both Nuclear and Ferret have great ideas to deliver some killer goods to the fans."


"Things have never felt as good for us as they do right now, and its due in part to the killer music we're creating, plus the faith and enthusiasm we're seeing from the awesome group of guys over there at the labels.

Chimaira still has an abundance of life and creativity flowing through our veins, and this new chapter in our lives may prove to be our greatest. Get ready for the most real, most passionate, and most technically punishing Chimaira record yet! -The beast has finally been unleashed..."

Expect the new Chimaira CD Spring 2007 titled “Resurrection” on Ferret Music.

Interesting. Ferret Music must have deeper pockets or better artist relations, cause I can't imagine Roadrunner giving them up to easily.

either way, i should be getting a chunk of change, right aaron?

Damn, I wonder if Road Runner dropped them from their label if that's the case they're pretty dumb. Chimaria has sold them a whole shit load of records so maybe their deal was just up and decided to take it else where. Either way Ferret and Nuclear Blast will probably be making some good cash off these guys and chances are Chimaira will be a huge financial gain to each label. Go ahead guys make fun of Chimaira and it's mallcore roots but you can't deny they did pretty well for themselves after they put out "The Impossibility of Reason".

I have no respect for the band... but their guitarists' ESP custom shop horizons... Wowza.

I remember the last time I saw Chimaira play was at the NEMHF and the lead singer was clearly drunk off his ass because he sounded like shit and was using a mic stand the whole time basically. Plus they had these 2 hot chics come out and dance during one of their songs.

Clearly you must be a better guitarist then them or you wouldnt say that. Its so amazing that you arent signed to a huge deal.

Chimara was dropped from Roadrunner about 2 monthes ago. Probably to make room for Gaybreed. Good to see them getting back on the horse.

Roadrunner always gave Chimaira shit for not selling enough
i figured they were looking for Nickleback figures, but umm them being on Ferret? I dunno...I guess Ferret is trying to be a big hard hitting label and go up against roadrunner and metalblade...Ferret's been signing uncharacteristic bands as of late so thats just my theory/hypothesis

4 Words: Max Cavalera Custom Guitars.

Message: You don't have to be good to get a custom guitar deal.

If you're talking about record deals...jesus, how many shitty bands have distribution?...it's too many to count.

The last song I heard from Chimaira was so awful, I almost vomited, but luckily I didnt give enough of a shit.
