Chimaira is a six-membered Groove metal/neo-thrash band, originating in Cleveland, Ohio. Chimaira's name has been the source of much confusion. The correct pronunciation of the band name is kai-mare-uh as spoken by Mark Hunter during many gigs while touring within the UK. A large number of people however incorrectly believe that the pronunciation is kim-EAR-uh. Chimaira was formed in 1998, composing itself of Mark Hunter (vocals), Jason Hager (guitar), Rob Arnold (guitar), Jim LaMarca (bass), Andols Herrick (drums) and Chris Spicuzza (keyboards and electronics).
