CHIMAIRA DEMO II reviews

Specialists/collaborators reviews

UMUR
"Demo II" is the second demo recording by US, Ohio based hardcore/groove metal act Chimaira. The demo was independently released in September 1999. The two tracks from the demo would be re-released along with the "Refuse To See" track (which does not appear on the original version of this demo) on the October 1999 eponymously titled EP.

Stylistically Chimaira play a hybrid groove metal, NU metal, and hardcore style, which is based on heavy chugging riffs and grooves and ultra aggressive screaming hardcore vocals. The NU metal element only extends to a few parts on the "Divination" track, which vaguely resembles something Korn could have put out. Other than that this is just really aggressive hardcore/groove metal.

The demo features a professional studio production and it´s no wonder that the band opted to re-release the material from the demo as their first EP. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
