The group is composed of vocalist Mark Hunter, guitarists Matt DeVries (who replaced Jason Hager in mid-2001) and Rob Arnold, bassist Jim LaMarca, drummer Andols Herrick, and electronic specialist Chris Spicuzza.[1]
Their first release was the independently issued debut EP, This Present Darkness, which sold 10,000 copies.[1] After signing to Roadrunner Records, they released a 14-track debut full-length, Pass out of Existence, in August 2001. In May 2003, the band released their next album The Impossibility of Reason and peaked at number 117 on the Billboard Top 200.[2] Drummer Kevin Talley replaced Andols Herrick, the DVD collection The Dehumanization Process was released in 2004 and was followed by the third album, self-titled Chimaira, issued in 2005 which peaked at number 74 on the Billboard Top 200.[2] After an internal crisis due to pressure from the label by a new release, the band moved on from Roadrunner and signed a new deal with Ferret Music.[1] In early 2006, Andols Herrick rejoined the band and Chimaira recorded their fourth album Resurrection, which appeared in early March 2007.[1] Resurrection peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Top 200, the band's highest chart position.[2]
