| | Chimaira The Infection CD Chimaira Discography of CDs
Continuing the arc they established on CHIMAIRA and RESURRECTION, Cleveland sextet Chimaira hone their Pantera-meets-Hatebreed approach with brutal, straightforward metalcore. Erasing any lingering associations with the late '90s nu metal scene they were unfairly lumped in with in their early days, the band deliver nine epics replete with monster riffs, pummeling double bass drums, and guttural vocals on their fifth full-length, THE INFECTION. Producer Ben Schigel (who also helmed THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF REASON and CHIMAIRA) returns to the fold and provides Matt DeVries and Rob Arnold's twin guitars the sonic thickness they need to dominate all comers.

Alternative Press (p.118) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[These] Clevelanders have gotten sincerely heavy and brutal on their three successive releases, and THE INFECTION is a very solid effort."
CMJ - "Chimaira's thick, heavy guitar brew is still bubbling, allowing for layers of riffage to occur simultaneously and blisteringly."
Billboard (p.64) - "Chimaira strides confidently toward a new direction on its fifth album, THE INFECTION, propelling each song with unflagging determination." Chimaira The Infection Songs The Infection Review

The Infection album
 $13.95  
WHEN DREAM & DAY UNITE, the major label debut from prog-metal act Dream Theater, includes the tracks "YTSE Jam" and "Only A Matter Of Time."
Dream Theater's first official release gave an indication that this was a talented band that combined the styles of Yes, Rush, and Queensr˙che. The latter seemed to be too big of an influence at this stage of their career. Vocalist Charlie Dominici's voice is not powerful enough to carry out the band's otherwise convincing intensity, and his attempt to sound like Queensr˙che's Geoff Tate was unsuccessful. The music here is not as heavy as it would become in the '90s but could still be classified as progressive metal. Guitarist John Petrucci and drummer Mike Portnoy established themselves as competent musicians, but their individual styles were not yet refined. The band's originality does shine through on "Light Fuse and Get Away," "The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun," and "Only a Matter ...

Pell's career began in 1980 with the band, Steeler, who sold over 30,000 copies of their commercially most successful release, Strike Back, and brought out their fourth and final album, Undercover Animal, in 1988. In November of that same year, Pell formed his own group together with J”rg Deisinger (ex-Bonfire), drummer J”rg Michael, bassist Thomas Smuszynski (ex-U.D.O.) and the American vocalist, Charlie Huhn (Ted Nugent, Gary Moore, Victory). Their debut album, Wild Obsessions, arrived at the stores one year later, followed by Nasty Reputation, for whom Pell enlisted the American frontman, Rob Rock (M.A.R.S, Impellitteri), who was replaced during the subsequent German tour by former Malmsteen vocalist, Jeff Scott Soto. With Soto as a new member, the third album, Eternal Prisoner (1992), was undeniable proof that the band had found their own, unmistakable style from the beginning. One year later, Pell brought out The Ballads, an album featuring his most accomplished rock ballads. With Between The Walls (1994) and the live recording, Made In Germany, the guitarist from Bochum held on to his typical style even in the post-grunge era. The subsequent Black Moon Pyramid (1996) was the second Pell album in succession to make the German album charts. 1997 saw the arrival of Pell's eighth offering, Magic, featuring a thematically consistent concept about supernatural stories. Magic also entered the charts, followed by Oceans Of Time, the commercially most successful album at that time by the Axel Rudi Pell band, and the continuation of Pell's ballad concept (The Ballads II, 1999). Following the departure of Jeff Scott Soto, Pell enlisted American vocalist Johnny Gioeli (ex-Hardline) for the production of Oceans Of Time, The Ballads III and his 2000 release, Masquerade Ball. His characteristic voice also enhanced the subsequent releases, Shadow Zone (2002) and Kings & Queens (2004). Mystica, another exceptional recording, saw the band come full circle in summer 2006, and the double DVD Live Over Europe was the cherry on the cake in a long series of outstanding releases. In 2007 Pell recored also the cover album "Diamonds Unlocked" and in 2008 "Tales Of The Crown" was released.
