An excerpt follows:

"We were just young and hungry, and wanted to do whatever we could," guitarist Rob Arnold reflects on Chimaira's early days as a band. "Now being in it, we just know so much more -- so much of the reality."



Sitting outside a cafe on Sunset Blvd, Arnold reminisces on Chimaira's 13-year career and the late 90s Cleveland, Ohio music scene that spawned bands like Mushroomhead and the short-lived Sw1tched. Out supporting their sixth studio album The Age of Hell, Arnold says that outliving the nu metal era at the turn of the century had much to do with being prepared for longevity from the start.
