EXCLUSIVE! Chimaira explain new album

Chimaira's new album The Infection will be out on April 27 in the UK through Nuclear Blast Records. In a UK Exclusive, guitarist Rob Arnold gives Kerrang! readers a track-by-track breakdown of the new 10-song release. 01) The Venom Inside "This was the third song written for The Infection, and we knew right away that it was going to be the albums' lead off track. The Venom Inside's sludgy sounding body is surrounded by an epic intro and outro. As an early indicator of what's to come over the next nine tracks, you might get the feeling that you're in for something special." 02) Frozen In Time "With a dynamic range of ups and downs, Frozen In Time takes you through a whirlwind of riffage. From the tracks' explosive intro, to its ferocious bridge, you're left constantly guessing at what's to come. But by the end, it all makes sense. A true monster in my opinion." 03) Coming Alive "With its slithering intro and verse riffs, menacingly heavy vocals, and destructive drums beats, Coming Alive is exactly what it proclaims... A band coming to life in every aspect. The lyrics may perhaps foreshadow some what of a different meaning, but we'll leave that up to the listener to decide." 04) Secrets Of The Dead "A song that went through many structural changes throughout the writing process, Secrets of the Dead turned out to be a band favorite. Chris Spicuzza shines on this track as he conducts a circuit board symphony from behind his station. Catchy, heavy, intelligent, and packed with groove, this one has "crowd pleaser" written all over it." 05) The Disappearing Sun "Arguably the album's heaviest and darkest track, and our first ever tune written in drop B, The Disappearing Sun hits you like a ton of bricks. Andols puts on a clinic with his crafty double bass work, creatively placing his notes in unconventional spots. This song defines "riff-tastic", and will have you humming its melody's all day long." 06) Impending Doom "A trippy, eclectic track that ended up becoming much mo
