Unlike many of its similarly hard-edged contemporaries, Chimaira features the added novelty of a full-time member who is credited with "lead electronics." Not simply a DJ, knob-twister Chris Spicuzza adds a distinctive palette of ambient noise to the proceedings, which in combination with the sonic mayhem spewed forth by the rest of the band, often makes for a uniquely disconcerting, yet strangely addictive listening experience. | Engineer: Ben Schigel |

| | Professional Reviews | | CMJ (5/12/03, p.26) - "...A sweltering, audio torture chamber of dizzying rhythms, jackhammer riffs and barked vocals....Chimaira gets a little moody, but it works completely..." |
