Cleveland, Ohio metallers CHIMAIRA have issued the following update:

"Due to an acute illness, we must cancel our upcoming UK tour. The band was really looking forward to the shows especially coming off a successful run in the US as part of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival.

Alas, health comes first, as it should for us all. Sorry to those who planned on attending, but as the Governor of California once said, ‘we’ll be back’... or something like that."

Chimaira recently celebrated the #4 SoundScan debut of their brand new CD/DVD set, Coming Alive. Coming Alive includes a four-part documentary filmed over the course of a year and a half while the entire package includes over 7 hours of exclusive content.

The DVD, filmed entirely in HD, showcases Chimaira in the studio while recording the Billboard-charting, The Infection, and chronicles their recent, worldwide touring season.

In summary, Coming Alive is an in-depth look into Chimaira’s life and music in the studio and on the road. Not only does the DVD set include this amazing documentary piece, another section, Chimaira XMAS: Live Concert Film, celebrates the 10th annual Chimaira Christmas show in Cleveland, Ohio, which took place on December 30th, 2009. 13 HD cameras capture Chimaira releasing their fury for their hometown crowd on a dark and snowy night in December.

Bonus features on the DVD include a 45 minute Resurrection: ‘Making of’ documentary, a 40 minute home-video footage documentary of never before seen moments, and a live CD featuring 17 tracks recorded at Chimaira’s December 30th Christmas show.
