Pass Out of Existence

Amazon.com
On an initial listen to Pass out of Existence, Chimaira sometimes bear the hallmarks of being little more than a copycat band following along in the scorched-earth wake of the mighty Slipknot. Still, there's much evidence that Chimaira have arrived at this point as much through innovation as imitation. The six-man metal crew's debut is built around a bludgeoning old-school thrash-metal dynamic, jackhammer drumming, primal-scream lyrics, and brutally applied electronic loops. "Dead Inside" marries its powerhouse chorus to spacious, Tool-like passages and bursts of industrial wizardry, while the sinister "Abeo" proves that for all Chimaira's passion for extreme metal, they're far more than one-trick ponies. Slipknot fans will find much to enjoy here, notably the supertight, percussion-heavy "Painting the White to Grey" and the epic, tortured 12-minute closer, "Jade." --Louis Pattison

Customer Reviews:

Awesome album.......2007-05-28

This CD Rocks! If you like any of Chimaira's other albums, you will sove this one too. Very hard, makes you wanna punch your best friend in the face.

A good starting point..........2007-02-02

Okay, so their debut may not be the masterclass that their sophomore and third albums are hailed to be by fans but it still serves up some brutal tracks that will please any fan of the band. The first song I ever heard by this band was the impressive `Dead Inside' with creepy sound effects and infectious guitar and drum work. I was instantly intrigued, but it wasn't until listening to the entire album that I can say I was hooked. The best tracks here are the aforementioned, the brutally melodic `Painting the White to Grey', `Lumps', `Taste My...' and the borderline disturbing closer `Jade'. As a whole this album may run a little long and may contain some filler tracks but it's a good glimpse at what the band is capable of and it still fits nice in any music collection. Chimaira has done what every good band should, take what they've started with and grown, matured, into a better and stronger band!

Nu Metal that brings nothing new to the table.......2007-01-24

Chimaria is a horrid band. These guys brings nothing to the table that hasnt been done about 100x before. First off, every song has a couple easy power cords that a 10yr old could play, and the drumming is weak. This band sounds like a replica of Korn, which gives them 2 strikes to begin with (Ok ,Korn had one good album, but thats it) and I dont hear any resemblance to Slipknot (as some reviewers had posted). Even though I really dont listen to Slipknot, they have more talent then this bunch of losers. If you want Good Metal, avoid this. If you are looking for a run of the mill, NU Metal band that sounds like something you have heard a million times before, then this is for you.

Good but not great..........2006-10-03

Let's get 1 thing straight...Chimaira is awesome! All their albums are worth jamming to, yet this album has it's ups and downs! When I first listened to this back in late 2001 I knew this band could do better so I never gave up hope for Chimaira! Later on they released " The Impossibility of Reason ", which is a killer album! It's still the best one to this day. The Self Titled EP stands out too...but something just wasn't the same, and it was the drums! During that time I didn't know Andols herrick left the group and brought in a former Dying Fetus drummer! It wasn't a grave dissapointment just different! Then again this is my opinion. You definately get your money's woth buying this but IOR is much better, " Lumps" " Severed" " Pass Out of Existance " " Painting the White to Grey " are to me the main tracks that stand out! Also, one of the guitarists on this album ( Jason Hager ) is not with Chimaira no more...go check out his new group " Years Of Fire ".

DECENT , but a bit repetitive .......2006-05-02

I liked few songs: Severed, Forced LIfe, Dead Inside, And PAss out of existence.
Howevere, overall album lacks variety and has a lot of boring guitar riffs and dull musicanship.
Just listen to their later work: Self titled Chimaira.
It is much more interesting!
This one is ok, still has some brutal stuff!
