CHIMAIRA\'s 10th annual hometown Christmas show on December 27 at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio will be filmed for a forthcoming concert DVD.

CHIMAIRA is currently on tour in the U.S. with TRIVIUM. After a two-week break, CHIMAIRA will be ready to tear Cleveland apart and spread a little Christmas cheer.

Commented guitarist Rob Arnold: \"It\'s hard for us to believe that the first time CHIMAIRA played the Cleveland area over the holidays was ten years ago this Christmas. And the fact that the show became an annual event, drawing metal heads from not only the Cleveland area but from all over the globe, makes it all the more special.

\"I remember being excited years ago, when fans started showing up from places as far as Texas, and now seeing fans flying in from places like Europe and the U.K. is, to say the least... astonishing.

\"So here we are... our tenth annual CHIMAIRA Christmas show, and we plan to make it special. The production will be the biggest and the best yet, and the set list will span our entire catalog.\"

CHIMAIRA\'s new album, \"The Infection\", sold 15,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 30 on The Billboard 200 chart.

The band will embark on a tour of Australia and New Zealand in January 2010. Support on the trek will come from DOUBLE DRAGON. This will be CHIMAIRA\'s first headlining Australian tour, having previously played the country as a support act for IN FLAMES, BIOHAZARD and KORN.
