Chimaira Dropped From Roadrunner Records

Cleveland, Ohio's CHIMAIRA have officially parted ways with Roadrunner Records. The group have issued the following statement on the matter:

"The Jager tour with ARCH ENEMY has been going fucking great. 99% of the shows have been super-packed and the crowds have been amazing for all of the bands. This is a great package and we are making a ton of new friends. Tonight is NEVERMORE's last night and we wish them the best. There are still a ton of dates left on this so get your asses out to the shows!

"Before the rumor mill starts going at full force, we wanted to let you know that we have amicably parted ways with Roadrunner Records. We asked to be let out of the contract and they graciously agreed to our request. We (CHIMAIRA and Roadrunner) had not been seeing eye to eye on some key issues and came to a mutual agreement to end our relationship - and we are leaving on good terms with everyone there. We are really happy about this and look forward to the future of CHIMAIRA.

"Bands change labels all the time, but in this day and age everyone on the Internet is an industry expert and will come up with their own theories as to 'what happened.' There is nothing more going on than what we already stated.

"Having said that, we are sure some of you message board hounds will still take it upon yourselves to make up your own reasons of why we are not signed anymore, or your general opinion of us' so have at it."
