Chimaira have shared footage of a number of 2000-era concerts on their official YouTube channel. The videos were released as part of the 25th anniversary celebration for the band’s “This Present Darkness” EP. The group commented:
“25 years ago, ‘This Present Darkness‘ was released—a declaration of who we were, crafted in just four days with $1,500 and unrelenting drive. More than an EP, it’s a testament to the grind, passion, and brutal energy that still drives us today. To celebrate, we’ve opened the vault, sharing raw, unedited live performances from the year 2000—a gritty and honest glimpse into the chaos and determination of those early days. Thank you for being a part of our journey and commemorating this milestone with us.
