Chimaira will be releasing a 15th anniversary deluxe edition of their 2011 album “The Age Of Hell” on November 30. Pre-orders can be found HERE.

The band shared more information:

“Fifteen years ago, we made ‘The Age of Hell.’

It’s been out of print for more than five years.

Today, we’re bringing it back.
Three editions. Each strictly limited.

The XV Edition. The complete anniversary release on double clear vinyl, including both bonus tracks [‘Scum Of The Earth’ and ‘Your Days Are Numbered’] on vinyl for the first time. Just 350 copies worldwide.

The Molten Edition. Orange liquid-filled double vinyl in a premium hardcover gatefold. Only 50 copies worldwide.

The Deluxe Box Set. The anniversary album, collector extras, and something we’ve kept in the archives for years: ‘The Lost Word. Eight’ unreleased instrumental demos, available only in this box. 300 copies worldwide.

New merch arrives alongside them, including two limited shirt designs.

We’ve also opened a dedicated UK store to lower shipping costs for fans there.

We’re independent. Every order directly supports this band. Your support makes this project possible and helps us make the next one.

This is a one-time pressing.

Thanks to Jon Heavens Design for helping with the artwork and Garett Zunt for the original art.”

The box set includes the following:

• ‘The Age of Hell’ 15th Anniversary 2LP on ‘Year of the Snake’ Green, gatefold jacket
• ‘The Lost Word’ LP: eight unreleased demos on purple vinyl, black jacket
• Orange collector’s box
• ‘The Age of Hell XV’ laminate (all access to every show on the 2011 to 2012 tour; you bring the time machine)
• Bullet USB: the 16-track digital album, ‘The Lost Word,’ a 51-minute documentary, photos and wallpapers
• ‘Year of the Snake’ woven back patch
• Sigil slipmat
• Chaos star foil sticker

Frontman Mark Hunter commented:

“By the time ‘The Age of Hell’ came out, Chimaira was already coming apart. People argued for years over whether it was a return to form or even really a Chimaira record, and both sides had a point. We finished it anyway, pulling from everything we had been because none of us knew if there would be another one. I have never apologized for this album. It is exactly what it is: the sound of holding on. Fifteen years later, thank you to everyone who found something in it, defended it, hated it, or cared enough to keep arguing about it. This one is still for you.”
