According to a posting at Blabbermouth, Chimaira’s new video was stolen. Fans are so rabid for new Chimaira material that one of them “stole” the video to ‘Nothing Remains’, the lead track from the band’s third and self titled album. The video was stolen from the director’s web site after the fan illegally hacked in. Still in its initial editing phase, the video had yet to be seen by the band or executives at Roadrunner Records. Commented singer Mark Hunter: “It’s exciting to see that our fans are itching to get a hold of our new material, and to see that they actually enjoyed the video. However, the video was in its infant stage and while we are extremely proud of where it stands now, we know that it will be much better when it is finished. I can’t wait for our fans to see the finished version and as soon as it’s done I’ll put it up on the web myself.”

Opeth have strongly denied that drummer Martin Lopez has been fired. While he has left the band as they continue on the US Sounds Of The Underground tour, this is to return to Sweden for treatment on what’s being described as a blood disorder. His place is temporarily being taken by Strapping Young Lad’s Gene Hoglan.
