#341: THE STRUGGLES AND PERSEVERANCE OF MARK HUNTER AND CHIMAIRA
Chimaira was an American heavy metal band from Cleveland, Ohio. Formed in August 1998, the group was a member of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal scene. The band's name is derived from the word Chimera, a monstrous creature in Greek mythology. Throughout its history, the band had numerous line-up changes, leaving vocalist Mark Hunter as the only constant member. The band dissolved in 2014 but announced a one-off reunion in late 2017 wherein most of the group's longtime members rejoined.
Chimaira and director Nick Cavalier released the documentary Down Again in 2018, in which Hunter shares his struggle with bipolar disorder as well as his interest in photography.
Hunter was diagnosed with thyroid cancer but is now in remission after a full thyroidectomy.
