When Chimaira released their sophomore effort for Roadrunner Records, The Impossibility of Reason, in May of 2003, it marked both the end of a journey and the beginning of a new one. Over the past year and a half, the band has toured with some of the biggest names in hard rock and metal (Slipknot, Slayer, Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Fear Factory), played Ozzfest, shot three videos (one of which ended in a fiery blaze), gone through three drummers, fought illness, English thugs and one another, to come out on top.  The Dehumanizing Process DVD, directed by Todd Bell, is this period of time caught on tape.  It is an hour-and-a-half documentary of a band trying to hold onto their sanity and dream.

Also included in this package is the This Present Darkness EP. Released independently before they were signed, this updated version has previously unavailable bonus tracks and new liner notes written by lead singer, Mark Hunter. 

Out of Cleveland, OH, Chimaira formed in 1998 and has since released an EP and two albums, the This Present Darkness EP (1999), Pass Out of Existence (2001) and The Impossibility of Reason (2003).
