Band History
KIMAERA is a Lebanese death metal band founded by vocalist and guitarist Jean-Pierre Haddad in 2000. The band's music combines Oriental, Atmospheric Doom, and Death Metal influences, with gothic undertones resounding through melodic interludes of violins, pianos and occasional female vocals.

The band released God's Wrath ', a self-produced Single, in March of 2004. The release of which got the attention of Stygian Crypt Productions, which in turn led to Kimaera's release of their debut album Ebony Veiled in February of 2006 in Lebanon, and April 2006 worldwide.

Kimaera is among the first wave of international metal bands originating from the Middle East. Known in their homeland as the "Lebanese Ambassadors of Doom".

The band released its second full length album Solitary Impact with Stygian Crypt Productions on July 2010, along with their first official music video "The Taste of Treason". Soon after, they successfully made their first European appearance at Masters of Rock 2010 Festival in Czech Republic.

In 2013, Kimaera released their third album The Harbinger of Doom after inking a deal with the German label Eternal Sound Records. This was followed by a music video for the first album track Ancient Serpents.
