Forgive me for being lazy and not actually going and checking, but I think Mark Hunter posted on Twitter that this was a big misunderstanding that got posted online somehow, and it's not true at all.
EDIT: Just saw that your link points to their website. Disregard what I said previously.
Call me crazy but I'm kind of happy to hear this. Chimaira was starting to get a bit....stale? Hopefully they can move on and start another project that will kick as much as Chimaira used to.
