“Niratias” is one of the band’s most provocative records to date. Teaming with longtime producer Joe Barresi [Avenged Sevenfold, Queens of the Stone Age], CHEVELLE recorded throughout 2019 and 2020 and ultimately pieced together an inimitable body of work. The album artwork was designed by Boris Vallejo — the famed and award-winning artist is responsible for the posters used for films like Knightriders andNational Lampoon’s Vacation, as well as iconic ’70s and ’80s science fiction novel covers and magazines (such as Heavy Metal).
Over the course of its career, the Chicago rockers have generated nearly half-a-billion streams, notched seven No. 1 hits, and sold out shows worldwide. Their catalog spans the double-platinum “Wonder What’s Next”, which boasts the double-platinum smash “The Red” and the platinum hit “Send The Pain Below.” “This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)” attained platinum status, while “Vena Sera” was certified gold. Chevelle have landed four Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, including “Sci-Fi Crimes” [2009], “Hats Off to the Bull” [2011], “La Gárgola” [2014], and “The North Corridor” [2016]. The latter two each captured the #1 slot on the Top Rock Albums Chart.
