Hunter was criticized by a Twitter user, who told him: “It’s not rly Chimaira anymore.Only Mark left and others just carry the bands name, that was made before by others.”
Hunter replied to the tweet, stating:
“do your homework. Who named band? Who formed it? Who writes the music? Da fuck outtahere”

“Ps..brash vs. Sense of humor and pointing out facts are two different things.”
“PS 2 – I don’t have to defend anything. Its clear peolple understand and respect the decision to move forward. That’s what matters.”
“PS 3 – the 6 of us feel alive playing music and enjoy carrying on the tradition of what was while making it new.”
