Chimera

Chimera is the name of an unreleased full-length record by Triple Seven. It was to be their third studio album until it was cast aside in favor of Lilith's Epiphany. The date was slated for December 23, 2014. Information in regards to this effort was next to unknown until vocalist Ash Erickson mentioned about the specifics in a 2019 interview. Reportedly, in that same interview, she expressed delight at the prospect of Chimera getting a proper launch in the foreseeable future. She also acknowledged that she and the other members of the outfit need to get in touch with Equal Vision Records before the unmastered recordings can be heard by the public.

Composition
Chimera bore a similar aesthetic to the group's second official outing, fan favorite Ghost Romance. As was the case with the previous album, it too contained a myriad of disparate sounds while rooted in metal. Whereas Triple Seven's sophomore project had elements of post-hardcore, dark ambient, classical, alternative, drone and power pop, this one prided itself on drawing influence from the likes of jazz, prog, psychedelia, industrial, gothic and dance.
