Coal chamber fiend

Coal Chamber was an American nu metal band from Los Angeles, California. The band formed in 1994 and disbanded in 2003. Former vocalist Dez Fafara and Meegs Rascon started She's In Pain in 1992. The two decided to create Coal Chamber in 1994. Their first drummer John Thor was eventually replaced by Mike Cox (who beat his older brother for the spot). Then bassist Rayna Foss joined, completing the Coal Chamber lineup.

In late 1994, Dino Cazares of Fear Factory championed a demo tape by Coal Chamber, causing a huge local stir with gigs at The Roxy Theatre and Whisky A Go Go, eventually leading Coal Chamber to an offer to sign with Roadrunner Records.

Fafara dropped out of the band quite suddenly due to disagreements with his wife about the band. In the spring of 1995, Dez reunited with Coal Chamber, ending his marriage but revitalizing the band. With a renewed sense of energy, Coal Chamber was able to regain their deal with Roadrunner by the end of 1995.

In 1997 their debut self-titled album Coal Chamber was released. They toured very heavily supporting this album. The album spawned one single and video, "Loco". The video was also added as an extra after the ending credits of Dee Snider's film, Strangeland. The band also did an exclusive song for the soundtrack titled 'Not Living'.

Chamber Music followed two years later. Between the two releases and after the band's tour with metal act Sevendust, bassist Rayna Foss had gotten married to Sevendust's drummer Morgan Rose. She soon became pregnant, necessitating another bass player on tour; a role happily filled by Nadja Peulen.

Rayna came back for the recordings of Coal Chamber's third album, but finally left right after the studio sessions to raise Kayla Moray Rose. Dark Days was released in the spring of 2002. Their only single and video was for the track 'Fiend'.

@Jsunknown Only Dez is in DevilDriver. Mikey and Meegs went on to We Are The Riot, and Nedja went on to Vera Mesmer.

[DedziDerranged]

Too bad they're not together now. I like Devildriver, but I like Coal Chamber more. I like the industrial sound they have better.

@HELLCIUSMS Thanks glad and kinda disappointed to know that,aside from the vocals it bothered me because it was censored

[HELLCIUSMS]

@RobDiaz97 This is the original song, and the best they try to clean the vocals to sound more POP, but it was not a band decision, was a fuck label to try to sell more.
