Get ready for a summer of sonic savagery! The “Fiend For The Fans Tour 2024” promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans of industrial metal, horror punk, and everything in between.
In a recent talk with the Loaded Radio podcast, COAL CHAMBER frontman Dez Fafara was asked about the possibility of new music from COAL CHAMBER, to wich he replied: “We’ve been discussing it. [Sigh] I take a sigh right there, and the reason is because I don’t wanna rush anything. I actually said to them… We booked [festival appearances at] Inkcarceration, Blue Ridge Rock Fest and Sick New World.
“That’s all we were gonna do this year until MUDVAYNE hit us up [about supporting them on their summer tour]. And I actually said to them about the MUDVAYNE run, ‘Let’s not do it. I’d rather just stay friends. Let’s do a few shows.’ But the point is when we’re all together, I realized that any problem we’ve ever had is gone. To think about it as any kind of continuing problem would be wrong. So, okay, cool. Let’s go do MUDVAYNE. And now, of course, talking about new music is very exciting for us.”
Dez continued: “I happen to feel like if [COAL CHAMBER‘s last album] ‘Rivals’, which was released 12 years ago — something like this; 10 [or] 12 years ago — if ‘Rivals’ would have been released now with where the genre is and where, I would say where nu metal is at this point, that record would be insane. We were 10, 12 years too early getting back together and releasing that record, in my opinion. But I guess it’s always good to preempt what’s coming down the line, and we surely did with ‘Rivals’. So if you’re a COAL CHAMBER fan, go check out ‘Rivals’, if you haven’t.”
Discussing the experience of returning to the live stage with COAL CHAMBER for the first time in eight years, Dez said: “[It was] unbelievable. We were all backstage. Of course there’s a hundred people back there with their cameras on us as we’re hugging. But it was amazing. We hit the stage… They were chanting ‘COAL CHAMBER‘, so it was 55, 60 thousand people chanting ‘COAL CHAMBER‘, which just absolute goosebumps on my arms.
“We came out. We killed it. The set was short — it was only 30, 35 minutes; something like that — so it was in and out. But it was at the height of the day. People were telling us that, ‘Your stage was the most packed of the day.’ Of course I’m not putting myself up against the bigger bands; I’m just saying that it is what it is. And then when I got off, I said to my wife, ‘What’s going on? What’s going on out there?’
“And she was, like, ‘They’re all singing you ‘Happy Birthday’, dummy.’ And I was, like, ‘Wow.’ So it was a pretty incredible weekend… It was an amazing time, man. And I’m grateful. I’m humbled by everybody who came. And the reception that we got was wonderful.”
COAL CHAMBER: A Legacy of Industrial Metal Reunions and New Music (SEO Optimized)
Industrial metal pioneers COAL CHAMBER carved a distinct path in the early 2000s. After a decade of head-banging hits and electrifying performances, the band went on hiatus in 2003, allowing members to explore other musical endeavors.
But the fire of COAL CHAMBER wasn’t extinguished for long. The band reunited in 2011, hitting the road once again to deliver their signature industrial metal anthems to a new generation of fans.
The excitement didn’t stop there. In 2014, the band decided to push forward with brand new material. The result? “Rivals,” a critically acclaimed studio album packed with fresh, aggressive tracks that proved the band hadn’t lost its touch.
Following the release of “Rivals” and subsequent touring, vocalist Dez Fafara temporarily returned to his other project, DEVILDRIVER, to record their 2016 album “Trust No One.”
However, the story doesn’t end there. COAL CHAMBER‘s legacy continued to resonate. In 2019, Dez Fafara‘s band DEVILDRIVER co-headlined a tour with STATIC-X, featuring songs in the setlist for the first time since the band’s initial hiatus.
This turn of events fueled speculation about COAL CHAMBER‘s future. Will there be more reunions? More new music? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: COAL CHAMBER‘s impact on the industrial metal scene remains undeniable.
