COAL CHAMBER RETURNS!

Coal Chamber


Band Announces Signing With Napalm Records

Napalm Records is pleased to announce the signing of Los Angeles, California’s COAL CHAMBER, a band that stood as leaders at the forefront of new genres, constantly reinventing their sound and not fitting any mold except their own.   With sold out tours and millions of records sold, COAL CHAMBER owned “The Scene” from the mid nineties until their tumultuous breakup in May of 2002.  Now they have returned to take their place at the top where they once were and intend to be there for years to come.  Call it what you want  ~ “The Return,” “The Second Coming of…,” but no matter what you call it, be prepared for COAL CHAMBER to rule again.

Following a 12-plus year breakup the band reunited in 2011 and 2013 for Festival shows as well as an extensive North American tour. Now all four members of COAL CHAMBER (Dez Fafara, Nadja Peulen, Mikey Cox, Meegs) have decided the time was right to start in on a new COAL CHAMBER album.  The band is currently working on the new material that they hope to release next year.

Echoing his bandmates’ excitement and acknowledgment that they are all in the right place to start this new chapter together, Mikey Cox shared that “This is the first time in a long time that writing and recording a record feels right. Extremely grateful and excited for this new chapter in the world of COAL CHAMBER!! New music from CC is something we can’t wait to share with the many loyal fans that have stuck it out through everything!!! The evolution of COAL CHAMBER has begun!”  

 

And Meegs summed it all up with, “I’m so excited to be making music with my brothers and sister, and to the loyal fans who’ve been waiting for this! It’s been a long time coming, but the pieces of the puzzle are finally aligned right. The friendship, the camaraderie, the vibe of the band is perfect now. Can’t wait to unleash on the world!”

 

Napalm Records Vice President Thomas Caser sounded just as excited as the band:  “Rarely do you get the chance to work with a band that has been a pioneer of a whole genre. We are thrilled and proud to get this chance with COAL CHAMBER! A new chapter of the band’s history is being written and Napalm Records is committed to make it the most successful!”
