Coal Chamber is a nu metal band from Los Angeles, CA, USA formed in 1995. They enjoyed some mainstream success inthemid to late 90's during thenu

Coal Chamber signed to Roadrunner Records and recorded their first album (both in 1996) for their self-titled debut in1997.The album was released
tocritical praise, especially for the first single 'Loco', a track that many fans consider thebandsfinest work.
Their next album, entitled Chamber Music, was released in the fall of 1999. This album was considered a step awayfromthe nu metal image theyhad
engendered with on their prior release, having instead a more gothic metal inspired feel. Onthisalbum also was a cover of a song originally doneby Peter
Gabriel in 1982 called 'Shock The Monkey' with legendaryrocker,Ozzy Osbourne, providing vocals in collaboration with the band’s lead singer,Dez Fafara.
The band followed up with their third album Dark Days in the spring of 2002, which met with mixed reviews.BassistRayna Foss-Rose had left
theband to raise her daughter before the album was recorded; she was replaced by NadjaPeulen,who had taken Foss-Rose’s place during her
pregnancybetween the first two albums. Rayna had a falling out of sortswithfrontman Dez Fafara saying that she and her husband had "found Christ" and
wouldbe leaving Coal Chamber for good.
Late summer 2003, saw the release of a compilation album, entitled Giving The Devil His Due, which includedseveraldemo tracks submitted bythe
band prior to their signing with Roadrunner Records in 1997, along with several alternatestudiorecordings and remixes of various tracks from
theirprevious releases. Coal Chamber disbanded in 2003, shortly afterleadvocalist Dez Fafara left to form the hard rock turned melodic death metal
groupDevilDriver.
In June 2005, Fafara stated that Coal Chamber’s hiatus is permanent and will not be reforming at any time in thefuture.However, in September 2011,it
was announced that Fafara, Cox and Rascón would reform the band with bassist ChelaRheaHarper, to play the Soundwave shows in Australia.
