Coal Chamber Reunion Announced

2011-12-29 by YouGotLucky | 57 Comments
DevilDriver frontman Dez Fafara announced plans to reform Coal Chamber specifically for Soundwave shows in Australia.

Dez says, "Coal Chamber is playing Soundwave Down Under! These reunion shows are for the fans that want to see us again as well as all the people that never got to see Coal Chamber.

"It is and always will be a very special part of my life, so these few shows are for those people and for us. If you're not from Australia, better get a ticket now to come see this event!"

"Australia has never seen us, nor have we seen them," adds guitarist Meegs Rascón. "It will be an extraordinary exchange of energy and adrenaline. Hello Aussies, nice to meet you!"

"This reunion will mark a decade since we last played together, so staring at my brothers on stage face to face will be an emotional rollercoaster for me," says Meegs. "Tears of joy would be an understatement to say the least. You know, all of us have gone through our separate journeys in life, but we're coming back to rekindle this and throw the past in the past and put the future in our hands."

Drummer Mike Cox adds, "Of all the great achievements Coal Chamber made in the past, getting back together after all we've been through will be the greatest achievement to date."

"We've all grown up and put the personal past behind us now and are moving forward with these few shows in a spirit of friendship through music," states Dez. "You must remember where you came from in order to know where you are going."

Didn't Dez went out of his way on many interviews saying that playing with Coal Chamber again would be like going back to elementary school or some shit like that??

I still think Chamber Music is kinda good

Wow, what a blast from the past. This would bring me back to being in a freshman in high school. All we need is Korn to play Life is Peachy all the way through, Limp Bizkit to play # Dollah Bill Y'All front to back, Coal Chamber selftitled front to back, and then Sevendust to play self titled front to back. And have Full Devil Jacket open up. "I, ain't doin' nothin' wrong!!!"
