Exploring the three dimensions in musicCOAL CHAMBER were the touring workhorses of the aggro-rock world, upon the release of their self-titled debut album. Without the benefit of significant radio or any MTV airplay, playing live was their only way to get the music to the fans. One live event, The Oz Fest contributed greatly to their early record sales. The band spent 18 grueling months on the road in support of that record, and through this touring work, reached near-gold status. The music ontheir debut album has been media fodder for the likes of CNN, MTV News, SPIN and YM and called "...King Kong on a skateboard, walloping and flattening just about everything in his path..." by KERRANG! The band call it the release of all the frustration and anger from trying to make it in the LA music scene. Songs off COAL CHAMBER like "Loco" and "Sway" became crowd favorites, and an outlet for the young "Spooky-core" kids to be themselves. The band have experienced an evolution in not only their look, but also in their music on their latest album, CHAMBER MUSIC.This album explores an entire range of emotions. It’s very three-dimensional. It explores love, happiness, pain, different kinds of hate, different kinds of coveting, by both yourself and other people, While the first record laid down a granite foundation of brutal, tuned-down guitars, agonized vocals, and hiphop- inflected beats, CHAMBER MUSIC merely uses those as a launching pad. CHAMBER MUSIC takes flight with songs written over a long period of time, drawing from a vast array of experiences. Meegs produces guitar sounds unlike anything heard before on earth, while strains of Gothic, classical, and electronic music all find their way into Coal Chamber’s audioscape. |
