It will be great to get out on the road with Coal Chamber in the United States on our first headline run in almost 13 years! We are bringing some badass bands with us as well, so I look forward to seeing everyone at the shows! – Dez Fafara, Coal Chamber

“We can’t wait to hit the road with our long-time friends Coal Chamber. I remember the first time I heard their demo back in 1993-94 I had to tell Monte Conner (once A&R at Road Runner Records) about them, I have witnessed them become an LA local band to an overnight worldwide sensation, starting a whole Nu movement and the rest is history. See all you Cyber Metal Heads on the road.” – Fear Factory

“We toured together back in 1999, which is crazy to think about. Now 25 years later we’re joining Coal Chamber on their Fiend for the Fans Tour and taking things back to the old school. There’s something for everybody on this tour and we’re thrilled to be part of it!” – Twiztid

“We are so excited to be hitting the road with our friends in Coal Chamber, as they were such a driving force in the late 90s/2000s. We will be heading down memory lane on this tour as we perform a set of Murderdolls classics. Don’t Miss This.” –Wednesday 13

“We are beyond thrilled to hit the road with Coal Chamber for their first headline tour in over a decade. So honored to be part of such a stacked lineup. We’ll be playing some killer new songs and can’t wait to see everyone out at these shows!” – Black Satellite

About COAL CHAMBER:

It’s been almost three decades since Coal Chamber, the Californian metal quartet, came screaming out of the dead zone of Hollywood in the early Nineties.

When singer Bradley ‘Dez’ Fafara and Miguel ‘Meegs’ Rascón first met in 1992, these two hot-headed misfits first wrote songs under the name She’s In Pain, recruiting bassist Rayna Foss and drummer Mikey Cox. After renaming themselves Coal Chamber and honing a unique sound and art direction, the band broke through to public awareness with their gold-selling, self-titled debut album in 1997. A slot at the first Ozzfest and a management deal with Sharon Osbourne helped to propel the quartet to the national level.

Over the next six years, Coal Chamber experienced several lifetimes’ worth of excess, making their trajectory both unpredictable and stressful. Tours with Danzig, Type O Negative, Megadeth, Pantera and many other artists built their reputation, but substance abuse nearly derailed the musicians and intra-band tensions almost destroyed them.

Two more albums, Chamber Music (1999) and Dark Days (2002), came before their differing personalities finally drove them apart. Foss quit after Dark Days and was replaced by Nadja Peulen, and after 2003’s compilation, Giving The Devil His Due, no one expected to hear from Coal Chamber again, especially after Fafara embarked on a second career with the successful DevilDriver. This made the 2015 comeback album Rivals all the more unexpected, with veteran 80s icon Al Jourgensen of Ministry guesting on the track “Suffer in Silence”, reasserting Coal Chamber’s authority for a new generation of metal fans.

International tours followed before the musicians went their separate ways, but eight years later, Coal Chamber still returned for successful live dates with Mudvayne throughout the U.S. in 2023 and sold-out shows in 2024 in Australia.

You literally could not make this story up, and yet the 30 years of angst and adrenaline that make up this band of survivors can be heard in every note on the albums in this collection. There’s a reason why the word ‘Loco’ is so closely associated with Coal Chamber—and the madness isn’t over yet.

Coal Chamber hits the road on August 23rd for the 28-date Fiend For The Fans Tour 2024 PLUS both the Rocklahoma and Aftershock Festivals!
