Metal Anarchy

During a recent interview with Loaded Radio, Coal Chamber frontman Dez Fafara addressed the possibility of new music from the band. According to him, the group are “discussing it.”

Fafara said the following about new material:

“We’ve been discussing it. [Sigh] I take a sigh right there, and the reason is because I don’t wanna rush anything. I actually said to them… We booked [festival appearances at] Inkcarceration, Blue Ridge Rock Fest and Sick New World. That’s all we were gonna do this year until MUDVAYNE hit us up [about supporting them on their summer tour]. And I actually said to them about the MUDVAYNE run, ‘Let’s not do it. I’d rather just stay friends. Let’s do a few shows.’ But the point is when we’re all together, I realized that any problem we’ve ever had is gone. To think about it as any kind of continuing problem would be wrong. So, okay, cool. Let’s go do MUDVAYNE. And now, of course, talking about new music is very exciting for us.”

He also added:

“I happen to feel like if [COAL CHAMBER’s last album] ‘Rivals’, which was released 12 years ago — something like this; 10 [or] 12 years ago — if ‘Rivals’ would have been released now with where the genre is and where, I would say where nu metal is at this point, that record would be insane. We were 10, 12 years too early getting back together and releasing that record, in my opinion. But I guess it’s always good to preempt what’s coming down the line, and we surely did with ‘Rivals’. So if you’re a COAL CHAMBER fan, go check out ‘Rivals’, if you haven’t.”
