Coal Chamber – Fiend
Coal Chamber was an American nu metal band from Los Angeles, California. The band formed in 1994 and disbanded in 2003. Former vocalist Dez Fafara and Meegs Rascon started She’s In Pain in 1992. The two deicided to create Coal Chamber in 1994. Their first drummer John Thor was eventually replaced by Mike Cox (who beat his older brother for the spot). Then bassist Rayna Foss joined, completing the Coal Chamber lineup.
In late 1994, Dino Cazares of Fear Factory championed a demo tape by Coal Chamber, causing a huge local stir with gigs at The Roxy Theatre and Whisky A Go Go, eventually leading Coal Chamber to an offer to sign with Roadrunner Records.
Fafara dropped out of the band quite suddenly due to disagreements with his wife about the band. In the spring of 1995, Dez reunited with Coal Chamber, ending his marriage but revitalizing the band. With a renewed sense of energy, Coal Chamber was able to regain their deal with Roadrunner by the end of 1995.
In 1997 their debut self-titled album Coal Chamber was released. Though they toured very heavily supporting this album, its mix of nu metal and goth rock imagery was not very successful.
Chamber Music followed two years later. Between the two releases bassist Rayna Foss had gotten married and become pregnant necessitating another bass player on tour; a role happily filled by Nadja Peulen.
Nadja continued playing bass for the recording of Coal Chamber’s third album as Rayna chose to leave the band to raise Kayla Moray Rose. Dark Days was released in the spring of 2002.

It’s ironic because you implied that I’m a coward and being a somewhat psychotic powerlifter willing to die lifting weights is the opposite of what one would expect from a coward.

Did you ever notice …
Did you ever notice that there are multiple definitions for the same word in the dictionary? Know why? Different contexts. Within a social context, you’re right, that’s what emo is. Within a musical context, however, emo is a sub-genre of punk. So, actually, I do know quite a bit of $#!&.
