American nu‑metal band known for three studio albums: Coal Chamber (1997), Chamber Music (1999) and Dark Days (2002). Fronted by Dez Fafara with Meegs Rascón on guitar; reviews highlight heavy downtuned riffs, electronics and dark atmospheres.

Members mentioned in reviews: Dez Fafara (vocals), Miguel "Meegs" Rascón (guitar/noisemaker), Rayna Foss (bass) and Mike Cox (drums). Notable collaboration: Ozzy Osbourne appears on the band's cover of 'Shock The Monkey' (as cited in reviews).

DeBaser reviews portray Coal Chamber as a notable nu‑metal band whose three studio albums blend heavy, downtuned riffs with electronics and dark atmospheres. Critics praise expressive vocals and standout tracks while noting uneven endings on some records. The band is appreciated for escaping simple genre stereotypes.

For:Fans of 90s nu metal, alternative metal and dark, atmospheric heavy music.

 Coal Chamber can, in a sense, be considered the purists of nu metal: throughout their rather brief and tumultuous career, they released only three official albums and never showed any ignoble tendencies towards easy listening, not even when nu metal was a genre of mass consumption.
