Coal Chamber

Coal Chamber

Downtuned, percussive riffs and spasmodic vocals define this blueprint of gothic nu metal. A high-tension record built on clicking bass and nervous energy.

February 11, 1997 · Globus International

A high-tension blend of paranoid whispers and explosive, groove-heavy aggression.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic opening bass riff of Loco that established the band's percussive identity.
The sudden shift from whispered, paranoid verses to explosive screaming in Sway.
The unsettling, extended hidden noise and feedback sections at the end of Pig.
