Coal Chamber
Rip the cob-webs away and get ready to rock. Coal Chambers fusion of hardcore rhythm, grungy (and
definitely not in the "Seattle" grungy-sense) guitar, and animalistic vocals make for one damn good intense
record. The music by Megs Rascon, Rayna, and Mike Cox is fully thick and extremely heavy. Dez Fafara
does a solid job on vocals and as a whole, Coal Chamber manages to pull off a good effort. Although
Coal Chamber exudes much of the same power and sound as Korn, they do so in their own way. Coal
chambers sound tends to be more straight forward rock, whereas Korn embraces far more funk and
hip-hop elements. Coal Chamber is at its best on songs like "Loco", "I", "My Frustration", and
"Dreamtime". The songs really rock. Their aggression and heaviness are truly commendable. Coal
Chamber is a very strong album that fans of super-heavy music are sure to dig. - Ben Reed
