Coal Chamber
Coal Chamber were among the first wave of nu-metal bands to emerge from Los Angeles in the mid-'90s, pairing Dez Fafara's sneering vocals with dark, gothic-tinged riffs and industrial textures. Their 1997 self-titled debut and follow-up 'Chamber Music' helped establish the nu-metal blueprint alongside peers like Korn and Deftones. Though Fafara went on to greater commercial success with DevilDriver, Coal Chamber's grimy, theatrical take on heavy music remains a touchstone of the era.
