COAL CHAMBER's FAFARA Offers Update On Upcoming B-Sides Album, New Material

February 5, 2003

COAL CHAMBER frontman Dez Fafara has posted the following message to the band's official web site:

"Hello COAL CHAMBER kids. This is Dez and I got some great news for anybody that's into COAL CHAMBER stuff.

"It has come to my attention that Roadrunner Records would like to put out a b-sides album using b-sides from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd COAL CHAMBER albums as well as some unreleased material that has never been heard.

"Yesterday (02/03),[COAL CHAMBER guitarist] Meegs Rascon and I were on the phone discussing how we can best help Roadrunner to approach this. I myself, have numerous unheard tracks as well as over 100 live shows recorded to DAT.

"We in COAL CHAMBER would definitely like to see some live stuff on this album, as COAL CHAMBER has always been a live band first. We would like all of you to write into the site and tell us what you would want to hear on this b-sides. In other words, we want your ideas so we can best serve all the people who listen to our music.

"In other news, while I am working on my project DEATHRIDE, and Meegs is working on a side project of his own, we have jointly come together and spoken about another COAL CHAMBER album. Meegs has already written 3-4 new tracks and [COAL CHAMBER bassist] Nadja [Peulen] will begin going over to Meegs' house next week to lay her bass tracks. So you never know...there might be something in the works quicker than we think.

"There's room in this world for a lot of music, and it looks like you're going to be getting a lot of music from us. By the way, COAL CHAMBER's new drummer is exceptional.

"That's it for now...haven't written a message in a while on this site. Hope everyone is doing well. Keep listening to heavy music, and keep your ears tuned towards Roadrunner Records."
