COAL CHAMBER & FILTER

Coal Chamber is an American nu metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1993. In 1997, their first album, Coal Chamber, was released. They toured very heavily supporting this album. The album produced one single and a video, “Loco”. The video was also added as an extra after the ending credits of Dee Snider’s film, Strangeland.

Shoving a fist in the face of tradition has been Filter’s modus operandi since the release of their self-produced debut album, Short Bus. The album’s rough-around-the-edges production consisted of inebriated answering machine samples, lavish bass lines, and jagged guitars set to a backdrop of drum machines punctuated by the unfurling of Richard Patrick’s vocal prowess and signature roar. Patrick, Filter’s magnetic, profoundly intelligent nucleus and frontman jubilantly admits that his creative process is unorthodox, whether he’s staring down and conquering new technology or coalescing with new bandmate and co-conspirator Jonny Radtke on Filter’s current release, The Sun Comes Out Tonight.
