Grave Considerations/Coffin Shaker/Mass Burial: Coal Chamber

This piece sorta just happened out of the blue, inspired by a story I read yesterday online wherein Dez Farfara, vocalist of the generally meh DevilDriver and formerly of the generally rad Coal Chamber, has publicly stated, again, that Coal Chamber is forever broken up, and is not coming back. Apparently, the greater purpose of this interview was to announce that DevilDriver is going to start playing Coal Chamber songs live, which is sort of an interesting possibility, and that this was preceded by another round of Dez calling the old band members and everyone swearing at each other. I kinda just wanted to take a few minutes and talk about this. Part thinkpiece, part album review, part discography dive, it’s hard to really say where this fits, but here it is regardless.
