ā€œWith a heavy heart, let me tell you a story about life taking a turn, Iā€™m writing to you from my bed.

Iā€™ve been running 6 miles daily, Iā€™ve been rehearsing two hours daily in my home studio and excited to hit the road, Iā€™m excited to get on a bus with my brothers and sister and my crew. Iā€™ d never felt better and as you all know, I fought back hard after long haul Covid tried to kill me.

Saturday morning I woke up and I was coming up my stairs. I saw flashes in my eyes. I passed out and my wife revived me.Ā My vitals were through the roof, and I was sheet white and vomiting, and the whole world was spinning.Ā Anahstasia called 911. I ended up in the back of an ambulance and did nine hours in the ER testing all my vitals including taking X-rays of my heart and lungs. My doctor has advised me to get a cat scan, and until further testing, I am on bedrest and must postpone the Tour.Ā Our agent sprung into action to rebook this tour for March 2025, and until we can figure out what the fuck medically is happening.

We will see you in March 2025 on the Fiend For The Fans Tour.Ā This tour postponement is surreal,Ā I was looking forward to playing with my band and connecting with fans, friends and family on the road.

I want to take a moment to thank everybody for their outpouring of love and outpouring of calls and texts checking on me. It seems like the word spread and the whole industry has been ringing my phone since Sunday; musicians, agents and managers and I really really appreciate it.

My band has been amazingly understanding and callĀ me hourly – I thank them immensely for their caring nature.

Kiss your loved ones, no one is promised tomorrow.Ā Iā€™ll fight my way back to be with you all onstage you can be sure of that as well Iā€™ll keep you all updated on my socials as to whatā€™s going on.Ā ApologiesĀ if this news causes you to rearrange your schedules to attend the concert with usĀ and I want to say thank you in advance.Ā We are all truly in the dark and Iā€™m looking forward to finding out whatā€™s going on.Ā HAIL”Ā –Ā Dez Fafara,Ā CoalĀ Chamber

“After hearing the shocking news of our brother, we collectively had to make some tough decisions as a family . We discussed every possible scenario and it all lead back making sure Dez’s health was the number 1 priority . In order for us to be 100% we need to take this extra time to allow him to make a full recovery so we can bring you the shows that you deserveĀ !! We look forward to seeing you all in March 2025!!”Ā  –Ā Mikey Cox,Ā CoalĀ Chamber

“Sometimes you have to make tough decisions and I know Dez, if he could be on tour right now he would but health and family come first.Ā We wish him a speedy recovery and we look forward to cybercrushing it on the ā€œFiends for the Fansā€tour 2025.”Ā –Ā Dino Cazares, Fear Factory

“It saddens us to hear about the tour, as we were hyped to see you all and get a chance to perform some of our brand new songs for the first time for you. That said, we want what’s best for everyone and extend a speedy recovery to Dez & look forward rocking some shows together in the very near future.” –Ā Twiztid

“With a heavy heart, we are announcing that theĀ CoalĀ Chamber tour will be postponed until March 2025. A couple days ago Dez experienced a startling medical emergency. He is stable and doing okay, but needs to take the time to recover and get back to full strength. We completely stand behind him in this decision as his health is TOP priority. We are family, and are wishing Dez a speedy recovery. We all know heā€™s an absolute animal and will come back even stronger. We will take America by storm next year withĀ CoalĀ Chamber.” –Ā Black Satellite

AboutĀ COALĀ CHAMBER:

Itā€™s been almost three decades sinceĀ CoalĀ Chamber, the Californian metal quartet, came screaming out of the dead zone of Hollywood in the early Nineties.

When singerĀ Bradley ā€˜Dezā€™ FafaraĀ andĀ Miguel ā€˜Meegsā€™ RascĆ³nĀ first met in 1992, these two hot-headed misfits first wrote songs under the nameĀ Sheā€™s In Pain, recruiting bassistĀ Rayna FossĀ and drummerĀ Mikey Cox. After renaming themselvesĀ CoalĀ ChamberĀ and honing a unique sound and art direction, the band broke through to public awareness with their gold-selling, self-titled debut album in 1997. A slot at the firstĀ OzzfestĀ and a management deal withĀ Sharon OsbourneĀ helped to propel the quartet to national level.

Over the next six years,Ā CoalĀ ChamberĀ experienced several lifetimesā€™ worth of excess, making their trajectory both unpredictable and stressful.Ā Tours with Danzig, Type O Negative, Megadeth, PanteraĀ and many other artists built their reputation, but substance abuse nearly derailed the musicians and intra-band tensions almost destroyed them.

Two more albums,Ā Chamber MusicĀ (1999) andĀ Dark DaysĀ (2002), came before their differing personalities finally drove them apart.Ā FossĀ quit afterĀ Dark DaysĀ and was replaced byĀ Nadja Peulen, and after 2003ā€™s compilation,Ā Giving The Devil His Due, no-one expected to hear fromĀ CoalĀ ChamberĀ again, especially afterĀ FafaraĀ embarked on a second career with the successfulĀ DevilDriver. This made the 2015 comeback albumĀ RivalsĀ all the more unexpected, with veteran 80s iconĀ Al Jourgensen of MinistryĀ guesting on trackĀ ā€œSuffer in Silenceā€, reassertingĀ CoalĀ Chamberā€™s authority for a new generation of metal fans.

International tours followed before the musicians went their separate ways, but eight years later still,Ā CoalĀ ChamberĀ returned for of successful live dates with Mudvayne throughout the U.S in 2023 as well as sold out shows 2024 in Australia.

You literally could not make this story up, and yet the 30 years of angst and adrenaline that make up this band of survivors can be heard in every note on the albums in this collection. Thereā€™s a reason why the word ā€˜Locoā€™ is so closely associated withĀ CoalĀ Chamberā€”and the madness isnā€™t over yet.

CoalĀ Chamber hits the road in March ofĀ 2025

Fiend For The Fans Tour.

It will be great to get out on the road withĀ CoalĀ ChamberĀ in the United States on our first headline run in almost 13 years! We are bringing some bad ass bands with us as well, so I look forward to seeing everyone at the shows!Ā –Ā Dez Fafara,Ā CoalĀ Chamber

“We canā€™t wait to hit the road with our long time friendsĀ CoalĀ Chamber. I remember the first time I heard their demo back in 1993-94 I had to tell Monte Conner (once A&R at Road Runner Records) about them, I have witnessed them become a LA local band to a overnight worldwide sensation , starting a whole Nu movement and the rest is history.Ā See all you Cyber Metal Heads on the road.”

–Ā Fear Factory

“We toured together back in 1999, which is crazy to think about. Now 26 years later we’re joiningĀ CoalĀ ChamberĀ on theirĀ Fiend for the Fans TourĀ and taking things back to the old school. Thereā€™s something for everybody on this tour and weā€™re thrilled to be part of it!”Ā – Twiztid

ā€œWe are beyond thrilled to hit the road withĀ CoalĀ ChamberĀ for their first headline tour in over a decade. So honored to be part of such a stacked lineup. Weā€™ll be playing some killer new songs and canā€™t wait to see everyone out at these shows!ā€Ā – Black Satellite
