Coal Chamber – Dark Days – 12 song CD (Roadrunner) **
Produced, Engineered, and Mixed by Ross Hogarth
I imagine a fifteen year old could do some exquisite bedroom brooding to these songs but I don’t think they’ll hold much appeal to anyone who has lived through high school.or Marilyn Manson.or White Zombie. It’s well produced and they have a chick bass player which we like but this quartet just isn’t very imaginative or innovative. They’re derivative, Ozzfest second stage goth-metal. Nothing as repugnant as Hanson’s Mmmbop, nothing memorable either. Contact: coalchamber.com -Eric Holland
