Rivals by Coal Chamber

After 13 years, this traditional nu steel band is now providing you with punch to the face and exclaiming simply that. In the event you don’t know, Coal Chamber is a component if the choice/nu steel wave of the mid 90s, have launched 4 albums within the 90s and early 2000s after which disappeared to a different mission referred to as Satan Driver which consisted of extra of a groove steel sound. When in comparison with the likes of different first wave nu steel bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot, I must say they’re the unsung heroes of the period.
Since Satan Driver, this album redefines the traditional Coal Chamber sound with among the angle from that band going into this album. It isn’t all that arduous to inform both with the very heavy, virtually trendy groove steel riffs that may be heard in tracks like The Bridges You Burn and the title monitor.

This album additionally might need the potential of reviving the nu steel style as effectively as a result of Metalcore and Deathcore are taking on too extremely and nu steel was at an enormous decline by then. The bassline may be very audible this time round identical to the times of previous. This might not be your grandfather`s Korn or traditional Coal Chamber however it’s important to take into accounts that that is now extra groove nu steel in a way thus constructing upon their previous stuff. It might,not be pretty much as good as different comebacks like Triptychan, Carcass or Arcturus however they made an enormous step and it labored effectively. I received handy it to them. The Satan Driver and Coal Chamber mixture is simply a good way to return again.
I give it an eight/10 attributable to combos of the 2 initiatives but in addition for some unneeded repetition and it simply being nu steel. However it’s simply one of many higher nu steel releases I’ve heard but. I’m the Grim Reaper, signing off.
