Coal Chamber Splits Up

Contrary to the April 24th post by COAL CHAMBER's Meegs that read "Coal Chamber is still going strong" - the exact opposite has occured...COAL CHAMBER are no more.

Meegs recently spoke out on his new bands official site PINATA (pinatamusic.com):

"What's up everyone, its Meegs-

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their support of PIÑATA. We are working hard on recording and preparing for our show at the end of August. After Coal Chamber, I went through a rough time, and having gone through that, I'm happy to have found five individuals that are not only musically talented, but have become my best friends. I hope we're doing well at communicating through the site, because we designed it to be very fan friendly. I apologize if we haven't answered all questions, but I promise we will in due time. In the future, I will discuss everything that happened with Coal Chamber, because there's alot of light that needs to be shed on the subject. I'm going to wait for the smoke to clear before I go further into Coal Chamber details. My time with CC was one of the most fun and rewarding times of my life. However, it was time for everyone in CC to move on. I hope everyone enjoys the music PIÑATA has posted so far because I do care about all of you and without you, I am nothing. Thank you thank you thank you and keep on posting. Everyone in PIÑATA truly appreciates the fact that fans care and have love for music. I will keep posting future journals, as well as the other members of PIÑATA. Keep music alive-

-Meegs"

COAL CHAMBER's new (but not new material) album, 'Giving The Devil His Due' hits stores July 29th. The album with B-Sides and demo's looks to be the last release from the land of the Chamber.
