NEW SITE CHANGES!

You may have noticed that over the past few months quiet changes have been made to the site. First we gave you new artist pages. Check out your favorite and you'll find widgets, videos, music, and much more. Plus they look great.

A few weeks back we also updated our Artists page. You'll see highlighted artists up top in blue. These change as artists are updated with news, video, and music. This is a great page to make your first port-of-call after the news section!

Today we've relaunched three other pages. Music and Video are all new. You can now embed all of our music and video posted to the site in your blog, web site, or MySpace/Facebook profiles. At the right of these pages you'll see charts driven by what YOU do on our site. You can also leave comments at all songs and videos, rate them, and favorite them in our new profile system (more on that in a sec).













 

The Releases page has gotten a huge makeover. Every album now has its own home page where you can see the available tracks, rate it, leave a review, or comment on others' reviews. Snazzy huh?

Finally, we just launched our new profile pages. If you're a subscriber to our email newsletters, you can log in, add your own picture, keep track of the latest updates on our site (and partner sites), follow your favorite videos and music, and tell us what bands you want to hear about.

Of course, many of these new features require that you be a member of the site to use them, so please join today!

We are, of course, in a beta phase and need your help to make the site work the best for YOU. If you see any problems or want to suggest changes to the new features, please send an email to webmaster@roadrunnerrecords.com with "NEW SITE REPORT" in the subject line. If you receive an error, please be as detailed as possible, including what page you were on, what browser you are using, and copy any error message you receive into the body of the email.

Please feel free to leave comments here below!

Cheers!

Roadrunner Discography

Release Date: 09.27.2005

Coal Chamber [RR 25th Anniversary Reissue]

In celebration of Roadrunner's 25th Anniversary, we are re-releasing this classic album. Here is what A&ampR main man Monte Connor had to say about the record: &quotAh, the ever controversial Coal Chamber. The controversy started because Coal Chamber were the very first band after Korn to come out with that then-distinctive nu metal sound. As much as they were maligned back in the day, it is ironic that now, some 500 nu metal bands later, Coal Chamber has had the last laugh because history has been kind to the band and they are now regarded as real innovators of that sound. Some of the songs here are still timeless, like 'Loco,' 'Big Truck' 'Sway' and 'Oddity.' Simply put, this was the right record at the right time and it really struck a nerve with the kids in a huge way." Included in the re-release: CD/DVD SPECIAL EDITION CD includes 6 bonus tracks with expanded booklet and liner notes DVD contains unreleasd concert footage filmed early in the band's carreer Track listing: 1.

Best Of Coal Chamber

Formed in Los Angeles in the spring of 1994, the music of Coal Chamber is the sound of internal combustion. Espousing a raw, brutal, down-tuned sound, their goth, hip-hop & hardcore influences can be clearly heard in Dez's ominous whispers, guttural growls, and belligerent bellows, Meeg's anarchistic guitar playing, and bassist Rayna and drummer Mike's relentless, thundering rhythms. Tension defined Coal Chamber throughout its 8 year existence and the music they left behind, as showcased on this compilation, serves as both a testament to their resilience and a document of their demons.

Tracks:

   1. Loco [ listen/comment ]
   2. Oddity
   3. Big Truck
   4. Sway
   5. Clock
   6. Not Living
   7. El Cu Cuy [ listen/comment ]
   8. Tyler's Song
   9. My Mercy
  10. Fiend [ listen/comment ]
  11. Something Told Me
  12. Dark Days
  13. Beckoned
  14. One Step

Format: CD

Giving The Devil His Due

Coal Chamber's new album, Giving The Devil His Due, isn't new at all. In fact, some of the over 20 tracks that make up this album were recorded over 5 years ago. . . and that is what makes this album so special!

Not a traditional "B-sides" album, Giving The Devil His Due is instead a collection of songs that traces the sonic growth and breadth of that band of gothic metalmongers that we affectionately call Coal Chamber. Full of remixes (many of them far superior to the originals), demos (dating back from BEFORE the band was even signed), soundtrack recordings AND ONE ALL NEW SONG, "Headstones and the Walking Dead," this album is a must-have for anyone who has every moshed to the thunderous clamor of "Loco," gone into overdrive for "Big Truck," or well, swayed, to the rocking groove of "Sway."

Over 20 tracks, more than 70 minutes of music and liner notes from the guy that signed them - Giving The Devil His Due gives fans of Coal Chamber everything they were due and more.

Tracks:

   1. Headstones and the Walking Dead"
   2. Big Truck (Hand-On-Wheel Mix)
   3. Pig (Original Version)
   4. Bradley (Going Postal Mix)
   5. Sway (Hypno-Submissive Mix)
   6. Not Living (Original Version)
   7. Blisters  
   8. El Cu Cuy [ listen/comment ] (Man-to-Monster Mix)
   9. Wishes
  10. Apparition
  11. Anxiety
  12. Save Yourself
  13. One Step (Chop Shop Mix)
  14. Big Truck (Live)
  15. I (Demo)
  16. Oddity (Demo)
  17. Sway (Demo)
  18. Unspoiled (Demo)
