However firm you can be about the impossibility of your old band ever reforming, of ever playing this or that song or of seeing this or that musician ever returning, a door always remains open. History has proven this fact many a time, to the great displeasure of those who have absolutely no desire to yield and really never will, and who are still condemned to being asked the question anyway, “just in case”. Too strong an assertion would be seen as an emotional reaction and lose any credibility. Too composed a statement would create another type of reaction: “There’s no animosity between them, so it is possible!” In the end, it’s probably best not to say anything. But even then…
Because some separations happen in a very emotional context, it is logical that some bands should declare, driven by their current anger, that they will never reform. But after this legitimate and rational reaction, you start seeing things differently.
It’s the case for Dez Fafara and Coal Chamber, who intend to give a few shows at the beginning of 2012. Although Devildriver is now his priority and he remains adamant regarding his desire to not take on too much, the following statement during the present interview is slightly more moderate: “I want to go on a date with this girl. I want to have a drink with her and see how it goes. I’ll treat her to dinner in Australie and if all goes well, maybe we can see each other again”. You know as well as we do, dear readers, that sometimes, a simple cup of coffee with an ex can get out of control… More seriously, if Dez rejects the possibility of Coal Chamber going back to the studio, it seems likely that few show in 2012 shall not be the last.
Among the information gathered during this interview, conducted on the occasion of Devildriver’s tour as Machine Head’s opening act, there’s the fact that the band have already started to write a new album, and a few hints regarding Dez’s collaboration with Mark Morton (Lamb Of God), where the frontman will evolve in a different vocal range, close to that of… Soundgarden!
