We all know by now Coal Chamber is releasing their first album since 2002's Dark Days in spring 2015, but news of Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen being on the album is news to us. Metal Insider initially pointed out Jourgensen showing up on Coal Chamber frontman Dez Fafara's Instagram account before reaching out to to the band themselves for comment about the speculation. They were… straight forward.
So guest spot- confirmed!
The band also confirmed a new headlining tour with Filter, Combichrist and American Head Charge starting next March. Here are the dates:
