Coal Chamber

Without getting into any discussions about who came first, or whether one band is influenced by the other, the fact is that Coal Chamber beared more than a passing resemblance to Korn, right down to the downtuned guitars, the quirky/tortured vocal style, the drum rhythms, pretty much the entire style is similar. Having said that, it must be said that Coal Chamber doesn't merely sound like a Korn clone -- rather, they play this style quite well and with conviction. They broke up in 2003, with vocalist Dez Fafara later forming DevilDriver, but then reformed in 2011.
