In 1996, the band played the very first Ozzfest. In 1997, their first album Coal Chamber was released; it produced one single and a video, "Loco" (the video was also added after the end credits of Dee Snider's horror film Strangeland, the soundtrack for which the band also recorded an exclusive song).
Their second album Chamber Music followed in 1999. Between the releases, Foss married Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose and became pregnant, necessitating another bass player on tour, a role filled by Nadja Peulen. Foss came back for the recording of Coal Chamber's third album, Dark Days (2002), but left after the studio sessions to raise her daughter. The band's only single and video was the song "Fiend."
Their 4th album Rivals released on May 19th, 2015. The singles on it were I.O.U Nothing and Rivals. It stepped away from the gothic elements from the last 2 albums and was described as groove/nu metal. They disbanded a year after the album was released.
They reunited in 2022, and so far no hints of new music will be released.

Then just remember that I will always be there.
When I say to you daddy loves you understand.
I'm out in the real world again I'm trying.
Raise your guard again.
They don't give a damn.
Don't compromise your ideas for anyone else.
When I say to you daddy loves you understand I'm out in the real world again and I'm trying.
Raise your guard again. they don't give a damn.
Son, if the sun don't shine ill try like hell to make light from the dark for you.
Raise your guard again.
They don't give a damn.
Go son.
