Nu-metal heroes Coal Chamber are to reform for live shows in 2012.

The band are reforming in order to play at next year’s Soundwave Festival in Australia.

In their lifetime as an active band, Coal Chamber never visited Australia. Frontman Dez Fafara says: “These reunion shows are for the fans that want to see us again as well as all the people that never got to see Coal Chamber. It is and always will be a very special part of my life, so these few shows are for those people and for us. If you’re not from Australia, better get a ticket now to come see this event!”

There are currently no plans to play live shows anywhere in the northern hemisphere.

Coal Chamber broke up in 2003. After the split, Fafara formed metal band DevilDriver. Second bassist Nadja Peulen is currently working on material with her band Vera Mesmer.

Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams has extended his run of UK shows in support of his thirteenth full-length album ‘Ashes & Fire’.

The alt-country artist previously confirmed shows at London’s Union Chapel (October 27th) and the Grand Opera House, York (Octobr 28th).

Fans can now catch Adams at a third UK date when he appears at Cadogan Hall in London on November 1st.

‘Ashes & Fire’ is released via PAX-AM Records on October 10th, but the prolific songwriter may have written a new album’s worth of material by the time he arrives in the UK at the end of the month…

According to an interview with frontman Steven Tyler, Aerosmith’s next album could be released as soon as March. Original reports suggested a May release, but Tyler hopes the album will be completed sooner.

The band began work on the yet-to-be-titled record in July with legendary producer Jack Douglas, the man who twiddled the knobs on the band’s classic 70s records ‘Toys In The Attic’, ‘Rocks’ and more.

Tyler says the new album will be “raw, nasty, tough rock with a good deal of the old Aerosmith’ tongue in cheek.'”

At the time of writing, no official track titles have been revealed.
