New COAL CHAMBER Bassist Chela Rhea Harper's SARASVATI Audio Samples Online
March 9, 2012, 12 years ago
While compiling material from the recently wrapped-up Soundwave Festival tour in Australia, BW&BK; stumbled across new Toronto-based COAL CHAMBER bassist Chela Rhea Harper's official Soundcloud page featuring several examples of her own work. It includes four demos of her one-woman Middle Eastern/Indian-influenced project, SARASVATI. A self-proclaimed metal nerd, Harper lays down vocals, guitar, bass, does some programming and “pseudo hand drumming” on the four demos, which have been online for about a year.
Go to this location for more examples of Harper's work. Watch for her interview with BW&BK;, coming soon.
Below is a Coal Chamber interview conducted before they played their first show together in almost a decade in Brisbane during Soundwave. The band features singer Dez Fafara (also DEVILRIVER), guitarist Miguel Rascón, bassist Chela Harper and drummer Mike Cox.
