VERA MESMER Featuring Ex-COAL CHAMBER Bassist: 'Back From The Dead' Video Available

"Back From The Dead", the new video from VERA MESMER — the band featuring former REVEILLE guitarist Chris Turner (a.k.a. Christopher Mesmer) and ex-COAL CHAMBER bassist Nadja Peulen — can be viewed below. The clip was shot in January by Vicente and Fernando Cordero of Industrialism Films and is now available on iTunes as a single and video.

VERA MESMER's current lineup, which is completed by drummer Bones Elias (JULIEN-K),began in late 2010 when the trio began recording its first album with Christopher engineering and producing. The effort will be split up into two EPs, with the first described in a press release as "a six-song theatrical alt-rock storytelling with a series of videos and short stories to accompany the tales within the songs."

VERA MESMER's new EP, featuring "Back From The Dead" and a few choice special guests, will be available in the spring.

VERA MESMER's five-track debut EP, "The Gypsy Magician" (which doesn't feature Peulen),came out in 2007.

COAL CHAMBER rose to prominence with a gold-certified debut album in 1997 that established the group as one of the most promising bands on the then-emerging, so-called "nu metal" scene.

Nadja Peulen replaced COAL CHAMBER bassist Rayna Foss Rose in 1999 during Rose's pregnancy for almost 12 months while the band was on the road supporting its second album, "Chamber Music". Rayna came back to the band after her pregnancy leave and recorded COAL CHAMBER's third album, "Dark Days". Shortly after recording "Dark Days", Rayna quit the band and Nadja was recruited for the touring cycle that followed the CD's release. The band broke up during the "Dark Days" tour in 2002.
