Bassist Rayna Foss Rose is ready to return to the road with her fellow Coal Chamber comrades after a maternity leave that began last fall.

The bassist will once again be at the side of her bandmates when Coal Chamber kicks off a co-headlining tour with Type O Negative in late January. Dates for the outing, dubbed "Disastour 2000," have yet to be confirmed.

Rayna (who gave birth to a baby girl in October) hasn't been able to tour with the group since the release of Coal Chamber's latest effort, "Chamber Music," in September. During her absence, Coal Chamber relied on the talents of bassist Nadja Puelen for its "Livin' La Vida Loco" tour with Slipknot, Machine Head, and AMEN.
