REVIEW: Coheed and Cambria – The Afterman: Descension

Artist: Coheed and Cambria
Album: The Afterman: Descension
Genre: Progressive Rock
Label: Hundred Handed/Everything Evil

It seems strange to write an album review for Coheed and Cambria so soon after the last. Part 1 of the Afterman double album still resonates with me as new, yet the second part has come, eager for my ear.

And my ear it has had. For several weeks I’ve soaked up all The Afterman: Descension has to offer and subsequently attempted to cultivate the words to use in a review. My best will be done to refrain from gushing over you, but no …

REVIEW: Coheed and Cambria – The Afterman: Ascension

Artist: Coheed and Cambria
Album: The Afterman: Ascension
Genre: Progressive Rock
Label: Hundred Handed/Everything Evil

Sometimes bands don’t hit their notes quite right. While they may be masters of their own craft and play their instruments with the utmost precision, the ending result of a year’s work writing and months of studio sessions may be… disappointing.

Coheed and Cambria made their way into my life with The Second Stage Turbine Blade, my heart with In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3, and my last.fm top 5 with Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through

WATCH: Claudio Sanchez Discusses Coheed and Cambria’s Latest Album

Claudio Sanchez sat down with Billboard.com to discuss Coheed and Cambria‘s latest effort, The Afterman: Ascension.

Sanchez goes through the album, explaining what inspired each song and how the storyline for The Afterman, set within the Amory Wars realm, came to be.

“A lot of the songs are just really a recount of the things that I had gone through in the past two years,” the 35-year-old singer told Billboard.

The Afterman: Ascension dropped yesterday, October 9 and can be purchased here. Watch Claudio go through the album, track by track, here.

The Prize Fighter Inferno EP To Debut at New York Comic Con

Claudio Sanchez is putting in the overtime this fall to give me a heart attack.

Following the announcement of a Coheed and Cambria double album, an incredible preorder package, and a screen adaptation of his comic book, The Amory Wars, there is still more for Children of the Fence to be excited about.

Come October 11th, the long-awaited Half Measures EP from The Prize Fighter Inferno will see the light of day (and wax). This Coheed and Cambria side project fits in with the universe created by Sanchez in his comic book series, so where better to present …

The track comes off of the group’s forthcoming sixth album, The Afterman: Ascension, which is due to drop on October 9 via Hundred Handed and Everything Evil Records.

WATCH/DOWNLOAD: Coheed and Cambria – “Sentry The Defiant”

We’re about a week late in getting to this bit of news, but we figure if it slipped passed us, a few others may have also missed it.

In any case, Coheed and Cambria’s own Claudio Sanchez took the time to record a one take acoustic video of a brand new Coheed and Cambria song called “Sentry The Defiant.” This is likely the first real look at the material being prepared for the band’s upcoming album. This is an exciting year for the fans and members of the band, we’ll be watching them closely from here on out.

Coheed and Cambria post teaser video.

Finally, they are back. Coheed and Cambria thrilled fans today by posting a teaser video (after the jump) showing the band practicing a new song. This alone is enough for any child of the Fence to ruffle their Prise feathers. If you didn’t understand any of that last sentence, I suggest you read the Amory Wars and get informed.

Before that however, this video has to give you the double whammy. The video shows 3 members of the band that until recently comprised of two. Intrigued?
