Coheed and Cambria has kept busy for the last year. After their 2010 album, Year of the Black Rainbow, was met with lukewarm reviews from their fanbase, it seems like that was just the kick they needed to get things groovin’ again. In 2011, the band’s original drummer, Josh Eppard, left his new band (Terrible Things) and confirmed his reunion with Coheed and Cambria again, putting a heap of excitement back into the camp.
Co&Ca would then go on to release two albums in a year’s time, The Afterman: Ascension and The Afterman: Descension. The two parter brought plenty of fans back on board, myself
included. And I was definitely excited to see what these guys had in store for Houston.
Hit the jump for the review.

forgive me, for i have mistaken this coheed and cambria music video for a TOOL music video. and that’s not a bad thing. weird ass animorphs and shit, and a great jam to backdrop over the whole thing.
the afterman: descension is in stores now.

conan o brien was the first place coheed and cambria brought their album the afterman: descension to showcase. with their first televised performance of the atmospheric and plenty-layered “dark side of me,” they’re starting things off proper, promotionally speaking. oh and how swt is it to see josh epp behind the kit?!
descension is out 2/5.

coheed and cambria are now in full throttle descension mode. and for some odd reason, teamcoco has the premiere of their new single, “dark side of me,” which precedes the band’s performance on 1/21, where they’ll premiere this track live. if you’ve heard this song, then it’s probably because you’ve heard the remix by michael einzinger (of incubus fame) – which you can still check that out here. great track either way, though.
the afterman: descension is out feb 5th.

late pass, but here’s a great acoustic performance of “goodnight, fair lady” from coheed and cambria’s comeback album (in2 my heart, that is) in the afterman: ascension. really looking forward to what ails from descension in 2013.

with coheed’s latest release the afterman: ascension winning over fans who jumped ship after black rainbow (cough, me), they’re quickly moving towards the descension side of things, with “the hard sell” and its accompanying lyric video to set things off. sure, “sentry the giant” is out there, but this one’s a bit more official.

take a trip out to the beach with coheed and cambria, in the music video for their groovy track, “the afterman,” from the afterman: ascension. the album was a nice surprise and huge change of pace from the clustercuss that was year of the black rainbow, so i’m looking forward to their show in march. also, part 2 of the afterman (descension) hits stores in february.

as if this tour lineup wasn’t enough, the band’s new album, descension (the afterman’s part II) will be hitting stores in february. this tour — takes place around the same time and also employs sargent house powerhouse russian circles. hit the jump for the full routing, and we’ll see you guys at bayou music center.

coheed & cambria are officially back. i’ve had a vacation away, especially because no world for tomorrow and year of the black rainbow were “less than stellar,” but the afterman’s first part seems to be a return to all the things that made me love this band in the first place. stream the whole thing over at rolling stone.

rolling stone just premiered coheed and cambria’s downtrodden and pacing title track from their upcoming record, the afterman. part I: the ascension, will be out october 9th, and “the afterman” is just one of nine tracks from the record. listen below – it’s probably not what you’re expecting after “domino: the destitute.”

not only do we have a studio quality listen of CoCa’s lead single from the afterman, but we have a full length, 8 minute music video to pair it with. i have to say, this is the best coheed song i’ve heard in years. very excited for this record, dropping october 9.

coheed and cambria prepares their new album, the afterman for the first time the other night. an 8 minute song? looks like the band is primed for a return to the beauty that was in keeping secrets.

never shying away from the sci-fi elements or weird shit like astronauts flying solo, coheed and cambria announce a new double album in a way only coheed and cambria would. the double album, deemed the afterman, will see the first volume hit retail on october 9th, and the 2nd hit sometime in february of 2013.
