A Press Release from “Coheed and Cambria”

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

For those of you who are familiar with the group “Coheed and Cambria,” this announcement from their website will be of some interest to you:

Hey Everybody,

Happy Holidays and all that. We know you have been waiting patiently for Coheed info for 2010, so we hope this fills your hunger for now:

Our new album will be titled, “Year of the Black Rainbow,” and is set for release in April 2010 and will be followed by a headline tour of the US, and then on to Europe and the UK for festivals and such.

As most of you know, the new album will be the “Origin Story” or “The Prequel,” and likely the final story of the ongoing concept story of “The Amory Wars”

With “Year of the Black Rainbow,” we will be releasing a deluxe package that includes a NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME. Not a graphic novel, but a full 300+page prose novel, which will tell the origins of Coheed and Cambria, and much more. There will be no mystery to this story, you will be able to explore it like never before. Presales will start near the end of December, exact date and pricing to be announced soon.

Co-writing the book with Claudio is Peter David.

The album will be released through Columbia Records/Sony in North America. For the rest of the world, Sony has licensed the rights to Roadrunner Records, who we feel will better make our music available in those territories, and opening up the potential for us to come to countries we rarely or never have been to before. We are very excited.

Can’t wait til you can experience it.

Peace,
Co&Ca

  1. Yeah, RIGHT! This is amazing. Coheed and Cambria are one of my favourite bands of all time (it’s prog rock with a hint of hardcore in it). I read the first Amory Wars comic that Claudio wrote and I felt it was decent but the story was a little all over the place (it was, like, 10 comics crammed into 5), but with Peter David co-writing a novel I’m actually pretty pumped for it.

    Are you going to listen to all the albums now PAD? I highly recomend the title track “In Keeping the Secrets of Silent Earth: 3” off the same album. Other great songs they have are: “Three Evils”, “Blood Red Summer” (which has a great music video featuring a lot of zombies), “Devil in Jersey City” “The Camper Velourium III: Al the Killer”, “The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut”, “The Running Free”, “No World for Tomorrow”, and “Feathers”, and the guitar-hero/9 movie ad tune “Welcome Home” (you can just tell from the titles that there’s definitely a narrative going on in each song) And, if you’re going to listen to just one album, my favourite is their second album, “Silent Earth”

    I always know there’s a story running through all the Coheed and Cambria albums, but I can never quite follow it, but seeing the story written as prose should be great.

    Wow, best news of the day. Me likey.

  2. Love Coheed and Cambria!
    Love Peter David!
    Just peeed pants with excitement!
    Not really loving that.
    Can’t wait until April.
    Will try to control bladder til then.
