Coheed and Cambria’s New Single “The Broken”
Coheed and Cambria is an American rock band from New York, formed in 1995. The band was originally named "Shabütie"; however, the name was changed to "Coheed and Cambria" when drummer Nate Kelley departed. The band incorporates aspects of progressive rock, punk rock, heavy metal and post-hardcore.
Coheed and Cambria's albums are concept albums that reveal a science fiction storyline called The Amory Wars, a series of comics written by lead singer Claudio Sanchez. The band has released four studio albums, two live albums, and several special-edition releases, with their latest release being Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow in 2007. In 2008, the band held a four-day concert series, Neverender, during which they played their studio albums in succession. Their fifth studio album, Year of the Black Rainbow, which will be a prequel to the series, has a release date of April 13, 2010.
First single off of Coheed's new album "Year of the Black Rainbow" just popped up. It's called "The Broken," and seems to fit a bit of the style they carved out with some of the last songs off of both parts of Volume 4. It also gives me a lot of Prize Fighter Inferno vibe with some of the vocals.
Coheed and Cambria toured through most of early 2009. Between January and March, they toured with Slipknot and Trivium on the Slipknot-headlined All Hope Is Gone tour. In August 2009, Coheed and Cambria toured in support of Heaven & Hell on their "Heaven & Hell" tour. On September 16, 2009, they performed at the Puyallup Fair alongside Brand New and Jaguar Love. In October they performed at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas. They also performed at the Wacken Open Air festival, at the UK leg of the Sonisphere Festival tour, and at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.
Coheed and Cambria has recently finished their fifth studio album Year of the Black Rainbow, with a confirmed release date of April 13th, 2010[45]. It will be a prequel to the series. A novel will be released to accompany the album co-written by Sanchez and Peter David.
