jhulud Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Band site: 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. Producing this record is: Atticus Ross http://www.ninwiki.com/Atticus_Ross And Joe Baressi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Barresi They have helped us evolve our sound to be more powerful and dynamic than ever and we think it’s definitely our best work to date. Some song titles are: “Here We are Juggernaut,” “The Broken,” “Pearl of the Stars,” and “Guns of Summer.” Co-writing the book with Claudio is Peter David http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I still like the first two albums. The other two blow though. Hopefully the chronological change in the story will be reflected stylistically in the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
