Finding Solace In Madness With CLAUDIO SANCHEZ From COHEED & CAMBRIA

Finding Solace In Madness With CLAUDIO SANCHEZ From COHEED & CAMBRIA

Author: HEAVY Magazine August 30, 2024 Duration: 18:48
Coheed & Cambria are possibly one of the most important bands to emerge in this generation.
Essentially a progressive metal outfit, Coheed & Cambria are also a fully immersive sonic beacon of hope in a world that is too often void of such feelings.
While musically the New York based prog rock icons sing about lands and situations that are bathed in darkness, it is their approach to music and life in general that has seen Coheed & Cambria intertwine themselves into the ears and lives of anyone close enough to be touched by their energy.
Over the course of ten albums since the turn of the century, Coheed & Cambria have brought new light to an increasingly stale genre, and, more importantly, done so of their own volition.
Now, after an eight-year absence, Coheed & Cambria are readying to make their way back to Australia as part of the massive Monolith Festival, starting in Brisbane on November 2. Monolith features a truly international assortment of bands from differing backgrounds, with fellow American outfit Periphery joining Norwegian prog rockers Leprous, Canadian instrumentalists Intervals, French metalcore dynamos Novelists and Melbourne music machine Silver Fang rounding out the bill.
As a special treat, Coheed & Cambria will be playing their third album Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through Madness in full to celebrate last year's 25th anniversary of their most successful release to date. Frontman Claudio Sanchez will also be hosting a special question and answer panel called Celebrating 20 Years Of The Amory Wars: The Past, Present And Future where he will be discussing the band's long-running series of comics and graphic novels.
HEAVY caught up Sanchez earlier today, fresh off stage from a show with Incubus.
