Coheed and Cambria has confirmed April 13 as the release date of Year of the Black Rainbow, its heavily anticipated fifth studio album. The eagerly awaited prequel to “The Amory Wars” tetralogy, Year of the Black Rainbow will be released by Columbia in both a standard format and a deluxe edition including a 352-page Year of the Black Rainbow novel, penned by the band’s Claudio Sanchez and New York Times Bestselling author Peter David.
Presale orders for the deluxe edition of Year of the Black Rainbow can be placed beginning this week at http://www.coheedandcambria.com. In addition to the CD and novel, the deluxe edition will include a “Making of” DVD featuring studio and interview footage as well as a Coheed and Cambria “Black Card,” which will allow fans early entrance to shows, discounts on band merchandise and exclusive downloads and offers. Sneak peeks at the new album’s artwork and other exclusive visuals can be seen at http://www.coheedandcambria.com.
Year of the Black Rainbow provides the long awaited prequel to the band’s four previous inter-related concept albums — The Second Stage Turbine Blade (2002); In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 (2003); Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness (2005) and Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow (2007) - which comprise “The Amory Wars,” the conceptual narrative driving the band’s lyrics, penned by Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez. Year Of The Black Rainbow is also likely to be the final installment of the narrative of “The Amory Wars.”
Year of the Black Rainbow is produced by Atticus Ross (Nine Inch Nails, Jane’s Addiction) and Joe Baressi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool). According to the Sanchez, “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.” The new record also features the studio debut of Coheed and Cambria drummer Chris Pennie, who has been playing alongside Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever and bassist Michael Robert Todd since 2007 and was featured on Neverender: Children of the Fence Edition, the CD/DVD box set documentation of the fall/winter 2008 four-night stands during which the band played its catalogue in its entirety, one album per night, in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and London.
Year Of The Black Rainbow’s release will be preceded by a series of eight intimate club gigs on the northeastern U.S., four of which are already sold out. Earl Greyhound supports on the dates, which are as follows.

Im so Fucking pumped for this. and Im glad my news article got accepted.
|
| |
all smiles
|
| |
Why won't the link to the site work? it's the same one the band posted on their facebook
|
| |
awes
|
| |
I wonder if any of these songs will top their older stuff. It seems impossible but Coheed always seems to do it...
|
| |
For such a questionable album title, the track names sound pretty good I think... it's a shame there are no Maiden track names though.
And I'm very excited for that book too.
|
| |
Cool news but really Black Rainbow?
|
| |
I came five million times. It hurt so good
|
| |
Color me excited.
|
| |
April is shaping up to be a good month. New records from The Classic Crime and Secret and Whisper on the 6th, this on the 13th, and Minus the Bear in there somewhere too.
|
| |
im just excited to hear chris pennie doing drums. i hope he doesn't do some minimlistic shit with coheed.
|
| |
Siiick... will be amazing. Also I'm really hoping at least one of the songs on this is as heavy as Welcome Home. Either way I'm sure it will be awesome as usual (but not as awesome as Claudio's hair).
|
| |
I just puked everywhere from excitement!
|
| |
^ No way did NWFT suck.
|
| |
YES!!!
|
| |
saw this a few hours ago
better rule
|
| |
Will not rule... the title isn't long enough.
|
| |
Did everyone see the clip on the coheed site, that one and half minute piece was amazing, and the tease of the song at the end sounds like the epic for the album (in the same way Welcome Home, In Keeping Secrets, No World and Everything Evil were).
Could not be more excited 
|
| |
NWFT was meh... but Coheed better make up for this...
*masturbates to Claudio's voice*
|
| |

They should have called it Year of The Black Rainbow XIV: In The Haunt Of Poseidon My Lover's Heart Was A Calculated Eclipse On The Eyes Of Evermore, Chapter 7: My Fluctuations Mark The Boundaries Of Conception 2: Electric Boogaloo
Oh wait, I'm thinking of The Mars Volta, nevermind.

Just watched it- it was awesome. And yeah I agree that little snippet at the end did sound pretty nifty. Also, did anyone notice the countdown timer in the top right of the site? What is that for? Pre-orders I'm guessing?
|
| |
lol
|
| |
The sound of the first two but with the musicianship of their last two AND Pennie would be ideal.
|
| |
"I wonder if any of these songs will top their older stuff. It seems impossible but Coheed always seems to do it..."
Except that they have never done it. IMO SSTB > IKSSE > GAIBS 1 > GAIBS 2. Although the first 3 are really close, vol 2 was lame. ninjuice and bringonthebreakdown said it though. Pennie better tear some shit up.
|
| |
awesome. leak soon
cool how that little vid on their site has like 2 seconds of a new song...
|
| |
Great news, I've been really into these guys lately.
|
| |
video is LAME btw....
|
| |
only got one C&C album, wouldn't mind getting into them a little bit more
|
| |
very excited for this. 352-page novel FTW!
|
| |
Best news in a while
|
| |
Deluxe edition title
"Year of the Black Rainbow, Act One: From A Still Born Fetus Brought On By Our Endless Trauma 1.5"
|
| |
Album of the year right here. greatest band ever too imo
|
| |
TL;DR but yay new Coheed hopefully better than NWFT. Pennie better unleash the madness or I'll be annoyed
|
| |
I lost interest in Coheed after their second album, but I will have to check this out based on it being a prequel.
|
| |
Good Apollo I was awesome, listen to that it's probably their best tied/after Second Stage
|
| |
The music is good, but their singer makes James LaBrie sound like a man.
|
| |
cant wait, one of my favorite bands
|
| |
"Except that they have never done it. IMO SSTB > IKSSE > GAIBS 1 > GAIBS 2. Although the first 3 are really close, vol 2 was lame."
Its all opinion. Personally i go IKSSE>GA2>SSTB>GA1. Shoot me but i like Volume 2 more then SSTB.
Handsdown, IKSSE is their best. ;)
|
| |
Definitely going to check this out.
|
| |
Good Apollo one is best
|
| |
Good god I can't wait for this.
|
| |
this is about to be epic
|
| |
God i can't wait for this. In the Flame of Error just looks like it should be epic.
|
| |
i just popped like 20 boners at that video. and like 18 of them came buckets.
oh god i can't wait
|
| |
well congratulations on having multiple genitalia
|
| |
This could be good
|
| |
year of the black rainbow
ahahah such a coheed title
|
| |
Year of the Black Rainbow: or how Coheed get their shit together and release an album so good it leads to global nuclear disarmament in celebration of its glory
|
| |
Album of the Year.
|
| |
Should I take this news as impetus to start checking out Coheed?
|
| |
If you haven't already checked them out than you should probably cut yourself on the penis.
|
| |
trm wtf go download second stage turbine blade and then cut yourself on the penis. shame on you.
|
| |
reading the comments on this thread reminded me why i love music so much as, you know, a thing
|
| |
I tried No world for Tomorrow about half a year ago and gave them up for dead. After joining Sputnik I decided to give them another try sooner or later, I'll check them out tomorrow. (I have In Keeping Secrets on my zune but have yet to listen to it)
|
| |
Good Apollo I is what turned me from casual fan to fanatic...for what its worth
|
| |
SSTB = GAI > IKSoSE:3 > GA2.
I cannot fucking wait.
|
| |
NWFT is definitely not the place to start. Vol 1 or IKSSE are probably the best starting points, depending on what kind of music you listen to.
|
| |
Hope the sound is like Second Stage Turbine Blade since you know its a prequel to that album
|
| |
I cant friggen wait so pumped now.
|
| |
Jesus. Five consecutive concept albums weren't enough to tell a story? A 352-page novel as well? Most 352-page novels don't tell a good enough story to command 352 pages. Dream Theater could take lessons on wanking.
I dig Coheed for the most part, but Chris Pennie better enjoy making ducats while Option Paralysis whips his album like a bitch.

How is writing an accompanying novel comparable to 14 minutes of mindless shredding during a song? Learn 2 Musik.

How are those bands even remotely similar?
|
| |
perfect
|
| |
Will be good, but will sound nothing like sstb
|
| |

Pennie used to play for Dillinger...
also NWFT was excellent, I don't know why you guys are hating.
|
| |
NWFT is dogshit compared to every other album they have done.
|
| |
at a bare minimum 8 of the 13 songs off of it are really good, so i find that hard to agree with
|
| |
at maximum 5 songs on that record deserve to stand alongside any songs off their previous records, so it isn't THAT hard to agree with.
|
| |
wait, are we talking about NWFT or IKSSE?
|
| |
Pennie used to play for Dillinger...
Oh shit really? Why didn't anybody tell me?????!!!
This makes the two bands comparable how?
|
| |
hah hilarious. I love it when lame bands get all conceptual.
|
| |
"hah hilarious. I love it when lame bands get all conceptual."
What's even more hilarious is that you didn't realize said "lame" band has been conceptual since their first album.
I want some art work. Im curious to see if it will be simple or something like NWFT
|
| |
O.o
|
| |
I get more and more excited about this album every day! If Claudio does not live up to my expectations IM CHANGING MY PROFILE PICTURE IN PROTEST...ok nevermind.
|
| |
i came.
|
| |
Pre-order sounds awesome.
|
| |
going to the Syracuse show bitches.
|
| |
i'm interested.
