Columbia Records announced that innovative rock band Coheed and Cambria have elected to hit the road for a spring co-headlining jaunt across North America with Avenged Sevenfold. The band will be using their full live production and lights during their shows, which are now legendary for their progressive dynamics, and high-energy post-punk drama.
The stage props and projections used during the shows will include images borrowed from singer Claudio Sanchez’s 124-page graphic novel that reveals the story behind their current, internationally successful third record, “Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness.” The album was released late last year to glowing reviews, widespread radio airplay and strong sales. The NY Times proclaimed that “no other band is better at turning hard rock into something so wild and sweet,” while Blender gave the record four out of five stars and said that Coheed and Cambria are “an ambitious band that get to balance their charismatic music with a biblically epic take encompassing all human experience.” Alternative Press put the band on their cover and rewarded the record five out five stars, while Rolling Stone hailed: “Good Apollo” is “so over the top, it’s damn near awe-inspiring.” Guitar World said that with the new record, “Coheed and Cambria take prog-rock to the outer limits.”
