Finding Solace In Madness With CLAUDIO SANCHEZ From COHEED & CAMBRIA

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.
