Boasting 15 songs over 78 minutes, THE UNHEAVENLY CREATURES marks Coheed and Cambria’s furious return to concept albums, the ‘First Act’ in a brand-new story arc set within the backdrop of The Amory Wars universe. The LP was heralded earlier this summer with the arrival of its title track, “Unheavenly Creatures,” joined by an official video, streaming at the band’s official website
HERE. Directed by P.R. Brown, “Unheavenly Creatures” takes us inside the story\’s opening chapters where we see two captured criminals (Creature and Colossus) being walked through a ship on their way towards judgement for committed against society, and perhaps, one another. The video premiered via an exclusive interview with Sanchez at
Marvel.com; Sanchez also joined Marvel’s weekly podcast, “
This Week In Marvel,” for an extended discussion of THE UNHEAVENLY CREATURES and much more, streaming
HERE.
Coheed and Cambria made their long-awaited return this spring with the arrival of “
The Dark Sentencer,” the first new music to be released by the band since their acclaimed 2015 LP, The Color Before The Sun. Leaked to fans by Sanchez along with the opening paragraphs from the album’s aforementioned novella, the 10-minute prog manifesto made global impact with Revolver declaring, “The soaring song with its rolling guitar riff could soundtrack the montage to any intergalactic underdog story.”
