COHEED AND CAMBRIA: ‘Number City’ Video Released


“Number City”, the new video from COHEED AND CAMBRIA, can be seen below. COHEED AND CAMBRIA’s latest album, “The Afterman” was released in two separate full-length volumes. The first volume, “The Afterman: Ascension”, was made available on both physical and digital platforms in the U.S. on October 9, 2012 via Hundred Handed/Everything Evil, and distributed through Fontana/Ingrooves (available in Canada via Universal Music Canada). The second volume, “The Afterman: Descension”, came out on February 6.
A deluxe version of “The Afterman” includes a hardcover coffee-table book with expansive art by Heidi Taillefer and Nathan Spoor with collaborative written work from singer/creator Claudio Sanchez and writer Peter David that creates a song-by-song experience. The two records follow-up to 2010’s “Year Of The Black Rainbow”, and feature new bassist Zach Cooper and returning drummer Josh Eppard, who have replaced Michael Todd and Chris Pennie, respectively.

COHEED AND CAMBRIA frontman Claudio Sanchez said of the album: “This is, without a doubt, the most honest record I’ve ever  written. Though all the songs can be interpreted through our main  character in the story, they were initially written in a very  spontaneous manner. In the past, I’ve always had a predetermined idea of what the story was going to be when I approached the songs. With ‘The Afterman’ being a new story within ‘The Amory Wars’ arc, I allowed the events of my life to drive the concept, and therefore opened up the songwriting to a fuller degree.”
