Coheed and Cambria at The Stage AE

Progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria have always maintained their unique brand that contained elements of classic rock, heavy metal, alternative, post-hardcore, and emo. The band also often inserts some arpeggios into their mix. Active since the late ‘90s, the band has released ten studio albums, four of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The release of Coheed and Cambria’s 10th studio album, Vaxis – Act II: A Window of Waking Mind, is much-anticipated due to an almost four-year gap since the release of its predecessor. Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures was released in 2018. Both albums continue the Armoy Wars concept – an ongoing graphic novel series released by Coheed and Cambria’s singer and guitarist, Claudio Sanchez. The new album's premise follows “a couple on the run from tyrannical forces and their mysterious new addition.”

During an interview with Consequence, Sanchez shared that they took their time to record the new album because they didn’t want to rush their creative process. “A lot of times, with bands who’ve been around and built a strong fanbase like we have, I think there might be a tendency, intentionally or unintentionally, to try to give the fans what they want and not take too many risks.”
