They're seriously, the best, most original, talented band in the world. Coheed and Cambria is often called emo, but when you actually READ their lyrics (besides The fucking Suffering and A Favor House Atlantic), they're a concept band with this complicated at times but thrilling story of Coheed & Cambria, two IRO-Bots created along with Jesse - one put on each corner of the Keywork (order of the planets with large power transformers) to watch the mages because the humans teaming up with the prise was a useless alliance. The story has heavy sci-fi influences and involves alot of heartbreak and dying. Alot of people tend to take cheap shots at Claudio Sanchez's majestic and beautiful voice (but, I'd like to see the people making those shots sing that high) because Coheed is incredibly successful and probably one of the most positively (and sometimes negatively.. haterrrs) discussed bands in music today.

Often mislabeled as an "emo" band, Coheed and Cambria is actually a Progressive Rock band, with a sound similar to bands like Rush and Yes of the 1980s, with concept albums similar to Pink Floyd's The Wall. The idea of the giant story spanning all of their music, ie: the concept albums, is perhaps the most alluring aspect of their music.

Synopsis of the Coheed and Cambria storyline:

"There are differing theories about the story of Coheed and Cambria, but from the lyrics of the two albums and the beginning of the story spelled out in graphic novel #1, it is known that Coheed and Cambria Killgannon are a married couple living on Earth in the distant future.

The story is centered around a vast structure called the Keywork, a galactic force holding together 78 planetary systems. For some reason, part of the Keywork comes loose, threatening a cataclysmic disaster for the universe. Coheed and Cambria are "Guardians of the Keywork" and Coheed is sent to a distant planet to repair the damage. Apparently, Coheed is the only person capable of doing this.

Unfortunately, someone has injected a serum, called the 'Monstar virus,' into Coheed's body. Once activated, the Monstar leads to a disaster of apocolyptic proportions for mankind. However, the Monstar can only be activated by introducing a liquid called 'the ciache' into the host's bloodstream, and then making eye contact with the trigger counterpart (presumably, Cambria). Coheed has passed a form of the virus, known a...

Kickass melodic rock band led by pleasingly high-pitched male vocalist Claudio Sanchez. Underground hits include Delerium Trigger, 33, and Everything Evil. A breakoff of the band 'Shabutie'.

Gives you goosebumps everytime you hear it

I hate it when people call Co&CA an emo band because they're not. You dont hear them singing about breaking up or how much they hate their parents do you? Their true musical genre is (deny if you want but it wont change the truth) Alternative metal,Indie pop/rock. So before you start talking shit about Coheed and Cambria, think to yourself- a million other people out there are dissing (badly) your favorite band as well.

incredible, incredible band. their sound cannot be matched.

One of the best bands ever! The lead singer has an incredibly high vocal range, which makes them unique.

In reality this is a kick ass band with great musical talent and an equally great talent for writing. In a fictional world, Coheed and Cambria are husband and wife in a science fiction story written by the singer of the band Claudio Sanchez. The story revolves around Coheed transforming into the Monstar after being injected with a serum by a dragonfly, and the fate of the universe rests in his hands. Claudio wrote himself into the story as the last remaining child of 4, the other 3 were murdered by their parents Coheed and Cambria. Claudio is now The Crowing or a messiah like character. If you are still interested, the graphic novels written by Claudio tell the entire story.
