An
amazing progressive rock band that is often mislabeled as 'emo'. Current band members include: Claudio Sanchez (Jesus Christ Himself), Travis Stever, Michael Todd, and Chris Pennie. Coheed and Cambria have a sound that is similar to Yes, Rush, and
Pink Floyd. Contrary to some popular belief, the band does not suck and are very talented musicians and perhaps may be one of the most original bands to ever be. The band has a concept behind their albums similar to that of
Pink Floyd's The
Wall. Their discography in chronological order is as follows: (1.) The Second Stage Turbine Blade; (2.) In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3; (3.) Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness; (
4.) Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow; (5.) Year of the Black Rainbow. The band has released several
DVD's including: Live at the Starland Ballroom, The Last Supper: Live at Hammerstein Ballroom, Neverender: Children of the Fence Edition (CD/DVD box
set combo including
4 live DVD's,
4 live CD's, and a documentary), The Fiction Will See the Real: Documentary (released in the aforementioned Neverender box
set), and Every End Has a Beginning: The Making of 'Year of the Black Rainbow' (released with box
set of YOBR). With the release of Year of the Black Rainbow, Sanchez also coauthored his first novel entitled Year of the Black Rainbow. The
book is the precursor to the Amory Wars comic series of which Sanchez is the author.
