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 music video directed by P.R. Brown. “Unheavenly Creatures” takes viewers inside the story’s opening chapters where two captured criminals (Creature and Colossus) are being walked through a ship on their way towards judgment for crimes 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.
“Unheavenly Creatures” was greeted by instant critical applause, with Rolling Stone declaring the track “finds the band in power-pop mode. (‘Unheavenly Creatures’) opens with plinky sequenced synths worthy of a retro video game and builds through distorted riffs to a massive sing-along chorus. ‘I fear, my dear, the end is here,’ Sanchez sings. ‘So run, run, run, run like a son of a gun.’”
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 a massive global impact with Revolver declaring, “The soaring song with its rolling guitar riff could soundtrack the montage to any intergalactic underdog story,” while Consequence of Sound hailed “The Dark Sentencer,” adding, “Gang vocals and ephemeral harmonies underscore the band’s trademark shredding.”
Comprised of Claudio Sanchez (Vocals/Guitar), Travis Stever (Guitar), Josh Eppard (Drums) and Zach Cooper (Bass), Coheed and Cambria has gripped listeners and press around the globe with their visionary compositions and conceptual mastery.
