Tour plans grow for Coheed and Cambria
New York rock quartet Coheed and Cambria has beefed up the itinerary for a fall tour behind its forthcoming album, "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star V - Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness."
The trek is now scheduled to launch Sept. 27 and wrap up with a mid-November two-night stand at Nokia Live in New York City. Details are included below
Scheduled for release on Sept. 20, "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star V" is Coheed and Cambria's first release for Columbia Records, and follows the group's gold-certified 2003 album, "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3." The album is steeped in the classic rock of the band members' youth, according to drummer Joshua Eppard.
"Playing that kind of stuff is very exciting for us," Eppard said in a statement. "We're really going back to our roots and giving a nod to people who inspired us to make music in the first place, whether it be Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Police or something else entirely."
To record "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star V" Coheed and Cambria--vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever, bassist Michael Todd and Eppard--returned to the same Woodstock, NY studios in February 2005 where they worked on both of the group's previous records. Producers Michael Birnbaum and Chris Bittner were once again at the helm.
The album is part of what will end up being a five-album saga based around a doomed married couple who are convinced that they must sacrifice their children to save the world from being infected by a virus that is embedded in their genes, according to a press release.
Sanchez is chronicling the tale in a series of comic books that he has created with artist Wes Abbott, as well as in a 116-page graphic novel with artist Christopher Shy that will tell the full story of "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star V."
