Coheed and Cambria

3 upcoming festivals

Sci-fi concept-rock saga with arena hooks — 'Welcome Home' indeed, the Amory Wars mythology powering some of modern prog's biggest singalongs.

Coheed and Cambria came together in Nyack, New York, around singer and guitarist Claudio Sanchez, whose high, distinctive voice is the band's most recognisable feature. Most of their albums form part of the Amory Wars, a science-fiction narrative Sanchez has also developed through comics and prose, and the songs draw on progressive rock structures, post-hardcore energy and straightforward pop melody in roughly equal measure. "Welcome Home," from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One, remains their best-known song. Bassist Travis Stever has played guitar alongside Sanchez since the beginning, and the group has continued releasing concept records across two decades.
