Coheed and Cambria’s forthcoming album, The Color Before The Sun, marks a major first for the Nyack-based outfit, their first non-conceptual album, one that has no tie to the ongoing world of the Amory Wars.
Claudio Sanchez said, “That’s always sort of been the reason for the concept, was that it was a curtain to hide behind. I always found it very hard to be that heart-on-your-sleeve songwriter. Maybe it’s the fear of judgment or whatever. I felt like if I could just hide behind these fictitious characters, then nobody will judge me. They’ll judge the work, but it won’t stain me. It’s almost like trying to distance myself from the art, whereas this time I’ve sort of embraced it and allowed it to be me.”
