If you haven’t picked up Coheed and Cambria’s newest album “The Afterman: Ascension”, you really need to. I’m a total fanboy and sucker for sci-fi so there’s not a whole lot Coheed can’t do that I wont like. As unbiased as I can be, with the story they’ve created, translated to music, transposed to videos, and illustrated onto print… Coheed and Cambria is by far the most creative band out there right now. I can think of few other bands even coming close to comparing, taking all the things I’ve said above into consideration.
The Afterman is a more mellow feeling song, with some building drive in it towards the end. I can’t say that its the typical Coheed, but knowing that this song is pretty much what this album and the second part of it (released in February) revolve around, this is a song they felt was very important to introduce listeners to. If you want to hear something that is more “typical Coheed”, their first single from this album is a pretty good representation of them, Domino the Destitute.
Check out “The Afterman” below.
Enjoy!
