Welcome Home Josh

It is amazing how much a drummer can influence a band's style, and Josh Eppard is no exceptions. His role in Coheed and Cambria's first albums is very apparent and helped give the edge the band was previously known for.

I am not saying that Claudio's screeching vocals don't help push the band along, but there is definitely more soul in Josh's performance than Chris Pennie's. Don't get me wrong Chris is an amazing drummer and any band would be lucky to have him, but I feel like I was listening to a metronome instead of an instrument.

So here is Coheed and Cambria's newest track "Domino the Destitute." Welcome home Josh, you were missed.

Un Mas Por Favor

Here is another track that I finished at about 4:00 AM. Let me know what you think.

I swear it seems like I went forever without making anything and in the past couple of weeks I just can't stop. I don't even care if it is terrible. All that I care about is how much fun I am having.

In The Time Of "The Afterman"...The Story Continues

So, I have been a fan of Coheed and Cambria since "The Second Stage Turbine Blade" came out when I was in high school. Needless to say I am extremely excited for their upcoming double album. However, I still hope that it is more inline with "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3." I don't say this out of annoying, hipstery "I found them first" logic, rather I prefer the mixes of the original two albums.

Listen to all of the albums back to back and tell me there is not a progression of heavy handed executive decision making behind the later installments. Don't get me wrong, I love all of their work, but there was just an urgency in the first two albums that I feel was lacking from the latest.

Even though I have these feelings, I am so excited for the upcoming double album. Below is the announcement video. As well as a link to their website.
