COHEED AND CAMBRIA: 'Island' Video Released

October 22, 2015

The official video for the song "Island" from COHEED AND CAMBRIA can be seen below. The track is taken from the band's new album, "The Color Before The Sun", which was released on October 9 via 300 Entertainment.

The cover, which features a serene lake with a house disintegrating into the sky, was created by Nick Steinhardt (TOUCHE AMORE, DEAFHEAVEN) and reflects the story behind the ten-song album.

While the most conceptually abstruse COHEED records have always had a foundation in reality, "The Color Before The Sun" marks the first time Sanchez is exposing his raw feelings, narrated from his own perspective — the anxiety of fatherhood, the disorienting feeling of losing a home, the reflections had during early-morning walks. His own story is told through big, bright, driving, colorful songs that beam like power-pop, crunch like vintage '90s emocore and float with the expansive feel of space-rock.

Sanchez's journey is captured not only in the music, but also in a new limited-edition deluxe box set available for at CoheedAndCambria.com The extensive collection offers fans two hardcover books; one featuring album lyrics and expansive artwork from "The Color Before The Sun", while a separate book documents the events and emotions of the time with prose and photographs. Four different pieces of music are housed in the die-cut slipcase: "The Color Before The Sun" (CD),"The Color Before The Sun" demos (CD),an in-studio DVD and a clear 7-inch vinyl with two non-album demo tracks.

"The Color Before The Sun" is the outfit's eighth studio album and their first non-conceptual release, with the previous offerings forming the larger story of "The Amory Wars", a science-fiction saga depicting the story of COHEED AND CAMBRIA Kilgannon. "The Color Before The Sun" was recorded at St. Charles Studio in Nashville, and produced by Jay Joyce (CAGE THE ELEPHANT, ERIC CHURCH, HALESTORM).

The New York-based band's album arrives via the recently formed label, 300 Entertainment who pride themselves on being an independent, creative driven record label that focuses on intense artist development.
