COHEED AND CAMBRIA has revealed the cover and track listing for its forthcoming album, "The Color Before The Sun", due 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 pre-order as of today 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. Purchasers also receive an instant download of "You Got Spirit, Kid", a membership card, a custom house key, a lapel pin, a certificate of authenticity; as well as exclusive, members-only access to new music, videos, concert tickets, merchandise and commentary from the band.
