27-11-2024
COHEED AND CAMBRIA announces their forthcoming album ‘The Father of Make Believe’ due March 14th, 2025 via Virgin Music Group. The new full-length marks the 10th studio album from the New York band and continues the narrative of ‘The Amory Wars’ / ‘Vaxis’ universe, following their 2022 album ‘Vaxis Act II: A Window Of The Waking Mind’. In celebration of the announcement, the band now releases the new single and an Anthony Scheppard-directed and animated video for ‘Searching For Tomorrow’.
Watch ‘Searching For Tomorrow’ below.
‘The Father of Make Believe’ will also include the recently-released single “Blind Side Sonny,” arguably Coheed and
Cambria’s most aggressive track to date that was complemented by a Max Moore-directed video that unveiled a new villain in The Amory Wars realm.
Speaking about “Searching for Tomorrow” and The Father of Make Believe, bandleader, vocalist and lead guitarist Caludio Sanchez shares, "This song is a reminder that always looking for something better in your life robs you of being able to appreciate the good things you already have.
With every album I try to ‘outdo’ the one before, or at least make something that sounds different and evolved in some way. I think that initial struggle added to the feeling of having a kind of musical midlife crisis…this constant internal battle of searching for creative release and growth…the being unsure if it’s the right path. This one took more effort in the beginning, but in the end I think the digging was worth it for the subsequent surge.”
Watch the previously released “Blind Side Sonny” below.
Speaking about the new single, vocalist Claudio Sanchez shares, “‘Blind Side Sonny’ is a song about revenge. What may seem like an innocent choice to someone could be the breeding ground of another’s malicious misunderstanding. Perception can be your worst enemy.”
Additionally, the Vaxis Act III: The Father of Make Believe limited edition box set is available for pre-order today and features a CD and digital download along with various exclusives, including Blind Side Sonny's fully wearable and functional helmet and neuro-dynamic display goggles, Vaxis Act III: The Father of Make Believe hardcover illustrated novella coffee table book, neuro-dynamic display goggles app for display customization, 11.5” x 35” Vaxis III: The Father of Make Believe bedroom poster and a signed Death Certificate of Siv Trafinder.
