03-10-2024
COHEED AND CAMBRIA has released a new song, “Blind Side Sonny”, the first taste of the band’s next full body of work. Following 2022’s “Vaxis Act II: A Window Of The Waking Mind”, which garnered the band’s first Top 10 radio single of their career with “Shoulders”, “Blind Side Sonny” unveils a brand new villain featured as part of the band’s “The Amory Wars”/“Vaxis” universe. Alongside the new single, COHEED AND CAMBRIA shares the Max Moore-directed video that features the band performing, while the insidious Sonny slowly seeps into the crowd.

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.”

In the summer of 2022, COHEED AND CAMBRIA released their last album and the latest chapter of “The Amory Wars” saga with “Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind”. The 13-song collection landed at No. 1 on Billboard‘s “Top Hard Rock Albums” chart marking the band’s fourth No. 1 on the tally.
Produced by the band’s own Claudio Sanchez and Zakk Cervini, “Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind” features the singles “A Dissapearing Act”, “Comatose”, “Rise, Naianasha (Cut The Cord)”, “The Liars Club” and “Shoulders”, which broke into the Top 10 on the Active Rock radio charts.
For the last 20-plus years, COHEED AND CAMBRIA have continuously broken the mold of what a rock band can be, forging their own path and building a universe around their music unlike any other. Whether it is in the way their genre-spanning approach to songwriting has allowed them to bridge worlds without being contained to one, or the multifaceted story arc of their albums and comic book series which mark the longest running concept story in music, COHEED AND CAMBRIA have consistently shaped new standards, never conformed. Comprised of Claudio Sanchez (vocals / guitar), Travis Stever (guitar), Josh Eppard (drums) and Zach Cooper (bass) the band has gripped listeners and press around the globe with their visionary compositions and conceptual mastery.
