Claudio Sanchez, Travis Stever, Josh Eppard, and Zach Cooper are Coheed And Cambria, and Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Vol.1 - From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness is the Nyack, New York band's third studio album. Also their most successful, the 2005 LP is once again a concept project, continuing the group's mode of taking inspiration from The Armory Wars, a science fiction graphic novel series written by Sanchez. Prog rock, metal, and post-hardcore… Expect original, charged guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and shifting moods in addition to catchy melodies and powerful hooks. Tracks to check out: "Welcome Home," "Ten speed (Of God's Blood & Burial)," "Wake Up," "The Suffering," and "Mother May I."
