Coheed and Cambria have just posted the eight-plus-minute video for a new track, “Domino The Destitute.” Watch it below.
“Domino The Destitute” is taken from the band’s upcoming new studio album, The Afterman: Ascension. The follow-up to 2010′s Year Of The Black Rainbow (buy on iTunes) will be released October 9, and will be followed by a second part, The Afterman: Descension in February of 2013.
“This is, without a doubt, the most honest record I’ve ever written,” said frontman Claudio Sanchez. “Though all the songs can be interpreted through our main character in the story, they were initially written in a very spontaneous manner. In the past, I’ve always had a predetermined idea of what the story was going to be when I approached the songs. With The Afterman being a new story within ‘The Amory Wars’ arc, I allowed the events of my life to drive the concept, and therefore opened up the songwriting to a fuller degree.”

“This is, without a doubt, the most honest record I’ve ever written,” said frontman Claudio Sanchez. “Though all the songs can be interpreted through our main character in the story, they were initially written in a very spontaneous manner.

Coheed and Cambria’s last full-length effort was 2010′s Year Of The Black Rainbow (buy on iTunes).

Yesterday we reported here that Tool had announced, via their website newsletter, that they entered the studio to commence recording their new album over Thanksgiving. The band has since updated the recent newsletter to calrify that the recordings sessions over the holiday were in fact for Tool drummer Danny Carey’s side project VOLTO! (Carey is pictured second from left) and not Tool. The newsletter does add that the group is still making progress writing and arranging songs for a new Tool album, the follow-up to 2006′s 10,000 Days.
