The line up for Download Festival 2023 just got a hell of a lot bigger! Some huge names have been added to the already impressive set of bands playing Donington this Summer. With so many great bands joining the fun, it’s difficult to know where to start. So we’ll start with some favourites of ours…
For fans of a certain period of 00’s emo and post-hardcore, a co-headline of Thrice and Coheed and Cambria felt like such a tantalising offer. Two of the most musically interesting and progressive bands from that era who have found real second winds in the late 2010s that is still carrying on now. Both with…
COHEED AND CAMBRIA are one of the most ambitious bands in rock music. Through their music, videos & comic books they have created a fully immersive world. Being a fan of Coheed requires a lot of attention. It’s important to note this, as they are about to drop their most accessible canonical record. The Color…
It’s Tuesday which means we have another new playlist for you lot! We’re opening things up with new music from Sheffield’s Malevolence who have been turning a lot of heads recently and are due to release their third album later this year. This will certainly be one to look out for! A number of tours…
Lucky number seven so they say. Now in its seventh year as Britain’s premiere summer home for all things mathcore, progressive, explorative, post-anything, whatever off kilter subsection of music you desire, ArcTanGent has not only lived up to the audience’s lofty expectations, but it’s fair to say shattered them into slack-jawed disbelief. Having hosted a…
It’s time for another update to our Spotify playlist! This week we’ve enlisted the help of longtime Rock Sins contributor Matt Hill to help us pick some metal gems and he’s done us (and all of you) proud with some choice older offerings (including Machine Head, Hypocrisy, Scorpions and Testament). He’s also picked out some…
Ahead of Coheed and Cambria‘s London show last month in support of their new album Vaxis Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures (read our review here), Philip Whitehead spoke to the band’s drummer Josh Eppard about the new album and the possibility of new Weerd Science in the near future. Here’s what he had to say. …
Coheed and Cambria aren’t messing around. Barely a week after they dropped their new album The Unheavenly Creatures (read our review here), they’ve already hit the road in support of the album. Last week they hit the Roundhouse in Camden with support from instrumental math rockers CHON. Opening proceedings were CHON [7]. Their jazzy brand…
When Coheed and Cambria released their 2015 effort The Color Before the Sun, listeners were left wondering if the band were finished with their Amory Wars storyline, which has been written by frontman Claudio Sanchez in comic book form throughout the band’s history (and the reason for the band’s name). The album was different for…
Coheed and Cambria have announced plans to tour the UK this October. The New York prog-metallers will accompany the release of their 15-song, 78-minute new album, ‘The Unheavenly Creatures’, due October 5 on Roadrunner Records, with shows in Cardiff, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham and London, where they’ll play the Roundhouse on October 16. The band will…
Words by Jamie Giberti & Ali Cooper. The Zippo Encore Stage is often the place at the Download Festival where “the metulz” are found. Download 2017 is no different, with an assortment of bands from Slayer to The Cavalera Brothers serving up everything from thrash to old school heavy f***ing metal. But it’s not just…
Much loved visitors on UK shores, US prog rockers Coheed & Cambria are returning to British shores for a very special show in the Summer. Having already confirmed an appearance at the 2017 Download Festival – their first time playing Donington in some years, Coheed have decided to treat fans to a very special show…
