On October 23rd, Coheed and Cambria will release its new album, "NO WORLD FOR TOMORROW." The album is dedicated to the memory of Antonia Cristiano, vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez' aunt, whose life was claimed last year by Alzheimer's. Cristiano -- a psychologist who counseled the group early in their career and literally kept Coheed and Cambria from breaking up in 2002 -- was the inspiration for "Justice in Murder," a key song on the new record.
About the benefit, Sanchez said: ""This benefit is sort of my way of saying goodbye. My Aunt Toni lived in Manhattan and loved Manhattan. This disease ravaged her and our family. It's hard for me to talk about, but if we can help fight this disease and encourage others to help fight it, then her loss wasn't totally in vain."
"It's so encouraging to know that a generation of young people are getting involved in the fight against Alzheimer's," said Lou-Ellen Barkan, President and CEO of the Alzheimer's Association, New York City Chapter. "By the year 2050 when Coheed and Cambria fans are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, one in five New Yorkers will either have the disease or will be caring for someone who does. Our sincere thanks go out to Coheed and Cambria for generously sharing their talent, and supporting programs and services provided by the Alzheimer's Association New York City Chapter."
