Coheed And Cambria Dropped Their Concept Shield With New Album

(TeamRock Radio) Coheed And Cambria drummer Josh Eppard says that the band's previous reliance on a concept for their albums was down to Sanchez's need for a "shield" to hide behind.

They released The Color Before The Sun in October. Eppard tells Pop Matters: "I think it's public knowledge amongst Coheed fans that the concepts kind of served as a shield for him at times. They were fantastic and cool, but they were shields, too. I could always pick out deeply personal things in his songs, even in the most sci-fi songs.

"With this record, he wrote songs about his life and his first child, so he chose to not channel those things into a fictional concept. For us, it didn't change anything. When we're making a record, that's the sole focus. The music.

"Sometimes the concepts don't come into play so much for the rest of us, but I'm sure the lyrics are a huge part for Claudio." Read more here.
