I'm almost 39 and I was lucky enough to delve into them when their very first single came out on the radio around 2003 (Favor House Atlantic). It wasn't really my cup of tea at the time, myself getting into the heavier sub-genres of metal, but something about how the lyrics seem to juxtapose the way he sung about the shit going on (running away from getting assassinated, but he sounded happy about it). So, I delved deeper into their second and first albums (the only ones out at the time), and their previous band Shabutie. Suffice to say, I am so glad I gave them a chance, because they are still my #1 personal favorite band after almost 20 years; they are so out of this world and inspiring, imo.
I’m 33 and have been listening to them since welcome home. Makes me so happy to see new people gettting into coheed and cambria. IMHO one of the best bands to come out of the 90s.
Claudio sure does! My favorite album is SSTB, though. "The Color Before The Sun" however I don't think is that great. Sure it has a few catchy songs, but I feel like it was their attempt to go "mainstream" and that's just not who C&C is. As long as he keeps Josh, Travis, and Zach they will always get better with time. They are all such amazing musicians and always put on one hell of a show.
so many people dont even know or like coheed so they are doing just fine by me. It's cool you enjoy the hidden gems but Coheed live has my full respect as they just jam and don't talk or build anything up. The songs you get are what you get and they're all awesome
Man I quit listening to coheed about 10 years ago. I was obsessed with them up until then and just kinda lost interest in this style of music for a while. Recently got back into them and they’re still fucking killing it. Such a good band.
This screams Pink Floyd. From the "Wall-esque" solo to the idea of selling out in the music industry, which was a popular theme in the Floyd's music. Can't believe I just discovered this song, especially being a Coheed fan for so long.
Years back a friend of mine said dude they are like a modern Pink Floyd.... Shabutie and Coheed Album 1 and Albums later i agree there was only one band like Pink Floyd and There is only One Band like Coheed and Cambia.. Ilove a lot of different types of music but this band is the best for me by far!
It never ceases to amaze me how Claudio combines UNREAL song writing, singing, and so many musical styles and it comes out damn near perfect every time.
Gravitys Union really took off for me once I realized what was going on in the song, story-wise. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the "cage, locked in perpetual motion" stuff is the wreck that Meri will be living through time-and-time again in the keywork, and that due to his deceptive explanation, only Sirus knows about. The ending is just wall-of-emotion in-yer-face. Slays me every time.
It is about Sirus returning to his planet and having his first public appearance after his experience with the Keywork. The Prise told him not to tell him that the Keywork is an afterlife. Sirus found a way to explain the Keywork without angering the Prise and getting the people to understand it.
Dude. Coheed didn't go soft. It's just part of their whole style. They don't stick to a specific style. They always add something new. And this is just amazing!
Having finally returned to his home world of Valencine, Sirius has a million things to think about. He’s learned a lot about the Keywork, but he’s conflicted about whether he should share it with the public, and how much he should share. Sirius talks it over with his mentor, who says that the discovery of an afterlife where admittance isn’t based on how one acts in life could cause panic and a "fundamental existential crisis". After that, he still feels conflicted about his discoveries. Then the Prise, guardians of the Keywork and those entrusted with its protection, show up at Sirius' door. They explain that what Sirius discovered was not meant to be known by man, but by them and "God" alone. They couldn’t do anything about the fact that he knew about their secret, but they said to him that if he disclosed his findings to the public, it would be considered an act of war. The day finally came when Sirius was supposed to share his findings with the public. Knowing that the Prise would make good in their threat, he lied to the public and substituted the truth with a very technical explanation of how the Keywork operates. The public is very satisfied with this explanation.
This song is so bad ass, I hadn't listen to Coheed in years until I happened back into being addicted to them again this year and discovering all their music they released since I was a die hard fan during Good Apollo 1 and 2 has been awesome
I rememeber clicking on this randomly. I'm really picky about music. But this was one of those (really) rare cases where after the just the first listen, I loved it. Still do
Coheed and Cambria holds a special place in my heart, the same way I return to certain Emo songs that normally at this point in my life I wouldn't be listening to.
Every album, every song - I love C&C. I can't wait for my grand kids to visit one day and ask "What IS that you are listening to?!" And of course I'll reply "You kids just don't know what good music is these days."
Anyone who owns ears and has ever used them to listen to a Pink Floyd song bro. This song has Pink Floyd/Dave Gilmour guitar all over it... yet it still sounds like C&C. Sign of a great song writer that. Love this song.
I'm almost 39 and I was lucky enough to discover C&C when their very first single came out on the radio around 2003ish (Favor House Atlantic). It wasn't really my cup of tea at the time, myself getting into the heavier sub-genres of metal, but something about how the lyrics seem to juxtapose the way he sung about the shit going on (running away from getting assassinated, but he sounded happy about it). So, I delved deeper into their second and first albums (the only ones out at the time), and their previous band Shabutie. Suffice to say, I am so glad I gave them a chance, because they are still my #1 personal favorite band after almost 20 years; they are so out of this world and inspiring, imo.
I don't know about that, but Descension is very good. I've heard 4 songs so far, all of them powerful and sound completely different from eachother. That is what makes a great Coheed album, songs with a wide variety of vibes and tone.
Ok first time admitting this but honestly c&c is basically the only music I listen too literally nothing but there discography and I've been like that for years they just the best .
It isnt a music being a compition thing, people just like to be the first do they can feel better than everyone. instead of listening to it and enjoying it with friends, welcome to the world we live in. Not even things we love can be enjoyed by all because someone has to be better than everyone else.
I couldn't even imagine all the different crap these guys have to put up with, all the different ppl wanting them to take their advice wanting them to change this and that. I'm sure they've bent a bit in some areas but I hope and truly believe they and especially Claudio will never let someone else dictate what he feels is best for coheed.
I love the pain in his voicw at the end "I stood by everything I loved." And after anger, it starts to sound like he's giving up and giving in like him standing by his convictions were pointless.
And by that, I meant they also had a hand in the creative process. This song is clearly about the band being true to themselves and not selling out to become popular like most bands strive to achieve. It's about the music, not the fame. And people are forgetting that.
I'd say the true power of Descension will really hit people when they listen to Ascension and Descension together. I know that's what I plan to do when it comes out.
Claudio and crew never ceases to amaze me with their lyrical genius and hearty musical smorgasbord... Kudos to you for all that you do, I appreciate you all 🤟💞
In the hard cover Claudio explains that its about what Coheed has always been about: making meaningful music. He says "The need for validation from those who don't like us was never a concern because making music for them wasn't the catalyst to do it in the first place. The music we create is simply a result of what we are at any given moment. I'd rather just keep doing what we do and understand that if it continues to resonate within our audience it just means we're doing something right"
The meaning of the song is in the title of the album. The Afterman is Amorys true self (Who he is without the influence of the world), which he discovered through the process of self-realization. Both albums r the story of his ascension. The Key entities are past lives that he has lived (Cause we know the keywork is powered by souls after death) which contains key characteristics of him that he doesnt include in his persona. In the keywork hes forced to confront these entitys and accept him as a
Yes... yes it is. In the accompanying book (which Claudio wrote himself) It was sparked by an argument he had with his manager, and not wanting to just "write a hit" to appease him. The first thing said about the Hard Sell, and I'm quoting from the book... "The Hard Sell echoes the sentiments of Sentry, in the sense of so many people pulling you in different directions in this industry.
Coheed has sooo much different styles that it's staggering. I could show a song to a person that likes chill music, a song to a person who prefers banging their head, a person that prefers old-school, and show a song from them to people that like new-school like me. I got two Amory Wars comics for christmas, awesomeness.
In my opinion this is one Coheeds best tracks off of any album. The groovy solo gets me every time. Josh’s drumming is impeccable and Claudios vocals are so powerful.
most importantly Coheed hasnt sold out to get fame like other bands! They stay true and do thier own thing no matter who likes it... so thanks coheed for keeping to your style!
One of little bands able to record something really good as new band. Great Powerfull band, as progressive rock. Only Congratulations. There' s light at the end of the tunnel, fortunately..

I am a 40 year old man who just checked this band out and I am blown away.
Same. Same.
I'm almost 39 and I was lucky enough to delve into them when their very first single came out on the radio around 2003 (Favor House Atlantic).

I'm 40 and am the biggest Coheed fan alive. Welcome
So much great content. I’m 38
A hard rock verse with a metalcorish chorus, Claudio's awesome voice, and a David Gilmour influenced solo. This song has too much cool for everyone.
I don't really hear the metalcore influence. Definitely hear the hard rock tho.
David .A The chorus is really breakdown-y, sounds metalcoreish. That's probably what he means.
Brandon Webb
ah
Chris Bourland
Wow. The phrasing of the solo really does remind one of Gilmour...
I has all the cool!
Afterman has been out for such a long time, and I keep coming back to it! Part 2 is epic!
I swear this band just keeps getting better.
Claudio sure does! My favorite album is SSTB, though. "The Color Before The Sun" however I don't think is that great. Sure it has a few catchy songs, but I feel like it was their attempt to go "mainstream" and that's just not who C&C is. As long as he keeps Josh, Travis, and Zach they will always get better with time. They are all such amazing musicians and always put on one hell of a show.
Okay, I can't say SSTB is my favorite. I have to include Good Apollo in that too. It's a toss up really!
As far as i know. I loved everything they made! Including the comics!
no world for tomorrow is their best album, fight me
@@rougejester no world for tomorrow was a solid ass album, the guitar licks were fucking top notch
I wish coheed would play more of their less known songs live. Seeing this and evagria live would be awesom
seems even they can sell out.
@@lemonsuckerYT nah mehnnn they just forgot most of afterman stuff
so many people dont even know or like coheed so they are doing just fine by me. It's cool you enjoy the hidden gems but Coheed live has my full respect as they just jam and don't talk or build anything up. The songs you get are what you get and they're all awesome

I would agree for every album prior to afterman.

this may be late, but the phrase "you let the wrong one in" applies both Meri and Sirius.
Dude. Coheed didn't go soft. It's just part of their whole style. They don't stick to a specific style. They always add something new. And this is just amazing!

Dude me too
my dad showed me this song when i was dealing with a lot of people treating me like crap! And it helped a lot so this song is special to me
I absolutely adored these two albums and this song specifically. Josh's drumming really sealed it for me.
This is still my favourite Coheed song.
I rememeber clicking on this randomly. I'm really picky about music. But this was one of those (really) rare cases where after the just the first listen, I loved it.
Still do
Coheed and Cambria holds a special place in my heart, the same way I return to certain Emo songs that normally at this point in my life I wouldn't be listening to.
But...what about Pretetheral?? Hmmmm?? Lol I'm sure I misspelled that...
@@michellePBrainBubblybutt Pretelethal is awesome
Same it's so groovy and catchy 😭😍🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥
There’s something about this one
Soaring
On fire
Under water
In pain and passion and the paranoia of a broken heart.
Every album, every song - I love C&C.
I can't wait for my grand kids to visit one day and ask "What IS that you are listening to?!" And of course I'll reply "You kids just don't know what good music is these days."
You know what's the second best thing about Coheed? Its fans. Everytime I come across a Coheed fan theyre the nicest person youll ever know.
Anyone who owns ears and has ever used them to listen to a Pink Floyd song bro. This song has Pink Floyd/Dave Gilmour guitar all over it... yet it still sounds like C&C. Sign of a great song writer that. Love this song.

This is the most Sevendust non-Sevendust song I've heard, and I love it!
These guys just keep being top notch. I have never heard one bad song in the last 8 years by them. UnFUCKING Believable
blood red summer album version!
Fred bruh, blood red summer is kick ass
I agree I love all their songs over the past 8 years from blood red summer to after man
It isnt a music being a compition thing, people just like to be the first do they can feel better than everyone. instead of listening to it and enjoying it with friends, welcome to the world we live in. Not even things we love can be enjoyed by all because someone has to be better than everyone else.
They are just like wine...
Damn, this bass is on point
God, that transition at 0:59.
ken oath mate! it blew my tiny mind
Work of art, truly.
Coheed and Cambria in Philippines !!! in the PULP SUMMER SLAM 2013 !
Cant wait !!!
SO. MANY. CHILLS. This song blows me away.
I couldn't even imagine all the different crap these guys have to put up with, all the different ppl wanting them to take their advice wanting them to change this and that. I'm sure they've bent a bit in some areas but I hope and truly believe they and especially Claudio will never let someone else dictate what he feels is best for coheed.
I love the pain in his voicw at the end "I stood by everything I loved." And after anger, it starts to sound like he's giving up and giving in like him standing by his convictions were pointless.

i've listened to this song at least 100 times already.
oh my god, go to the settings, the speed and go to 1.5 oh lord the chorus and everything sounds so great!
Hahaha, that's surprisingly great.
Be right back going to find Guns of Summer now..
I'd say the true power of Descension will really hit people when they listen to Ascension and Descension together. I know that's what I plan to do when it comes out.
Probably one of the most underrated bands of this generation. They keep rocking it and i'm loving it.
Coheed & Cambria = Life! these guys are da shit!
How can anything this good exist?
C&C is so sick.... I miss good old times sitting in my room saying screw the world and listening to Coheed and Cambria
In keeping Secrets is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
..."When did music become competition instead of art?" Nicely put man. Good point.
Sad day for you then if you can't appreciate the greatness that is SSTB and IKSSE3
Sure it has a name it's the music of the GODS !!!!
The bass and steccato/use of triplets is so on point! I love coheed but this is probably one of my favs... glad they don't conform
because the originality of your music has made you so popular... eveyone's a critic, but few have the right to be critics.
So in love with this song right now. It's like one of those movie trailer songs with a shitload of action scenes :P
Claudios voice makes me swoon
Shivers down the old spine.
coheed and cambria are basically the gods of modern rock
The solo has that Brick in The Wall type tone... I LOVE IT!!
Listened back to back over 30 times
Aka obsessed
Claudio and crew never ceases to amaze me with their lyrical genius and hearty musical smorgasbord... Kudos to you for all that you do, I appreciate you all 🤟💞
Rock n roll hall of fame... just a matter of time
I gotta say, I'm loving the bass line in this song, I feel like it really stands out among everything
cant get enough of this bass line
As a metal lover, this goes on as my favorite coheed song
Unbelievable, just...no words. I'm crying with joy right now. Josh Eppard and Zachary Cooper were the best things to happen this year.
This song is life.
Coheed rocks my socks off
In the hard cover Claudio explains that its about what Coheed has always been about: making meaningful music. He says "The need for validation from those who don't like us was never a concern because making music for them wasn't the catalyst to do it in the first place. The music we create is simply a result of what we are at any given moment. I'd rather just keep doing what we do and understand that if it continues to resonate within our audience it just means we're doing something right"
The Reason I've never stopped listening Coheed & Cambria
Coheed and Cambria are like a fine wine, they get better with age
Oh wow. I love this one. I think everything Coheed and Cambria does is epic... but this one... wow. I'm speechless in the face of so much awesome.
The meaning of the song is in the title of the album. The Afterman is Amorys true self (Who he is without the influence of the world), which he discovered through the process of self-realization. Both albums r the story of his ascension. The Key entities are past lives that he has lived (Cause we know the keywork is powered by souls after death) which contains key characteristics of him that he doesnt include in his persona. In the keywork hes forced to confront these entitys and accept him as a
beauty, redifined. as only coheed and cambria can
its really amazing how diverse the style of c&c is
people naturally compare art and music. they have as long as it has existed
My official walkin music for work. Thanks c&c
Yes... yes it is. In the accompanying book (which Claudio wrote himself) It was sparked by an argument he had with his manager, and not wanting to just "write a hit" to appease him. The first thing said about the Hard Sell, and I'm quoting from the book...

why am I just now hearing this amazingggggggggggggggggggggggg tune!
love the WOO OOO OOO! throughout the song
In my opinion this is one Coheeds best tracks off of any album. The groovy solo gets me every time. Josh’s drumming is impeccable and Claudios vocals are so powerful.

dat bass!.. and dat guitar!.. and dat voice!... and dat band altogether!!
The Bass! It's so groovy! YES!
my new favorite coheed and cambria song!
Saw them live on Saturday night in NJ, bummed they didn't play this song!
best! never see this good music awarded. too good, I guess.
There's never enough cool for everyone. What a lyric. XD Love it.
Claudio's voice is priceless
Another entertaining song by Coheed^.^
Can't wait for the Amory Wars movie. Thank you Marky Mark!
It's not that i didn't like their music, it's just that I never listened to them, and then I had an epiphany for music. I have been enlightened.
I think it is more about the means in which you listen. Good headphones are a must.
Love the song. Sentry The Defiant is also awesome from the next album. cant wait.
my brother saw you on your latest tour, which is the s.s. neverender Miami to Nasau, him seeing you guys was a dream cometrue for me too
Ascension; Descension! Im in love with them both. Can't wait for February! Coheed and Cambria for life!
Coheed and Cambria is non-stop.. Did you expect anything less?
Coheed Forever!!
Every coheed song is a blessing to my ears, i feel proud of being boricua and having claudi reprsent our little island coheed for life!
The rock gods have smiles upon CO&CA! This is mostly why im leaving Italy, just to see them in Austin!!
Rapping? Where would anyone get Claudio started a rap verse? Non the less I love this, so much soul and energy!
Yes good sign that Decension is on it's way.
One of little bands able to record something really good as new band. Great Powerfull band, as progressive rock. Only Congratulations. There' s light at the end of the tunnel, fortunately..
This song. That bridge. Those vocals. GODDAMN.
this one makes my top 10 by this band. the lyrics being the best part
