Proggbandet Coheed and Cambria från New York släpper ett konceptalbum uppdelat på två album kallat The Afterman. Det första albumet, The Afterman: Ascension släpps den 8 oktober via V2/Everything Evil och det andra albumet kommer februari 2013.
Bandets frontman Claudio Sanchez kommenterar, “This is without a doubt, the most honest record I’ve ever written. 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.”
