new song "Here We Go Juggernaut" is up on their myspace now.
I hate hearing it with that mypace compression, but I won't deny, there was a section (melody) towards the last 2 minutes (or less) that caught my attention. I'm not expecting this record to be as good as Good Apollo 1, but I guess it won't take them that much to surpass NWFT no matter. I just hope the production isn't too hot, which a lot of layered albums seem to be.
David Botrill should work with them again (see more evidence in that new Circa Survive song).

Hey Everybody,
Happy Holidays and all that. We know you have been waiting patiently for Coheed info for 2010, so we hope this fills your hunger for now:
Our new album will be titled, “Year of the Black Rainbow,” and is set for release in April 2010 and will be followed by a headline tour of the US, and then on to Europe and the UK for festivals and such.
As most of you know, the new album will be the “Origin Story” or “The Prequel,” and likely the final story of the ongoing concept story of “The Amory Wars”
With “Year of the Black Rainbow,” we will be releasing a deluxe package that includes a NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME. Not a graphic novel, but a full 300+page prose novel, which will tell the origins of Coheed and Cambria, and much more. There will be no mystery to this story, you will be able to explore it like never before. Presales will start near the end of December, exact date and pricing to be announced soon.
Producing this record is:
Atticus Ross http://www.ninwiki.com/Atticus_Ross
And Joe Baressi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Barresi
They have helped us evolve our sound to be more powerful and dynamic than ever and we think it’s definitely our best work to date.
Some song titles are: “Here We are Juggernaut,” “The Broken,” “Pearl of the Stars,” and “Guns of Summer.”
Co-writing the book with Claudio is Peter David http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_David
The album will be released through Columbia Records/Sony in North America. For the rest of the world, Sony has licensed the rights to Roadrunner Records, who we feel will better make our music available in those territories, and opening up the potential for us to come to countries we rarely or never have been to before. We are very excited.
Can’t wait til you can experience it.
Peace, Co&Ca

These names may not have much if any impact on how good or bad this record is. However, those resumes really do next to nothing for me. Granted, the guy who produced the new dredg album, Matt Radosevich I felt similarly about his experience, and the final result ended up rather good.
However, if this *prequel* ends up being similar in style or quality to their last record "No World For Tomorrow" I certainly will have an easy reason to point toward that production team. Those middle 2 records are excellent, and really at one point I was thinking Coheed was going to become one of my a-list bands. They could, if this next record, YOTBR, ends up being better. But I'm at a wait and see. I suppose they're kind of in a feast or famine situation for me.

You know Good Apollo Vol. 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness is the best album of the decade hands down in my humble opinion. NWFT was a bit of a let down but had it's moments. Will see if Chris Pennie had found his nitch if so this bands could be back on track to take over the world.. hehe shabutie
After 2nd Stage, their egos got as big as Claudio's (lame) hair. This is the 3rd horrible album in a row.
When is the tour w/ Nickleback?
meh, as I have posted in this blog before, and partly in this entry, Good Apollo 1 remains their masterpiece. In Keeping Secrets is damn good as well. But I actually feel as much of a dud NWFT was, it still had more music I prefer to Second Stage.
Sorry, but I'm not into emo or punk, and Coheed had more evidence of that, and less progressive rock influence on that record. Is Second Stage a horrible record? no, but it sounds like a lot of debut records; some flashes of talent, but not refined enough. All the people who drool over that record I've never understood why. A bit like the dredg fans who always go back to saying they have never (and may never) do anything better than Leitmotif. Which to my feeling is, I never would have liked either of thowe bands had I listened to those albums 1st.
