The Amory Wars: The Story of Coheed and Cambria

About this episode

This episode explores the unique blend of music and storytelling by the band Coheed and Cambria, focusing on their ambitious project The Amory Wars.

Today's band is one of the most ambitious and unconventional groups to ever come out of the emo and post-hardcore world. A band that mixed progressive rock, sci-fi storytelling, and emotional intensity into something completely unique. This is Coheed and Cambria, the band behind the sprawling science-fiction saga known as The Amory Wars.
