Coheed And Cambria Release Video For New Single 'Feathers'

Columbia Records is proud to announce the release of Coheed And Cambria’s video for "Feathers," the second single off the band’s new album, "No World For Tomorrow," and undoubtedly their catchiest tune to date. MTV2 plans to "Unleash" the new video on February 4th, planning to air it 12 times that day and thereafter placing it directly into "Elite 8" rotation.

The Hitchcockian black and white video, is a dark comedy, directed by Marc Klasfeld (Gnarls Barkley, Foo Fighters, Bloodhound Gang) and focuses on a "perfect" 1950s American family who have a very naughty secret. "Feathers" stars Rena Riffel, known for her roles in "Mulholland Drive" and "Dante’s Cove," as the cheerful stay-at-home mom ala "Ozzie and Harriet," but this mom has more than a conniving grin. Reminiscent of David Lynch or even more so, John Waters, what appears normal on the surface is not quite so when you take a closer look.

In anticipation of the new video, the band has launched a parody website. The site offers fans a mock preview of the plot and theme of the video. It also offers a teaser video and subtle references to the video’s secrets. The site will be updated with new clips of the song and other hints leading up to the premier.

Coheed and Cambria are currently on tour in the UK in support of their new record, and will be joining Linkin Park on the road for a nationwide tour that kicks off on February 12 in Ohmaha, NE. The new album, which debuted at #6 on the Billboad Top 200, has received great critical acclaim. Blender praised the new album and said that Coheed "have found their sweet spot" while Revolver noted that it "feels like the beginning of something new".

for the band. The Los Angeles Times intoned: "Self-indulgence is frequently seen as a crime in modern rock music, but without it there would have been no Led Zeppelin or "Sgt. Pepper," no Ziggy Stardust or System of a Down. Overreaching sometimes pays off. And few young bands reach further than the prog-metal act Coheed and Cambria, for whom the extremes of time and space hardly seem to be enough." "Rolling Stone" - said that "there was plenty worthy of rewind" on "No World for Tomorrow."

i saw them last week in Nottingham, they were very good live although they only played 1 song off my favourite Apollo 1 =(...

anyway, i wouldn't have picked feathers for a single but it's all good and it's good for them and us if they're producing imaginative videos that aren't just the band playing...

They've totally sold out. They changed their sound so much, they've just turned into generic pop-rock.

Shut the **** up, have you even heard the new album.

The internet has given everyone a voice, yet no one wants to listen to yours.

mmmmm a concept band that puts their lyrics into graphic novels which are based around the apocolyspe of an imagined world.....yeah what a bunch of sellouts.

Do you even hear yourself when you talk?!?

Dude, I used to LOVE this band, I've read all of the novels and know the story like the back of my hand. But seriously, the new album is poppy shite. They have veered away from their progressive rock roots which won over so many fans. They are not prog anymore, they have changed their style to sell records. This was their first album recorded in LA and not Woodstock, and it sounds like it.

I'm happy you don't like them saves space for non elitist people who happen to be real fans and recognises talent rather than bitching about "selling-out" at their gigs. Prog rock is all about makiong changes and advances and no wold tomorrow builds upon their previous albums without recreating the same songs over and over. Everyone has altered theor styles over the year, In retrospect do you think people moan about the beatles changing their style.....ermmmm nope. I agree they have changed form IKSOSE III and second stage but the new album is not poppier but heavier than the last couple.

[whocares09]

wow, i cant believe theres a "selling out" war with coheed.

they have most definately not sold out, every single one of coheeds albums sounds different. i like SSTB and good apollo 1 the best. but IKSSE3 is way more poppy than NWFT

im just glad they are getting the attention they deserve, because i have yet to find a band as kick ass as coheed

[Bananapatata]

lol. funny vid. very sweeney todd-esque.

No world for tomorrow has never been poppy, its heavier then any of their albums.

They are not progressive anymore as they have changed their style.....i thought that what progressing as a band was all about. Who wants to hear the same song over and over again! Sounds like your just moaning cause "your" band has gained a larger following rather just you and your mates knowing about them.

In fact forget it, im glad elitist bastards like you aren't going saves some space at the gigs for real fans.

Well now that all the elitists are gone from their shows, you'll get a bunch of pre-pubesent 12 year old because they sold out. Its how the world works...Look at Green Day for instance. XD
(BTW:I'm pretty sure elitests are real fans. Their just more progressive than the band itself, if they don't like what a band has done they'll progress to something new.)

[paul_brownell]

Right theres only one way to sort this.....poll

[Junesongtrigger]

Haha. Selling out is the most ridiculous concept ever. They have to make money and it isn't like the music has honestl gone downhill. They are being a lot more true to their musical preferences and its apparent. There is this ridiculously irritating battle over the whole Coheed sucks thing because they don't recreate In Keeping Secrets or SSTB.

IKS was by far the poppiest album, and I feel it is their best. I still enjoy NWFT a lot as well. Coheed has always done poppy songs...I'm so confused as to how they are sell outs. They are popular because they are ****ing talented, therefore they make money.

[Junesongtrigger]

By the way, this video is really awesome.

[Black Star]

Are you seriously calling NWFT selling out?

In Keeping Secrets was the biggest pop album Coheed has released. Can you honestly say that songs such as Mother Superior and Gravemakers & Gunslingers are more poppy than Favor House Atlantic, Faint of Hearts, Blood Red Summer, and The Light and the Glass?

I've loved everything Coheed and Cambria has put out. They haven't sold out at all. If anything, they "sold out" with IKS.

[papersun87]

Feathers is the second-best song Coheed has ever written.

And the video is the creepiest thing I've seen since the video for Aberinkula by The Mars Volta . . .

[Jondy]

Watched the video a little while ago, and DAMN! You all gotta see it, look it up on youtube. It is insane.

[Hanzi_G]

I think NWFT is the least poppy of the Coheed records (maybe besides SSTB). I think they've just taken a different direction.

As far as the music video, I didn't like it that much. The teaser website basically gave away the whole plot of the story.

[j-boy199]

I love coheed and cambria

They're one hell of a good band :]

and this new video is cool too =P

Checked*

[Flying Afros]

saw them play in october and they were amazing. also just saw the video, its great and wierd lol

[paul_brownell]

Looks like every one has come to the conlusion that Omar was dropped on his head as a child unfortunately for all of us it wasn't from high enough

[Shadowplay13]

i love this band i just wish the singer would take it down an octave or so..lol but its all good

[qotsa1998]

Im not a huge fan of this new album. It kinda has sort of an 80's vibe to it, with all the reverb in the songs. Feathers is very poppy and catchy compared to some of their other stuff, but should finally get them some good radio play.

I disagree, I don't think IKSOSE3 was that poppy. It was certainly less raw than SSTB, but I wouldn't describe it as poppy. NWFT is a little poppier than the others, but so what? If Coheed didn't change, everyone would just complain that they never change, so embrace the changes they've made, I think NWFT is awesome.

Anyway, I wouldn't have expected "Feathers" as a single. I thought for sure "The Hound(Of Blood And Rank)" or "Gravemakers And Gunslingers" would have been singles. Ah well, "Feathers" is still one of my favourite tracks off the album. But "Justice And Murder" is better.

[Moontard]

I'm bummed. I loved SSTB and IKSSE3 but I didn't like Apollo 1 or 2. It's just my opinion. Not saying that they are bad albums, i'm sure alot of people dig them.

[nt1440]

NWFT isnt really that poppy, listen to the end complete, listen to gravemakers & gunslingers, not all that poppy, ud never hear either on the radio.

as for changing, well of course they have, its progression,(look at the damn beatles for gods sake, were they ne were near their original sound by the time they broke up?) the musicianship of this album really took it up a notch overall.

I wanted them to change, I wanted them to go even farther into the progressive rock realm, like they had consistently did since the first album. Sorry for double posting, but apparently nobody knows where I'm coming from....

[Mamono]

wait....for music to be POP doesnt it have to have many peers playing the same shit, as in POPular music style. you show me 5 mainstream bands that can incorporate the classical idea of movements and classical flow into a song...i mean POPULAR bands, with the exception of TMV (goliath is my new god)... but hey this is jsut my opinion. its not all about an individual, its about the music community. Just because one person or small group says something, it doesnt make it true. If that's true, then according to my girlfriend, i play like jimi hendrix....which is a farce in itself.

Failure? I was never trying to do anything in the first place except state my opinion, and I did. I don't really see your point here...

[paul_brownell]

ahhhh the old opinion excuse to try and justify a point....for example "in my opinion the sky is yellow" just because its an opinion dont make it right. all im trying to say is that you wanted them to be more progressive but are pissed they changed their sound. Sound its a bit of a contrdiction

what are you doing here omar. noone cares about what you think. stop responding to everyones comment here. Cohhed is still or more popular then ever while your here trying to bash them. good job man. and great work coheed

[Mamono]

haha, in my opinion....people need to chill out and jsut listen to music instead of sit and debate it.

[lateraluspiral]

good band. im wearing one of their shirts right now. Im excited to see what they have to write after the amory wars thing is over.

[peaceonearth52]

Checked*

[TheCrowing2113]

Sold out and all that, pssh. To be honest, they;re making music that their fans and some outlets of the press appreciate and like. If people dont like it fair enough but dont spoil it for those who do like the band.

Going to see em tomorrow in birmingham with fightstar, madina lake and circa survive,

[Tmor586]

Go buy IKS. right now. No world is alright, but go buy iks, you will not be dissapointed, unless outstanding music disapoints you.

[C&C Magik]

Great band. Probably my all time favorite.

NWFT is probably their poppiest. SSTB had song structures that were way to weird to be poppy, IKSSE had its poppy moments, but still contained an "epic" sound. GA1 was the darkest, I think. Don't get me wrong, NWFT is a really good album, but probably my least favorite of the 4. I love how much more prog the other ones seemed.

.... but The End Complete III: The End Complete kicks so much ass.

Do you even know what progressive music is?

[f1sk]

havn't seen the video yet but awesome album
I don't know if I would consider myself a real fan of the band though, I don't have any of their other albums and I wasn't super pumped about them, they weren't bad but....etc

[AerialOverdrive]

ahhhhh.....

I called this when the CD came out lol

[thycrusader]

I dont give a shit what coheed will do with their sound, they could play Medieval folk music and I would still crank that stuff as loud as it can go in my car. And its not poppy whatsoever if you ask me. Killer guitar riffs, amazing heartgrabbing solos, and well developed vocals. I love Coheed and Cambria. And I will support them through and through.

p.s. the video is very dark humor, good stuff.

Dude, this isn't Pop-rock. Pop-rock is music like Fall out Boy, stuff people call "emo". Some songs might lean towards a more Hard-rock genre musically, but lyrically, they're definately Prog-rock.

[eamon7]

coheed and cambria didn't sell out nor would they ever. they're way too kickass for that

[PeruvianSkies]

Love them, but they are not prog. The have progressive elements within their music, but they are not prog.

[GuitarHero0715]

Im a HUGE Coheed fan.

I

[GuitarHero0715]

*Ill have to agree with most people though, the newest album, NWFT is a bit of a dissappointment, there were some good tracks, NWFT was an amazing track, but the rest was subpar.

(I got cut off)

Having prog-ish lyrics don't make them prog though unfortunately.

[peever]

they were major fail on this record.
it just want up to the calibre of music im used to for coheed and cambria.

[Csb9130]

i thought this album was great, very different sounding, but it was cool because each album sounds different in a way.

[Black Star]

There's always going to be fans complaining when a new album comes out. Hell, there were fans complaining when IKSOSE3 came out. Same with Good Apollo Vol. 1. In fact, I hated most of Good Apollo Vol. 1. It seemed boring and unoriginal. But part of being a prog-rock fan includes being open to change. If you aren't open to change, you can't truly appreciate prog-rock at all, since progressive music revolves around change. Hence, "progressive".

Coheed and Cambria have progressed throughout their career. They are not the exact same as they were when they began, but that is also why so many people love them. Just like people love Dream Theater because every one of their albums has a different sound to it. That's all part of being a progressive rock band. Change.

[boxcarblink94]

should've been "gravemakers and gunslingers"

and everyone who says they sold out.. just shut the **** up. you're the people who make me insanely frustrated.

Im off to see them tonight!!!!!
Shoulda kinda be on my way to the trainstation right now rather than on here though xD

I do hope they play more older stuff though... i wasnt too impressed with there new album... my least favorite :/

[SideshowRaven24]

i don't think they purposly sold out,they just change their sound every album. my personal fav is second stage, probably my second favorite album of all time, second to deloused in the comatorium. Coheed is the best, even though they changed. Gotta stick by em, who knows whats next?

checked

[omarrodrigez]

paul_brownell wrote:

It sounds like POPULAR rock, not progressive rock. They sound way more like the Foo Fighters than King Crimson on this album, there's no denying that.

[omarrodrigez]

I was never saying they sounded like Madonna.

[valo_of_the_sha]

yeah i saw the new vid the other day...not too impressed but hey they're my favorite band so whatever.

[valo_of_the_sha]

I like the new album...I think they took a bit of a bluesy approach with it on songs like The End Complete V: On The Brink, Mother Superior (in some places,) The Hound, and The Reaping.

Overall the album impressed me...They've managed to have a slightly different sound (musically) on each album, and still make it original.

Nice logical fallacy there. Avril, Hillary Duff, and all these other little ****s are making money now too (and don't even make me list all the crap bands whose debut albums outsold Led Zeppelin I)--do you think they're '****ing talented' too? To use a mathematical operator, money-making ability definitely =/= talent.

Just like people love Dream Theater because every one of their albums has a different sound to it. That's all part of being a progressive rock band. Change.

Bah, I can summarize Dream Theater and prog as a whole in one sentence. Here goes: Hyperpretentiously overdone songs with insipid and mind-numbing sci-fi or fantasy lyrics played by brain-fried egomaniacs with as much showboating as possible.

The one thing for which I can almost respect Coheed is that they don't put solos in EVERY SINGLE SONG. That said, I still hate pop, prog, and most bands with high-pitched singers (exceptions being Rush, the old Smashing Pumpkins, and a few others).

Bringing this post around about 180 degrees, however, I was actually somewhat impressed with NWFT--listening to it was almost a painless experience for me. I still cringe every time Coheed's songs come on the radio (that's right, they're on the radio, for all you who still think they're somehow "underground" or whatever), but at least I no longer feel like I've been impaled upon a serrated claymore and left to bleed in a saltwater lake when I hear them. ::Raises a glass:: Congrats on finally hitting puberty, Claudio!

[qwerty_555]

I saw the video today and it was...different. Lol, it's a good song though.

Suprisingly enough, I only started listened to Coheed & Cambria last week. I've only got the Good Apollo Im Burning Star IV album, and I think its AWESOME.

No World For Tomorrow will be playing loud and proud on my stereo next week, I don't doubt that.

Nicely worded ^^

[whocares09]

Claudio recently bought his first house after NWFT hit the shelves. hes 30 and just bought his first house. That should be a hint to you guys that coheed isnt full of money. Therefore saying they have "sold out" doenst really make sense.
