Ten albums in, something changed for Coheed and Cambria.
As singer, guitarist, and master storyteller Claudio Sanchez began plotting out the sci-fi-inspired New York prog legends’ latest, The Father of Make Believe, he found himself writing more directly about his life and, especially, his career.
Amid the wailing guitars, cracking drums, and Sanchez’ powerful voice – centering listeners throughout moments placid and pinwheeling – Coheed devotees will still find plenty of character work and references to the lore.
But if you’re new here, there’s no homework required to feel our host’s hopes, fears, battles, and triumphs. Of course, you may get drawn in anyway. Coheed – which includes Travis Stever (lead guitar), Josh Eppard (drums), and Zach Cooper (bass) – emerged in the early 2000s wedged between an emo renaissance and a metal revival.
While their peers broke hearts and banged heads, they crafted Game of Thrones-level fantasies around their Amory Wars storyline, which unfurls across 78 planets known as Heaven’s Fence. Eight of the band’s albums thus far (plus a small galaxy of comics and novels) live in this space and so does The Father of Make Believe. It’s just that the sky is cracking, revealing the hand behind the scene.
In the past, says Sanchez, “I’ve kept the struggles of my life private. When I can’t express myself in words, I express in worlds.” And yet, as he assumes the role of main character, Coheed are yet again finding new ways to bring us into their universe.

Who says Monday night's are boring. Me and my son had a ripper of an evening. Coheed and Cambria were so tight. Sound system was brilliant and the lighting was great for this venue. Loved it.
I have officially met Coheed in 2016, 2018 & 2023, all of those occasions the pictures taken of myself and the band are brilliant. However this year, there is a clear drop in quality, the lighting is awful, you can hardly see Josh's face. I find it incredibly disheartening that I have spent my money to commemorate the night, but am left with a sour taste in my mouth and £140 poorer, all for a picture I probably could hand gotten a better shot of on my Pixel. I really hope on future tours, more time and effort is taken to prevent others potentially feeling how I do.
I've been a fan of coheed since the very start and they've always put on a good show but one thing I've found is that they get better with every tour. They're a band who have become more comfortable in front of an audience over the years and it really shows. Personally I think their current lineup Claudio Sanchez (guitar and lead vocal) Travis Stever (guitar and vocal) Zach Cooper (the happiest bassist on earth) and Josh Eppard (drums) is the best it's ever been, I genuinely hold them in as high a regard as heavy hitters like iron maiden and rush in the way of ability and versatility and I'm glad to have been on that journey with them. If you're even vaguely interested in their music I can't recommend them enough, the live experience is so different to the records and something to see yourself at least once.
