"Like its predecessor, it's a collection of eight punchy, melodic hard rock songs ... what's always made Coheed and Cambria interesting is the balance they strike between conceptual exploration and disciplined pop songwriting" - ALTERNATIVE PRESS

"Just as with Ascension, this record tugs at the heart strings with seasoned bluesy guitar leads, powerful vocal melodies ... hooks are apparent, influences are vast and no doubt, the comic will keep Everything Evil nerds occupied." -
MUSIC CONNECTION

"... trademark tight grooves, melodic meanderings, and catchy hooks ... if Ascension ranks as spectacular, Descension is right on par with it."
ILLIONOIS ENTERTAINER

About The Afterman:  The first volume from the double-album (Ascension) charts the sci-fi journey of Sirius Amory into the stars of the alternate universe known well by Coheed fans as "Heaven's Fence." Upon entering "the Keywork," the blue gaseous energy force that powers these worlds, Amory stumbles upon the Afterlife. In his first confrontation with a soul, "Domino the Destitute" possesses Sirius, who is forced to relive the frenetic events that had occurred in Domino's waking life. The second volume, 'Descension' follows Sirius' return to his home planet where he faces not only the moral dilemma of sharing what he has discovered, but also a tragic accident that will turn his life upside down.

About The Amory Wars: Created by guitarist/singer/songwriter Claudio Sanchez, The Armory Wars is a cosmic narrative spanning five concept albums, countless comic books, and a novel co-written by Peter David. It's become a defining tale for hundreds of thousands of dedicated Coheed fans, who devour and dissect each new chapter with an ardor to rival followers of Lost or Game of Thrones. Mark Wahlberg and Steve Levinson recently announced that they will produce the live-action film version.
