Coheed and Cambria announce two new albums

Coheed and Cambria

Coheed and Cambria have announced that they will be releasing two albums over the next several months. The first, The Afterman: Ascension, is due out October 8, 2012 and the second, The Afterman: Descension, is due out in February.

As with the band's back catalog, the albums are set in frontman Claudio Sanchez' Amory Wars universe, a science fiction concept which was written into a comic book and recently optioned for a film by Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson of Leverage Productions.

The band has posted a trailer about the record which doesn't appear to include any of the prog-punk band's new music, but is suitably opaque and arty to make up for that.
