YEAR OF THE BLACK RAINBOW
APRIL 13, 2010
Deluxe Edition To Include 300+ page “Year of the Black Rainbow” Novel, Penned by Claudio Sanchez and Bestselling Author Peter David Appearing April 17 at Coachella
(New York - February 2, 2010; source: Columbia Records) Coheed and Cambria has confirmed April 13 as the release date of Year of the Black Rainbow, its heavily anticipated fifth studio album. The eagerly awaited prequel to “The Amory Wars” tetralogy, Year of the Black Rainbow will be released by Columbia in both a standard format and a deluxe edition including a 352-page Year of the Black Rainbow novel, penned by the band’s Claudio Sanchez and New York Times Bestselling author Peter David. In addition to the CD and novel, the deluxe edition will include a “Making of” DVD featuring studio and interview footage as well as a Coheed and Cambria “Black Card,” which will allow fans early entrance to shows, discounts on band merchandise and exclusive downloads and offers. Sneak peeks at the new album’s artwork and other exclusive visuals can be seen at http://www.coheedandcambria.com.
Year of the Black Rainbow provides the long awaited prequel to the band’s four previous inter-related concept albums — The Second Stage Turbine Blad[Photo]e (2002); In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3[Photo] (2003); Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One[Photo]: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness[Photo] (2005) and Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow (2007) - which comprise “The Amory Wars,” the conceptual narrative driving the band’s lyrics, penned by Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez. Year Of The Black Rainbow is also likely to be the final installment of the narrative of “The Amory Wars.”
Year of the Black Rainbow is produced by Atticus Ross (Nine Inch Nails, Jane’s Addiction) and Joe Baressi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool). According to the Sanchez, “They have helped us evolve our sound to be more powerful and dynamic than ever and we think it’s definitely our best work to date.” The new record also features the studio debut of Coheed and Cambria drummer Chris Pennie, who has been playing alongside Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever and bassist Michael Robert Todd since 2007 and was featured on Neverender: Children of the Fence Edition[Photo], the CD/DVD box set documentation of the fall/winter 2008 four-night stands during which the band played its catalogue in its entirety, one album per night, in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and London.

ULRICH SCHNAUSS/Missing Deadlines: Selected Remixes-Available 3/16/2010!
Although strictly speaking a remix album, Missing Deadlines
sees Schnauss adopt the role of a master orchestrator or alchemist, rearranging and restructuring the songs of his contemporaries, as opposed to simply adorning each with throwaway beats-by-numbers. The record is a testament to Schnauss’s unique aural vision, showcasing his undeniable grasp of heart-warming, heart-wrenching melody. Schnauss’s telltale signiture sounds are present in each track - whether it be the ever-oscillating synth patterns, the rich, reverb-laden voices, or the euphoric beats – whilst simultaneously remaining true to the spirit of the originals.

In all cases, the original songs are already great in their own right - which made it really inspiring to work with them.” – Ulrich Schnauss

KEEL have earned the RIGHT TO ROCK on THE STREETS OF ROCK 'n' ROLL!
KEEL are back in more ways than one!
In fact, they are back twice!
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the Hard Rock/Metal band's 1985 album including two bonus tracks. The Right to Rock was the second studio album by Keel and the one that marked the band's explosion into the '80s Metal scene. The album was produced by Gene Simmons of Kiss. This 25th anniversary edition adds two bonus tracks: 'Easier Said than Done' (Remix) and a newly recorded version of the immortal Metal anthem 'The Right To Rock'. For this recording, Keel invited their fans to participate via the internet. Keelaholics could download a guide track, sing along with the chorus, and send in an MP3 to be blended with the all-star chorus of the song which also features Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot), Lez Warner (The Cult), Ron Mancuso (Beggars & Thieves) and other members of the Las Vegas Rock scene (even Graham Russell from Air Supply joined in!).
2010 release from the veteran Hard Rock/Metal outfit led by Ron Keel. This recording contains 12 new anthems in the tradition of Keel's classic The Final Frontier, Keel, and Lay Down The Law albums: commercial Hard Rock featuring the twin-guitar attack of Marc Ferrari and Bryan Jay, drummer Dwain Miller's rock solid groove, Ron Keel's powerful vocals, and a collection of songs which the band feels are their best ever.
Twice the Keel means twice the party!
"Hell, yeah!"
