After six years and six different members,
Coheed and
Cambria (originally called
Shabütie) consisted of Claudio Sanchez on lead vocals and guitar, Travis
Stever on backup vocals and lead guitar, Michael Todd on Bass and Josh
Eppard on drums, all from
Nyack, Woodstock or Kingston, New York.
In 2001,
Coheed and
Cambria signed to Equal Vision Records and in February, 2002 they released their first album (the second of five concept albums depicting a five-part story called The Amory Wars). The album, The Second Stage Turbine Blade, was later re-released in September, 2005 with three bonus tracks. Unfortunately, the album wasn't very popular.
In 2003,
Coheed and
Cambria released their second album, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. The album went gold and their fan base enlarged greatly. In between recording sessions for a new album,
Coheed and
Cambria played some concerts, which all sold out very quickly and released their first DVD, Live at the
Starland Ballroom in March, 2005. It contained songs from both of their albums.
A few months later, they released their third album, Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. The album did not do as well as their previous one, but it still managed to go platinum. But, unfortunately, soon after they finished touring to promote their album,
Coheed and
Cambria's drummer, Josh
Eppard and bassist Michael Todd left the band. They were replaced with Chris Pennie on drums and Matt Williams on Bass. Also,
Coheed and
Cambria have recently announced that they will be playing new songs at this year’s Vans Warped Tour and might release a new album in Summer 2007.
