COHEED AND CAMBRIA are back with a new song and video called "The Joke"!
The song came from the "Vaxis II" sessions, and is finally seeing the light of day, along with a B-side called "Deranged". There was a remixed version of the song which appeared in 2011 as part of the "Batman: Arkham City" soundtrack, but now "The Joke" is available everywhere digitally, along with two different colored seven-inch vinyl versions on their website www.coheedandcambria.com.
"The meaning behind 'The Joke' is, basically, if you need a punching bag, I'll be that guy," said Sanchez.
The song's video features COHEED's "The Amory Wars" universe's fan favorite character "Al The Killer" being bullied by a prankster.
The new music comes as COHEED AND CAMBRIA, will hit the road this summer, to co-headline shows in July and August with PRIMUS before supporting INCUBUS at the end of the summer.
