The eagerly awaited prequel to "The Amory Wars" tetralogy, Year of the Black Rainbow provides the long awaited prelude to the band's four previous inter-related concept albums -- The Second Stage Turbine Blade (2002); In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 (2003); Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness (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). 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 DVD.

Release Notes:

So, in the process of writing this review, I wrote at least 4 different
introductory paragraphs TRYING to come up with something epic enough to
represent how incredibly badass Year of the Black Rainbow is, but the
best I came up with was an image of Claudio Sanchez holding up a
machine gun guitar and blasting apart Nazis that may have been zombies.
Seeing as how I am not a skilled enough artist/photoshopper to actually
put this mind-blowing picture together, this could very well be totally
worthless. However, all is not lost: just imagine that picture in your
head, and you’ll find a pretty good place to rest your thoughts as to
how Year of the Black Rainbow sounds.

In all honesty, you can also find a pretty easy sketch of the album by
thinking back to his solo project, The Prize Fighter Inferno. A lot
will be made of the album’s more electronic/industrial sound being
caused by Chris Pennie’s input, but a lot of the sounds can be traced
back pretty definitively to that side projects sound. In A+ B = C
terms, it’s In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 plus My Brother’s
Blood Machine. For fans of the hair-metal of No World For Tomorrow and
who were expecting even more bombastic arena-filling riffs and
choruses, this may come as a slight disappointment. To older fans of
Coheed…well, at least there isn’t a song like “Justice in Murder” here.
The shift to a more pop-industrial sound is probably going to be just
as controversial as either of the Good Apollo’s shifts in sound.

For fans who just love Coheed or newcomers though, it really isn’t any
sort of deal. The album kicks off with the duo of “The Broken” and
“Guns of Summer” which in their own ways display the new sides to the
band. “The Broken” features the penchant Coheed still has for writing
epic, off kilter metal songs. The transition from the groove-metal
verse to the almost post rock atmosphere of the chorus is sublime, and
the weird “blah blah blah” after the chorus add some flair to the whole
affair. Meanwhile, “Guns of Summer” is easily the craziest sounding
song they’ve ever written, and a point where you could absolutely say
Chris Pennie definitely helped out in a big way. The song constantly
shifts between mathy-rock and soaring choruses, but it never sounds
forced, something Coheed have had problems with in the past.

And that’s how much of the album progresses. “Far” is a dreamy
electronic ballad that conquers its cheesiness by sublimely changing
its tones, even if its goes on a bit too long still. “This Shattered
Symphony/World of Lines” bring back some of that NWFT sound, but
without all the stupid guitar solos and voice modulation. “The Black
Rainbow” is an incredibly odd closer, eschewing the previous standards
set for Coheed epics and simply progressing through a macabre, melodic
first couples minutes till the concluding wails of “it’s over, it’s all
fallen apart…”, never exploding into some great climax but instead
transitioning perfectly into what would be the next chapter in the
’story’ of Coheed & Cambria.

There’s a lot of goodness to be found here (with only a brief mention,
“Here We Are Juggernaut”s chorus could be one of the defining moments
of the bands career), and that’s good considering that it’s biggest
weakness is it doesn’t really feel like an evolution. The sound is
different, but it doesn’t deviate from the formula that Coheed have
established. It’s mostly all the same pieces from the bands previous
records put into a different context. While it’s sort of a fresh take
on their musical canon, it could afford with more new songwriting
techniques and maybe less vocal effects. Still, Year of the Black
Rainbow is a consistently great album that may have required just a bit
more panache, and certainly lives up to its predecessors.

Deluxe edition including 2 previously unreleased bonus tracks. Enjoy!
