Product description

Coheed and Cambria's seventh studio album, The Afterman: Descension, is a masterful culmination of the band's progressive rock prowess. Released on 5 February 2013, this album is the second part of a double album, complementing its predecessor, The Afterman: Ascension. The band spent seven months recording both albums between 2011 and 2012, resulting in a cohesive and intricate narrative that explores the character of Sirius Amory.

The Afterman: Descension is a 12-track album that delves into the earliest story in the Coheed and Cambria universe, serving as a prequel to Year of the Black Rainbow. With tracks like 'Pretelethal', 'Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant', and 'Gravity's Union', the album showcases the band's ability to craft complex, yet captivating songs that transport listeners to a richly imagined world.

Clocking in at 58 minutes, The Afterman: Descension is a testament to Coheed and Cambria's skill in balancing lengthy compositions with infectious melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. The album's themes and storylines are expertly woven throughout, creating an immersive experience that will leave fans of progressive rock eager to explore the world that Coheed and Cambria have created.

With its release, The Afterman: Descension solidified Coheed and Cambria's position as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the progressive rock genre. The album's intricate storytelling, coupled with its soaring vocals and intricate instrumentation, make it an essential listen for fans of the band and the genre as a whole.

This LP is pressed on Picture Disc vinyl.

Stunning Album, Minor Playback Issue

This album is absolutely stunning! Every piece of artwork, including the inner sleeve, is gorgeous. The LP disc feels quite light. My record player has an automatic stop feature that seems to cut off side 1 too early during the last track (Gravity's Union), which is a letdown. I think it's because the grooves get so close to the center of the record. I haven't had any issues with this feature on any of my other records, though. As for the music, how could you possibly go wrong? I'm in love with every song on this album, with maybe the least favorite being Dark Side of Me. Side 1 is probably my favorite side of any Coheed LP. This album is truly amazing. And this LP is a fantastic display piece. I'm not sure if I can recommend it for listening as much as a standard 180 gram vinyl, though. But I'm not disappointed, though.

This album is absolutely stunning! Every piece of artwork is gorgeous, including the inner sleeve. The LP disc itself is surprisingly light. My record player has an automatic stop feature that seems to kick in too early during the last track on side 1 (Gravity's Union), which is a bummer. I think it's because the grooves are so close to the center of the record. I haven't had any issues with this feature on any of my other records, though. As for the music, how could you possibly go wrong with this? I'm in love with every song on this album, with maybe the least impressive one being Dark Side of Me. Side 1 is probably my favorite side of any Coheed LP. This album is truly amazing. And this LP makes for a fantastic display piece. However, I'm not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend it for listening purposes as much as a standard 180 gram vinyl. But hey, I'm not disappointed overall.
