Year of the Black Rainbow is the fifth album by progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria and is the prequel to The Amory Wars storyline.

History

The band began recording the album in summer 2009 and finished up later that year in November. Claudio Sanchez noted that the album is very melodic.[1]

On February 2, 2010, the band confirmed that the release date will be April 13, 2010. The album 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 lead singer Claudio Sanchez and New York Times bestselling author Peter David.

The album is produced by Atticus Ross (Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction) and Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool). According to 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 album also features the studio debut of Coheed and Cambria drummer Chris Pennie, who has been playing alongside Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever and bassist Michael Todd since 2007.

Year of the Black Rainbow's release will be preceded by a series of eight intimate club gigs on the northeastern United States, six of the eight are already sold out.[2] The band announced a U.S. tour featuring 36 dates (including eight in March).[3]

The first song to be released from the album, "The Broken," premiered at midnight on February 9, 2010.[4] According to the band's Twitter page, "The Broken" is not the single of the album.

The first official single from the album, "Here We Are Juggernaut", is set to be released on March 9.[5]
