Coheed and Cambria have released an artful teaser trailer announcing the release of their new dual album, The Afterman.
Volume One, The Afterman: Ascension will be released on October 9. Volume Two, The Afterman: Descension will be released in February 2013.
A deluxe edition of the album will include a hardcover book that will illustrate the album song by song. Read more about the album’s release here.
Coheed and Cambria have also announced a set of tour dates through the U.S. and U.K. leading up to the release.
Additionally, it was announced earlier this month that The Amory Wars, the band’s epic comic book series, has been picked up by Mark Wahlberg to be developed into a live-action feature film.
