Cambria and Coheed Launch Endless Runner To Promote Their New Album
The progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria are about one month away from releasing Vaxis Act II: A Windows of the Waking Mind. The band also has a few links to video games. This can be seen in their lead singer, who is currently playing and singing about games on Twitch. Or in the delisted mobile fighting game The Amory Wars, The Fall of the Keywork was created in the band’s concept album universe. As vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez admits, it didn’t go well the first time, as vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez admits. However, the band isn’t terrified to use games to promote their music. An endless runner called Vaxis II: the Game exists. It’s functional, and it is!
It’s free and accessible on a web browser. The game puts you in the shoes of Creature and Sister Spider, who was introduced in the band’s last concept album Vaxis: The Unheavenly Creatures. These characters are the main stars of the band’s new records. They take place in the science fiction universe that the band has been singing about for more than 20 years.
The Vaxisgame sounds exactly like it does. It is playable and not offensive, which is more than what could be said about The Fall of the Keywork. That is a significant improvement. It plays music from the band’s next album, released on May 27. Every song that the band has released to promote the album has been a hit with me. “The Liars Club” is a banger.
Although it may seem like I am making fun of the band, this group has been my favourite for over 15 years. It’s a love song, and I’m excited to hear their new album and see them live in concert this summer.
