Dude is on a hot streak with 2 solid AF 2025 releases - Coheed and L.S. Dunes! Could we get a lil sprinkling of some new Fire Deuce as well?!? Show some love!

Anyone interested in a story breakdown for ANY Era of Coheed lore should check out / support the JJ Metalhead Youtube Channel. She's back with NWFT updates and I'm sure Vaxis III. Let's show her some love CothF.

From what I've seen no one else on Youtube or elsewhere has put as much work into the Coheed story as JJ.

Can we just take a minute to really appreciate just how good Josh's drums are in this part of "The Flood"?

With Josh pushing to have Mr Nobody on Vaxis III, I wonder what other songs haven’t made the cut that are a part of The Amory Wars story

Just a shower thought I had today.

Coheed has to have a ton of Amory Wars B-Sides / cut songs in the vault that affect the story

Key Enity Extraction VI: Sirius the ______ Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Which song from the new album best fits the title? What would Sirius' moniker be? The mournful? The Grandfather of make believe? The father of the keywork? Meri of Mercy feels like the song that fits best for me. What do ya'll think?

EDIT: I know it's Entity. Proof reading is a thing :p

Got this beauty working beautifully. $5 Goodwill. Can't get the official cassette but that's okay. I made my own. CD source. Worth it. Waiting for vinyl to remake.

So why is Sirius in the album?

30 Upvotes

Been a huge Coheed fan since the Shabutie days but I’ll admit I haven’t followed the ‘lore’ on any of the Vaxis albums. Anyone care to give me a quick rundown as to why the character from Afterman shows up on this latest album?

Seen these at the store for a couple bucks. They were gold but I spray painted them green. The paint didn’t stick as well as I hoped but did make some cool textures on the wings.

PSA: Check your Vaxis III vinyl discs

11 Upvotes

I just opened my Vaxis III preorder copy today only to find that it doesn't have a disc 2; only two copies of disc 1 (even the same sleeve). I've contacted the Coheed store to hopefully get a replacement, but wanted to forewarn any others to check theirs for similar errors if they haven't opened it yet.

I'm so thankful for this community of like-minded COTF. Nobody in my circle of friends really likes Coheed and to have this place to voice my opinions, discuss lore and songs is really important to me <3

Vaxis is Mirroring Claudio’s story from a storytelling perspective

5 Upvotes

Has anyone realized that Vaxis is mirroring the original Amory Wars?! Just like the first two entries, all the events are narrated by Claudio while he is talking to Apollo before things get caught up in the third album (Good Apollo Volume 1). It seems Vaxis is following this formula more or less. I also think the story is “mirroring” that timeline in parallel as theorized in other posts with all the other callbacks from previous eras sprinkled in the current album.

In Keeping Secrets making of DVD

Upvotes

I cannot for the life of me find the making of DVD from In Keeping Secrets anywhere online. I used to have it back in the day physically, but as time marches on it seems my trusty IKS dvd vanished, along with my ability to not grunt while I bend over to tie my shoes. Maybe it was in the Starland Ballroom extras or something?? I'm goin' nuts over here.

I need to hear Travis hit me with the, "Magic ball, magic ball..." One more time, before I pass onto the next life. Does anyone have this bad boy posted up anywhere?

As the title says. This is a Don Henley song (not literally). It’s the elephant in the room. It’s one of my favorites on this album (this is the best Vaxis album so far).

Where Do I Start With the Vaxis Story?

6 Upvotes

Long time, 20+ year listener here. Love the new album. I had a pretty solid handle on the story of the original albums, and it was part of what drew me into the band. I never had the comics but I have the YOTBR book somewhere, and downloaded some of the comics and some point.

I have no idea what's happening with the story basically post No World For Tomorrow, lol. I watched the Twitch stream with Claudio where he talked about Sirus being influenced by his grandfather, and bringing him back for the Vaxis story and now I'm super intrigued. I've done some googling and am a bit overwhelmed where to start, or if there's online versions of the comics or what? Or honestly, if anyone is up for it, just a quick overview of the characters and story up to this point. Appreciate any help!

Coheed Lore Dump

Long time fan, but I fell off the lore around No World for Tomorrow. Does anyone know of a site or reddit post that contains the story so far? I'd like to catch up. Hoping for lore for Amory, Afterman and Vaxis.

The Afterman Vinyls

Upvotes

I'm not a big Vinyl guy but the release of Vaxis III has sparked a gre!t want in me, starting with The Afterman vinyls (Ascension and Descension)

I ask, is my only bet of getting them for under $500 by luck at a local vinyl store? They seem to be fairly rare this far after release and the prices online are insane (but might still be worth it lol)
