It’s morning in Brooklyn where Claudio Sanchez, the mastermind behind Coheed and Cambria’s epic narratives and refined prog-punk sound, is sitting at a wide desk surrounded by the creative spoils of his life in music: synths of varying make and model stacked on a rack to his right, a regiment of amplifiers pushed against the walls, and of course, plenty of guitars at the ready.
This is Coheed’s inner sanctum, the small room where the band’s Amory Wars and Vaxis storylines are set to riffs, and where Sanchez and co-guitarist Travis Stever laid down the guitar tracks and Sanchez produced the band’s latest album and third entry into the Vaxis saga, The Father of Make Believe.
