Coheed and Cambria head to Metropolis
On the back of their highly successful fourth installment to the
concept albums series The Amory Wars, Coheed and Cambria headed to
Metropolis Fremantle to rock the crowds of WA.
A mixed
crowd attended and varied between tweeny girls, metal heads and those
too 'alternative' to miss out on one of the most talked about concepts
albums of the year.
For anyone who's been following the tale created by lead singer Claudio
Sanchez, the release of the anticipated ending of the series will
probably be the next time we see the band perform for us.
However their most recent cavort here was certainly a memorable one
particularly at the end where we were blown away by Welcome Home before
being subjected to a long and uncomfortable instrumental session where
all members of the band bar the drummer eventually walked off stage
while the drummer kept up a lengthy solo performance.
The return of all players by the end of the session didnt make enough
of an impact to make up for several minutes of boredom, and provided
for a bit of an awkward ending.
Despite that, it was a great show full of rockin guitar moves and dark
undertones, enough to keep fans happy between albums but hope for a
bigger stage next time.
Not the best WA has seen in rock music this year but an entertaining one nonetheless.
Fans of concept albums can look forward to The Mars Volta finally
making an appearance in WA later this year (fingers crossed we aren't
screwed around again).
