Coheed and Cambria have never been easy to pin down, genre-wise -- existing at the intersection of prog, metal, and post-hardcore since their debut in the early 2000's -- and in new songs from "Love Protocol" to "It Walks Among Us," that's clearly still the case. For the band's latest album, The Unheavenly Creatures, Coheed and Cambria found creative satisfaction in abandoning any existing expectations. Musically on the new album, singer Claudio Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever, bassist Zach Cooper and drummer Josh Eppard, decided that in order to properly take on this fully immersive world of music and fiction, they couldn't rely on outside forces to oversee the making of the record. They needed to be fully in the driver's seat, and thus stepped into the role of producing the album themselves.
