NEVERENDER first came to pass in 2008, when Coheed and Cambria played 4 albums over 4 nights, and did so in New York, London, Chicago and LA. The band followed it up with a very successful NEVERENDER tour in 2011 to celebrate the band's first album. For NEVERENDER IKSSE:3 - Coheed and Cambria will play their landmark 2003 album, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 in its entirety.
Over the past 10 years, Coheed and Cambria - singer-guitarist Claudio Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever, bassist Zach Cooper and drummer Josh Eppard - have distinguished themselves as among the most gifted storytellers in rock. Sanchez's 'The Amory Wars' narrative - spun out across their five previous studio albums which together have sold over 2 million copies in the United States alone - is a good vs. evil science-fiction epic that's become to Coheed and Cambria fans something like what The Wall and Quadrophenia were to previous generations.

New York's Coheed and Cambria officially began in 2001, although the band originally formed as a trio called Shabutie in 1995. After performing a poppy metal/indie rock sound for many years, they decided to shift gears and, in the process, changed their name. Their first conceptual album, 2002's The Second Stage Turbine Blade, was picked up by Equal Vision Records and features a guest appearance by Bad Brains guitarist Dr. Know. The progressive rock band -- vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez, guitarist Travis Stever, bassist Michael Todd, and drummer Joshua Eppard -- toured extensively for over a year in support of the album, which was the second part (though the first album) of a five-part saga about the doomed marriage of two characters, Coheed and Cambria, who "are convinced they must sacrifice their children in order to save the world from being infected by a virus that is embedded in their genes." Sanchez also wrote and released a detailed graphic novel series to further explain the plot.
Coheed & Cambria's third album, Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness -- their first for Columbia -- followed in fall 2005; the album (part four) was the first of a two-part conclusion to the band's running sci-fi story line (with the fifth album intended to be the first part). It hit number seven on Billboard's Top 200, partially due to the success of "The Suffering" and "Welcome Home." On Halloween 2006, Equal Vision released the debut from Sanchez's indie electronic solo project, the Prize Fighter Inferno, entitled My Brother's Blood Machine. Continuing in the tradition of his primary group, the album centers around three families in a story that pre-dates the Coheed/Cambria saga and is narrated by Inferno (aka Jesse, Coheed's brother). ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
