Coheed and Cambria — which includes Travis Stever (lead guitar), Josh Eppard (drums), and Zach Cooper (bass) — emerged in the early 2000s wedged between an emo renaissance and a metal revival. While their peers broke hearts and banged heads, Sanchez and co. were crafting Game of Thrones-level fantasies around a storyline called The Amory Wars that unfurls across 78 planets collectively known as Heaven’s Fence. Eight of the band’s nine albums thus far (plus a small galaxy of comics and novels) dwell in this world — and so does The Father of Make Believe. It’s just that the sky is cracking now, revealing the guiding hand behind the scene.
