'' is the third
Album by the
Progressive Rock band
Coheed And Cambria . It was released on
September 20 2005 (see
2005 In Music ). It is the first disc of the fourth section of a projected
Tetralogy .
The album begins to resolve the issues of Claudio's quest to protect the Keywork, and sheds more light on the demise of Coheed and his wife Cambria. Also, it sheds light on the issues of the Monstar virus and Jesse's involvement in the saga. A graphic novel based upon the entire story of the album was released on the same day. This album, unlike the others, tells the story through the eyes of the writer.
